Get updated in the wonderful world of jAlbum

I just wanted to answer a question we get quite frequently right now. "Can I use widgets on my album even if it is not hosted on Jalbum?"

Answer: yes you can.

Widgets work on any album you create no matter where you put it. The only requirement is that you have to sign in when you use Jalbum software. The signing in part is necessary to verify your ownership of your album.

We see a great growth in the use of the commenting widget since we modified it to allow non-jalbum users to comment on albums. That is exciting! It has never been easier to see which photos people like to watch. We hope you are as thrilled as we are, so invite your friends and family and receive all the praise you deserve.

@karhibou: No, you just need to be signed in to the software when making and publishing your album to your site. What happens (automatically) is that a link (thumbnail) to your album is added to your profile page here on jalbum.net. That's where you add widgets to your album, even if it's hosted on your site. Hope that makes sense. Try the steps provided by kristoffer and you'll see how it works.

So, if I understand, I have to publish to my personnal hosting but also to jalbum.net?

1. When you start Jalbum make sure that you sign in.
2. Make your album.
3. Publish your album (to your hosting).
4. Go to your albums page on jalbum.net and click "Manage widgets" next to your album.

"So basically, you can host your album anywhere and still use widgets, but there needs to be a link to your album on your jalbum.net albums page (http://jalbum.net/users/karhibou/). "

When you start Jalbum make sure that you sign in (and stay signed in while you make and publish your album). This will make sure that the necessary Widget code is inserted into your album when you make it and this will also make sure that a link to your published album is being added to your list of albums on the jalbum.net community site. So basically, you can host your album anywhere and still use widgets, but there needs to be a link to your album on your jalbum.net albums page (http://jalbum.net/users/karhibou/).
