Okay, i've bee reading and i'm thinking maybe i should just dive into making my first gallery so that i can have a much better idea of what this stuff is really about. After that, i wanna start with my own TGPs. so i've read that it's best for a newbie to create his/her gallery on a freesite and advertise his sponsors in this way. is this correct? how do i begin, and what can i expect? please be clear. thanks
