i've done quite a few of these.
i'd recommend using javascript ("the web developers friend").
all you need to do is have a function that draws out your gallery, and accepts two arguments - the number of images in the gallery, and the path to the gallery.
this function is written in an external js file, and included on every page that you want a gallery to be displayed. this way, you only have to write it once!
say you have a folder called "christmas" whihc has 27 images. on your christmas.html page you call the function:
drawGallery("christmas",27)
in your external js file, you have your function which says something like:
function drawGallery(path,num){
for(i=0;i<num;i++){
document.write('');
}}
and volia, this writes out the 27 images in the folder /images/christmas/.
obviously you can change it around so that it writes it out in a table, has a link to open the image up, etc, etc. its simple, and you only need to touch it once.
