Besides all the social activities, Facebook offers good opportunities to present your portfolios and recent projects to your soft network, something you should definitely do! It's very easy to post your Viewbook albums to Facebook (and now also Twitter and LinkedIn!), it's done in a few clicks.
Step 1. Style your album for embed
Create and style your album for optimum display as widget. Nice is just the options bar, with 'auto play', 'full screen' and 'share' enabled. To display your images as big as possible, choose ' disable 'frame margin' in advanced settings.
You might want to put a title or an end image in with your website url, or your name or logo.
If you've entered an Album 'title' and 'description' under the 'Settings' button they will become visible as title and description on your Facebook stream.
Step 2. Share your album on Facebook (Twitter and LinkedIn)
Click 'Share' in the main toolbar and click 'post to...'
A new window appears, select the services you want to activate. After authentication it embeds your widget in your Facebook (Twitter or LinkedIn) stream.

Sharing a whole album in facebook works fine. But what if I add a new image in my album and I want to share just that single image. I don't want to share the whole album again. People have seen all the other images. Is there a way to do that?
Yes, take a look at our new Export function: http://support.viewbook.com/entries/487164-how-do-i-publish-images-...
Ok, maybe I didn't put my question right. I already read the article about sharing. What I meant was if it is possible to share just one (or few images, not the whole album) WITHOUT creating an album within your Facebook profile. I just want my new image to be posted on my wall and if possible to redirect to my website.
Once you export photos to Facebook, you can open them in your Facebook account and use the 'Share' option inside Facebook to post any photo on your Wall!
You can also select ONE or more images in your Album. Then hit the Share button and ONLY those images will be exported. Again see

I just don't like having my photographs in albums in Facebook due to some of the company's policies and the fact that they are not protected in any way there.
Then you have to create a new Album with your latest image(s). And publish that Album.
sharing with the facebook button AND the linkedin button doesnt appear to work- it just gets stuck on waiting
I've entered an Album 'title' and 'description' under the 'Settings' button already but they do not become visible as title and description on my Facebook stream. What can I do about it?
Facebook is not updating content when it's changed.
HI Alrik, thanks for useful information. Now i am sharing my albums. In one of my account i just want to share only few images, i read the above suggestions by Rien, but still not getting it done.
Ok I figure it out how to share only few images. It really took me long to do it. Any one like to know, i am here to help you. Once again thanks Alrik for great info.
