The easiest way (and by far the most common method) is to take your Interface folder and zip it up. That advantage to this method is that it is quick and downloaders can easily see what is inside. I use this method myself.

- First I copy my Interface folder to my Desktop, and delete the mods I do not want to include.
-Then I copy my WTF folder (for the layout) to my Desktop, rename the account folder (it uses your login name) and the character folder (to remove any personal info).
- Now both the Interface and WTF folder are dropped into a folder that is named after the package. I usually include a read me txt file as well.
- Finally I just zip it up and upload.

You can use some zip programs to create a self extracting zip file. If you want to get more advanced there are some shareware programs that will create an installer. However you more likely to get people to download if you just use a simple zip file as most people are wary of exe files.
