    My suggestion is this:
    When Generating the Web Album after the color scheme page give a template page option. It would ask you if you want to use a template.

    If you choose use dreamweaver template the following options would appear on the next page.
    Template for Gallery > Browse...
    Template for Photo Page > Browse... or same as Gallery.

    Once you specify the templates, the next page would pop up.
    Associate regions for Gallery elements. Associate regions for Photo Page elements.
    The program should detect the regions in the DWT files and show a drop down box asking where to drop the following code segments.
    Document Title
    Document Head
    Document Body

    Basically I want to be able to have the photo and galley pages input code into regions I specify in a DWT file and then save it as HTML. It gets kind of annoying having to apply the template manually to 80 some pages one by one.
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->/*Page Title*/<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->/*Style*/<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="body" -->/*The Album or Photo Page*/<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->

    Another form of template to consider is a HTML template that uses ID tags.
    The code for the main galley would be placed within a div tag specified by the user such as the following.
    <div ID="gallery">/*The Album or Photo Page*/</div>

    The head information would append itself at the end of the code within the head tags.
    The title information would overwrite the data within the title tage.

    Customizable templates is planned for an upcoming version, although I'm not sure in what capacity yet.
