There’s quite a few photo galleries out there but this is one some folks might not know about or just forgot. It’s Google’s Picassa Web Albums. You can upload your photos to a Picassa Web Album and share with everyone on your blog or website.
If you have a Google account you can create a Picassa Web Album, make sure it is shared for public viewing, and upload some photos. Once you’re satisfied with the gallery, click on Embed Slideshow in the left-hand column where you’re viewing the images you uploaded and a pop-up screen will show the code you need to copy and paste in your blog or website.
Here’s an image of the pop-up Embed Slideshow window.
As you can see, there a some options provided for you to customize your web album. The yellow area is where you copy the code and paste into a website where your HTML code would go or the HTML or Code view in your blogging system.
Here are the results.
I ran across this while I was searching all the different gallery software out there since I’m working on the art gallery and blog WordPress theme.I won’t be using the Picasa Web Album for that purpose since there are specific things the artist wants for the gallery but I thought this was definitely worth sharing for the folks who haven’t seen it yet or just plan forgot about it.
