if I had an award to give you would soon receive one. I don't have images
showing but I do have text on the page showing all 3 albums of mine.. 2
being public and 1 private. Now I can work on redoing the part that shows
the images because im getting some errors.. probably because I was
requesting a url and then pulling data from it. Should be able to figure it
out and if anyone else wants to accomplish this I can post the entire code.
thanks a bunch!
