First of all, have you built your Shutterfly Share site yet? If not, get on it, because it’s easy to set up, incredibly useful, and looks sharp and professional with very little effort.

Plus it has all sorts of fun features like calendars, photo uploads, blogs, forums, polls, rosters, task lists, and more. So you can use it as your own site, a family site, a team site, school site, wedding site, anything really.

Second, once you’ve created your fabulous Share site, did you know you can use it to share your favorite photo books (yours included of course)? Here’s how.
