With Website Builder, you can create photo badges using HTML or Flash® and share them. A photo badge is a single photo or group of photos that you can share with other websites, such as your blog, Facebook®, or MySpace®.
You can create a photo badge from public photos on your website or gallery, and save the badges you create. You also can customize the badge's layout, color and other features.
Note: Photo badges use the first photos 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 Gallery Items.
