What are personal web pages for photo sharing?

itasveer lets you create a personal web page for sharing your photos. This means that you can specify a unique web address for your 'Shared Page' which can be accessed like any other website. This would be of the form 'www.itasveer.com/shared/yourpage' (Example) .
All 'Shared Page' web addresses at itasveer start with www.itasveer.com/shared/. You must specify a unique name for your shared page. So, for example, if you enter 'demo' in your shared page settings, your shared page web address will be 'www.itasveer.com/shared/demo'.
