Embed Picasa Slideshow On Wordpress Blog

Embed Picasa Slideshow On WordPress Blog

21 March, 2009 - 07:00 AM - 7 Comments

I finally found a way to embed a Google Picasa Web Album slideshow inside a blog post, there was no wordpress plug-in that would do it automatically, but if you go to the Google Picasa WebAlbums site, and click on “Link to this Album” then you will see an “Embed Slideshow” option. Selecting this and you can choose the width of your slideshow and whether it is automatic, include captions…etc.

Here are the exact steps:

On the My Photos page, click your album.
Click Link to this album on the right-hand side.
Click Embed Slideshow.
Choose your slideshow settings, such as image size, captions, and autoplay.
Once you’ve chosen your settings, copy the resulting HTML code (Ctrl-C).
Paste the HTML in the source code for your site (Ctrl-V).

Here is a recent photo album of when I went to the Phoenix Zoo on Monday March 16th:

Thank you for sharing. This is great!

Would you know a way to place a watermark on the pictures that would not be too difficult? Or too Pricey?

I got a couple thousand pics I've taken with the idea of posting them on the web, I've been watermarking a few with Gimp2 but I've lost the recipe or Gimp2 was updated, I don't know, I cant watermark the way I did before. Why not? It's a mistery.

You've got a nice album up there,

Cheers,

Mario

Cut paste the code inside the "HTML" tab of your post, should work, I will create a post with training video (how about that?) stay tuned, I will post it tomorrow.

I tried embedding the slideshow, just like you said, and it didn't work. The code just disappeared when I clicked publish!

Look-- http://mattsmakingamovie.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/...

Am I missing a step?

You must be, I embedded my 2nd slideshow just fine yesterday: http://www.justingermino.com/2009/04/pictures-from... Are you on the HTML section when you copy paste? Email me what you are trying to embed, it may be the blog theme CSS is stripping it possibly? contactme@dragonblogger.com is the email.

Yay. At last you already found one.

I will try this on my blog and post our swimming pictures yesterday.

Thanks for sharing.

Btw, I just noticed when I'm done in commenting, is there a way to be back on your homepage? I still need to use the back button or manually encode again your blog address.

Just my observation, I hope you don't mind.
