This page allows registered aPix users access to manage their albums. The user must be logged in and be the personal home page owner (PHP) to see and interact with this page.

This page displays when an existing album is selected to be edited by the personal home page (PHP) owner. To see this page the user must be logged in, the owner of the PHP and user generated content (UGC), and have an album created. All pics in an album are aliases only. The originals are kept in the gallery. So deleting a pic from the album will not remove it from the gallery. Also one pic may be added to multiple albums using the same opic in the DB. See iTunes or iPhoto as example of the library to "playlist" interaction.

Clicking the button will take the user to the new album creation screen.

Albums Supporting Controls
There is a set of controls that will be available to the user to help them manage their blogs.

1. Sorting - albums may be sorted using the column links at the top of the albums list. Sorting cannot be stacked so there is no boolean functions like seeing the oldest blogs with the most comments first, sorting works on the whole pool of blogs not just the blogs displayed on the current page. The sort is defaulted to Date Posted with the newest items first descending to oldest date.
   1. Name & Description - sorts alphabetically - click once sorts topics A-Z, click again without selecting another sort link then the sort goes from Z-A
   2. Pics - sorts most pics in an album first, select again and least amount of pics in an album will be displayed first
   3. Status - click once and all posted albums display first, click again and all drafts display first
   4. Date Posted - If this is the first sort link to be selected after page load then the order switches from newest to oldest to oldest to newest. Select the link again and the order goes back to newest to oldest.
      1. Sort Icon - Since this column is the default column for sorting it also has a sorting indicator icon at the top of the column. The order is newest to oldest but if the column is selected again the sort would be oldest to newest and the icon would be flipped to indicate the change. If a different cloumn is selected then that column would receive the icon while being removed from its current column
   5. Rating - click once to view 5star ratings first descending to 0 stars, click again to reverse order
   6. Comments - click once and all topics with new comments are shown at the top first, cklick again and the most commented topics are listed first
   7. Views - displays the most viewed blogs first, click again to view least viewed blogs first
