Ryan, This helps quite a bit. I'm sorry for not getting back earlier, but I've been working on other features. I've decided to go with the Zend framework because I'm going to use it for calendar integration as well. You mention something about session tokens - ideally I do not want to hardcode my username/password into the file. What is the best way to get authorized to view unlisted albums yet not have to log in (i.e. not all users have google accounts)?
