How to insert your slideshow:
Go to Picasa Web Albums (http://picasaweb.google.com/home), and log in with the Google account that owns (or you want to own) the album.
Go to Picasa Web Albums (http://picasaweb.google.com/home), and log in with the Google account that owns (or you want to own) the album.
- Check that you have already uploaded the album you want from your PC to Picasa-web-albums.
(and if you haven't, go back to Picasa and upload it now) - Choose an album by clicking on it.
The album view opens, showing you a thumbnail of all the photos in it on the left of the screen. On the right of the screen, there is a sidebar of useful tools. - Under the Edit drop-down (the one in the album, not the edit menu in the browser), check that Visibility is set to either "Anyone with the Link" or "Public on the web"
- Click on "Link to this Album" (currently it's in a small font, 3/4 of the way down the right-hand sidebar - this may change if Picasa changes its interface)
- Click on "Embed Slideshow" (currently this shows up underneath "Link ... " - and only AFTER you've clicked link...)
This opens a new dialog box, over the top of your current browser window.
- Fill in the details you want
(slideshow size, whether or not to show captions and to autoplay the slides, etc) - Copy the HTML from the box at the bottom of the left hand-side (the one labelled "Copy and paste ..."
- Go to Blogger and log in with a Google account that has rights to edit the the blog - note that this doesn't need to be the same account that owns the Picasa album.
- You can put the code that you copied into your blog in the same way you would adding any other 3rd party HTML to it.
