Albums Page

This page shows the albums you have published either to jAlbum.net or 'attached' to your jAlbum account from an external website. Externally hosted albums need to be attached to your account for certain features to work, widgets for example. You can Add, Edit certain settings and Share your albums on this page.

Create new album

This will take you to the online version of jAlbum, handy if you are using a mobile device but want to quickly upload a few images.

Add external album

Opens up a dialogue so you can navigate to your album that is not hosted on jAlbum.net. This allows jAlbum to provide additional functionality such as including widgets. You need to enter the full path to the website and give the album a title, you can also give it an optional description. Once the album path has been entered you can choose an image from the album to act as the thumbnail for it. Once you are happy with everything just click on the tick to add the album.

Share on blog

This will help you promote your albums on blog sites by adding a 'badge' featuring thumbnails from your albums. You can chose the style of the badge, give it a title and, under the advanced options set the width of the badge and the number of albums to include. Once you have made all your choices just click on one of the icons to get the code needed to paste into your blog.
