Thanks PH but Tom's win!
Hila, I had added mine with a link on the left of this page in the Photo box that said "Add Fan Photos" and then I just checked off the ones from my profile album that I wanted to share. Hmm, I just looked and don't see that dohickey to click on now so let me poke around a bit, will let you know if I figure it out. Wall posting totally works too but the other way is one fell swoop.

Thanks.
