name. Each image will show its name, caption, and when it was added to the album. The RSS reader will automatically receive new images as
they are added to the album, and will delete them as they are removed. Album RSS feeds can be bookmarked in any RSS reader, including
browsers, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Google gadgets, and digital photo frames.
