I had asked this similar question Aries, back on 11/23/08 and no one responded.

Here it is:
What is the difference between the photo gallery under control panel, and making your photo album "public"? If you make it public, does that mean it will appear in the photo gallery automatically, as well as being visible to anyone who views your profile (even a guest)??? I couldn't find this under FAQ.
Or do you have to upload to the photo gallery separately? (I'm guessing this is the case)
Also, the "more info" link doesn't seem to work under FAQ on finding out how to use your album to enhance your profile....

From reading this thread, I'm guessing you have to upload pictures to the "photo gallery" separately, and just making your photos "public" in your profile won't automatically make them visible in the gallery. If so, that's a hassle.
The reason I wondered is because if you leave a comment on a picture, it tells you that it may be visible in other locations, but it doesn't say WHAT location....
I know what you mean, Aries. I'd like to know number of views too, and unless someone leaves a comment, you don't know who viewed the pics.
