facebook help plz.......

[rushi p]

i am new to facebook and need some help. i created a new album and uploaded some photos. now when i click on the home btton at the top right i see the notice of where it says i uploadd new pics to such and such album, this is where it shows me an updated list on what my freinds recent activity has been. But when i click on photos on the left under apps. i only see pictures of me added by others, not the ones i uploaded. whay is that? am i doing something wrong?? how will others see my uploaded pics after the notification is gone? help please. and also why is it that when i try to change my default profile pic it wont let me choose from any of my new uploaded albums? it says i must upload one. cant i pic from one of those albums? help please. i was told facebook was easier to use than myspace and better, but i am having a hard ime adjusting.
