Please help me post from Picasa
Posted by Compressorman on Monday, August 20, 2012 6:58 PM

Call me a dummy but I cant seem to figure out how to link my pics here from picasa. I have searched the forum and seen that others have figured it out but havent been detailed enough in their explanation for me to catch on. When I try I get this...

[View:https://picasaweb.google.com/111310178979348895351/1#5775232401989609042:600:0]

This is just copied and pasted from the address bar...obviously wrong.

Help,

Chris

This is how I have mine setup.   Go to My Photos and select one of your albums. On the top right you should see this...

Click on (edit)... next you will see this...

On the bottom you have Visibility.  Click on the down arrow and select "Limited.  anyone with a link" Click on save changes

Now... You are are ready to start linking photos...

select a photo of your choice, on the right hand side you should see this...

Click on "Link to this photo" on the bottom right.  You should see this...

so now...

1. check "Image only (no link)

2. Select size "Original size is fine"  (you can play with this to find the right size you want)  I used Medium

3. copy the "Embed image" contents. That is what you use to embed pictures.

Click on the Insert Image icon in FSM forums (under use rich format) and paste the URL you copied in step 3.

Voila!!!

You are very welcome.

Yeah well I had no idea how much detail you needed.  I could have just posted this directly from picasaweb.   

Follow these steps to embed a Picasa Web Albums image in your site.

  1. On the My Photos page, click your album.
  2. Click the photo you'd like to embed.
  3. Click Link to this Photo on the right sidebar.
  4. Set the following preferences:
    • Select your preferred image size.
    • Select 'Hide album link' to remove a link to the containing album, which is displayed by default with the image.
    • Select 'Image only (no link)' to get the image URL by itself, with no link back to Picasa Web Albums.
  5. Copy the HTML (Ctrl-C) in the 'Embed image' field on the right-hand side.
  6. Paste the HTML (Ctrl-V) in the source code for your site.
Note: These tools will only use for albums with visibilities set to be 'Public' or 'Limited, anyone with the link."

You use Paint to mark up your printscreen image or another tool?
