In Photo Album, you can share your pictures on other Web sites by creating HTML or Flash photo badges of a single photo or multiple photos. For your photo badge, select from public photos that you tagged with a specific value or photos from any of your public galleries. Depending on the type of badge you create, you can also specify badge details, such as the layout, color, and number of photos to display on the badge.

After you create the badge, we provide the HTML code to copy and paste into the Web pages where you want the badge to display. For more information about creating a photo badge for an individual photo, see Creating HTML Photo Badges of Individual Photos. For more information about creating a Flash photo badge, see Creating Flash Photo Badges.

NOTE: Photo badges use the first photo(s) in your gallery. You can change the photos that display in your badge by reorganizing the order in which they display in your gallery. For more information, see Organizing Photos in Photo Galleries.

You can save badges and display the badge code or view badge details, such as the date saved, at any time. To view your saved badges, see Viewing Your Saved Badges.
