Individuals invented the internet yet now corporations claim they own own it – they claim it’s their private property. If that’s true then you don’t have free speech online. I disagree – I think free speech in "free speech zones" isn’t free: it’s *dependent* on having a public place to be heard – meaning public property like the internet.

If you don’t know about JAlbum and you want to post a photo album or gallery online , it’s time to get with it. My friend Mot introduced me to this very easy to use and customizable photo album which I personally use for my own photo gallery . You can create a photo album in as little as 3 steps!

I orginally planned on using Coppermine or Gallery for my web albums but decided that I didn’t need all the bells and whistles and could go with software that does exactly what I want, create ablums for friends and family to view. If I haven’t mentioned this yet, IT IS FREE to download .

With over 7 million photo albums published and the software being started every 5 seconds, it is no wonder why JAlbum is a great free option for creating photo albums. JAlbum doesn’t just offer software, they now provide free <–I said it again… free album hosting that gives you 30MB of space if you don’t have web hosting capabilities.

You can easily change the style and behavior of your album by downloading "skins" or plug-ins that are primarily created by the users in the JAlbum community. I am currently using a very popular skin named FotoPlayer . You can check one of the FotoPlayer demos by clicking on the image below.

More experienced users will really enjoy the built in FTP support along with its multi-platform compatibility.

Bottom line is, if you are looking for a user friendly album creator that is customizable, then JAlbum offers some really great features for all experience levels.
