Posting Photo pages to external weekly contest sites like Photo Friday etc

Hi

I have been lurking around for a while and am loving Smugmug. One thing that baffles me is that there is no way to post a link to a photo page (complete with the theme, the thumbnails in the filmstrip mode, comment, photorank etct etc) to external sites (say like Photo Friday etc)

The Share photo (forums / blogs etc) does not work for this purpose, since this links directly to the photograph and not a page where people can come and comment etc

I use the Filmstrip mode as my default. Is there any way of making this happen

Hi Murali, indeed, for Photo Friday, you need to share a link like this:

Thanks for that Andy
So that means I need to use the SmugMug style. right ?
I really love the Filmstrip, looks and works real cool

Actually, Filmstrip, while nice, is pretty limiting - can't get to lightbox. I prefer leaving viewer's choice open. Let 'em have it their way

Cool, another tip to throw into my bag of tricks!
