Great idea. The only problem is the Elgg interface only lets us add links to the side
menu system. We'd have to either work around the menu system or override core views.

I just noticed some inconsistencies (i think) on the latest svn. If you click on these links:

All site photo albums
Most viewed images
Most recent images
Recently viewed images

The top of the sidebar (user icon, bookmark this, etc.... ) changes several times. icon, no 
icon. Subscribe to feed? might be more than a missing link

Also same inconsistencies plus, if you are in Your ph.. or Friends ph... you have the 
create new, but not on the other two options (your most...., etc). create, visible all the 
time?

Create new album
Your photo albums
Friends' photo albums
Your most viewed images
Your most recent images

Hope these reports help.
