How do I add a custom web part to the [sitename]
Gallery? I am trying to create several pages from one
area template that contains this web part but am getting
an error. I suspect it is because the web part is not
part of a gallery and therefor not available throughout
the current site. In order for me to include the web
part on each page I have to import it on every page. I
want to avoid this and use a template instead.

Adding a Web Part Package
To use the Stsadm.exe command to deploy a Web Part package on a server
computer running Windows SharePoint Services, open a command prompt, and then
type the following command:

stsadm.exe -o addwppack
-filename Web_Part_Pack_name
[-url URL]
[-globalinstall]
[-force]

If you want to install a Web Part package on a virtual server when the Web
Part package is already installed on another virtual server on the same
computer, use the following command:

stsadm.exe -o addwppack
-name Web_Part_Pack_name
[-url URL]
[-globalinstall]
[-force]


"

us the [-globalinstall] parameter can add it globvally.
