A small example
Example: import 50 galleries from nubiles.net

Become a nubiles.net affiliate
If you are not yet a nubiles.net affiliate then you first have to become one. You can find instructions on the following page:
http://www.nubiles.net/webmasters/

Get the CSV file with galleries and descriptions
You know have to login and get the CSV file that contains the gallery urls, descriptions and other information:

1. Login.
2. Click 'Hosted galleries'.
3. Click 'Display all exclusive girls galleries (copy/paste friendly)'.
4. Choose the options you want, lets only take the picture galleries.
   
5. Copy about 50 lines from the big text field.

Import the CSV in Gallery2Blog
Now we need to import the 50 lines of CSV file to Gallery2Blog. This is quite simple:

1. Login.
2. Click 'Create a new RSS feed'.
3. Enter a name.
   
4. Paste the 50 lines in the big field labelled 'Gallery import file (CSV or other formatted text)'.
5. Enter | as separator.
6. Enter your affiliate code of nubiles.net. (mine is 972619, yours is different)
7. Click Preview button.
8. As you might have seen the CSV of nubiles.net only contains a description and a gallery url and some useless information. We are missing the name of the gallery. Don't worry, gallery2blog can add a extra column to the CSV for you:
   1. Enter 'Nubiles [num]' in the "Value for new column" field.
      
   2. This field is described in the help sidebar as followed: "Enter here the value you wish to have in the new column. You can separate the values with a comma (=,) then the system will randomly pick a value and put it in the new column. You can use the tag [num], this tag will be replaced by the number of the line.".
   3. Click the "Add a column" button.
   4. A extra column is added!
   
   
9. Now we have a extra column which contains a generated gallery name.
10. The field 'Which column contains the name of the gallery?' likely contains the wrong column number, it should contain the column number of the name column, in my case that is 5. (you can see which value a column contains in the table with 4 rows above the 'Which column contains the ..' fields.
11. Select "I confirm that the above table is correct.".
12. Press the "Next step" button.
    
13. Click the "Centered" link, for a nice 'everything in the center' blog posts.
14. Click Preview button.
15. Make sure the 4 blog posts in "Blog Post Preview" section look alright.
16. Select "I confirm that the above blog post is correct.".
    
17. Click the "Save all" button and wait a while.
18. Finished!

What is next?
If you don't know what to do next then you should read the "Gallery2Blog, converting (free hosted) galleries to fulltext blog posts" tutorial.

I hope that was useful
