Get updated in the wonderful world of jAlbum

In the new website layout we have merged your community profile and album hosting pages into a single customizable album home page. One page to rule them all. The new customizable homepage is the crown jewel in our new site release. You are now able to display more information about yourself and your photography:

- Change the main message welcoming your visitors. The default is "Yourname's albums". Change it to something more fun.
- Show (or hide) your e-mail address so people can get in touch with you. All e-mail addresses are protected from being visible to spam bots.
- Write an introduction about yourself, your photography and the equipment (Gear) you're using.
- Display where you're from. City and Country.
- Put a link to your home page, Facebook or Twitter page.

We hope this will provide a flexible way for you to display your photography in a personal way and to present you as a photographer in more detail.

Now the exciting part. We have released a series of templates for you to use to style your new homepage! You can easily switch themes from your Settings page, they will instantly change the look and feel of your page. Some themes are free, premium or power users have lots of themes to choose from and ...drum roll... you can make your own theme! For now you can control colors of different parts of your page, but we're soon adding the ability to upload your own backgrounds.

Now go check out your new customizable homepage!

We added that option a couple of weeks after the initial release of the new site. That's probably why you didn't see it in the first place. Stay tuned!

I can't believe how blind I've been, but regardless, I'll wait for the enhanced options.
Thanks Carl

Hi Mike, yes you can find a "Sort albums" button below your album thumbs. So far you can only order them by latest updated, created and alphabetically. We are working on adding manual drag and drop ordering.

Is there any way to change the order of appearance of separate albums on my homepage?
Best regards

@141R45: it looks like the album wasn't built properly. Does it look ok on your computer before publishing?

Hi devid, you can enter the address (url) to the image. I have done that for you now. I'll DM you regarding the other question, since I'm not sure what you mean.

@Mike de Lange: Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it. We're working on the "Own backgrounds" functions and hope to get it out within a couple of weeks. We're also planning to add more customization options, but we have to get the basics right first. So far, we've received tremendous feedback, it seems like we've done something good :) Thanks again.

Congratulations with a successful (re)launch. Everything appears to be working very well so far. Well done.
I'm now looking forward to the promised "own backgrounds" functions, but was hoping that there would be more options in basic homepage design than the standard template with just different colour schemes and (dare I say) awful rounded box corners. Will some more design options be coming? Also, it would be great if we can have some basic text editing choices like different fonts, bold, italic, underlines, justification etc. If I'm missing these functions, I'd be glad if you can correct my errant ways.
Best regards, and again, well done!
