Create New Album
This page lets you create a new Photo Album by asking you 7 simple questions. You have to enter Photo Album Caption, Photo Album Name. The only difference between Caption and Name is that, Caption is what your users are going to see for that particular Album, Name is used to uniquely identify that Album. You will notice that as you enter your Photo Album caption the Name field is generated automatically for you, just to reduce some work and confusion at your end.

You can also allow or restrict your users to comment on your photo album. Commenting on an Album does not require your Website users to register an account, any anonymous user can simply write comments for your album.

You may also Password protect an album, in this case you have a select a password that you might want to email to your family or friends.

If you wish, you can write description for that particular album for your users to read.

You also get an option to choose your thumbnail size. Thumbnail pictures are generated automatically by the system based on the size that you select here. Please note that once you set a thumbnail size on this page, you won't be able to modify it later. If you want to change your thumbnail size in future for that parictular item, you might have to delete and recreate your album, so please be careful while choosing the size (We recommend MEDIUM size, it looks good - trust me)

You can also set a date for that album. By default today's date is selected, but you can change it to any other date.

Once you are done, hit "CREATE ALBUM" button to create your new Photo Album!
