Hey again Mike. That worked great, thanks. I don't suppose there is a way
to get a view count for an album? Either a count of how many times the
album is viewed / requested or a total count of the views for each photo in
an album. I would like to be able to highlight the most popular albums /
photos.
On a related note, is there a way to get all of the "full" PhotoEntry
objects for an album? Or do I need to request them one by one as in your
example below?
Thanks so much for any advice.
--Brian.
