Once you decide on which skin in JAlbum you want to use, you will generate
your album into a folder *outside* of FP (outside of your web). You will
probably end up generating the album several (or more
times until you
are happy with how it looks/works. When you're happy you will IMPORT the
entire folder INTO your FP web (from within FP).
Then create a link to the index page of the album folder from one of your
pages.
