I've been naming my sub albums by the date I put the post on Pet Talk. that way I know how old they are, if I want to delete the sub album and have the Pet Talk link go blank. (I think it gives that box with the little red "x" in the top corner.)
When you are setting up photos, first create the sub album. Then, MAKE SURE YOU MOVE INTO THAT sub album before you start uploading your photos.
Now that you have lots of linked photos in General - hey, I did THAT, too! - I jsut leave that and don't use General anymore. I am always working in a sub album. I didn't move them, so I didn't disturb the links.
Good luck!
