Facebook Methods description: photos.createAlbum
Creates and returns a new album owned by the current session user. See photo uploads for a description of the upload workflow. The only storable values returned from this call are aid and owner.
Parameters
| string | api_key | The application key associated with the calling application. |
| string | session_key | The session key of the logged in user. |

| string | sig | An MD5 hash of the current request and your secret key, as described in the authentication guide. |
| string | v | This must be set to 1.0 to use this version of the API. |
| string | format | Optional - desired response format. Either “XML” (default) or “JSON”. |
| string | callback | Optional - wrap the response inside a function call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain javascript requests using the <script> tag, sometimes known as “JSONP“. This works with both XML and JSON. |
| string | name | The album name. |
| string | location | Optional - The album location. |
| string | description | Optional - The album description. |
