I'm not sure I understand where your problem is. Selectionning pictures? Or
exporting a selection to the web? And how do you expect to organize / make
them browsable on the web? Any gallery software?

Select the whole first folder (for example, click on the album title bar
will do), then Ctrl-Alt + any number to affect a color.
Then select the next folder, and affect the same color tag.
When you're done, use the right column filter to select all the pictures
having the same color tag.
