"TGP or MGP " Thumbnail/Movie Gallery Posting. Gallery posting is when you
put together an html page with several thumbnails or movie clips that open
up to larger photos or larger movie clip. You upload those pages to your hosting account.

to your gallery page. Every time your gallery page is loaded and your larger files viewed,
its cost you money in bandwidth transfer. Therefore, you want
