Wow, what a horrible web page. Gray text on black.The section headers
are gray text on darker gray. Links are dark blue (not underlined) on
black. Some " highlighted" text is dark red on black. The only thing
that is readable is the paypal ad. :)

At first it seemed attractive, because it does appear to be simple.
But the produced "clean" code a) uses frames, and b) uses javascript.
Lots of people have javascript turned off, so they won't be able to
view the albums.

JAlbum might not be quite as simple to use, but it's not *hard* to
use, and it has lots of flexibility. I don't think I'm switching yet.
