How to share your photos on the new site

Steve Harper — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 03:28:11 +0000

Todays entry will tell you how to add new photos to my website. I am utilizing a new service from google called "Picasa Web Albums". This service provides two things: Picasa: A windows application that is great for organizing your hundreds of photos, quickly and easily Web Folders: The internet companion to Picasa which lets you store your photos online for everyone to see. I have integrated this blog to be able to very easily pull photos out of picasa web folders. You can see this on the right hand side of the blog - those pictures came from Picasa and if you click on any of them, you will be taken to a web folder showing lots more photos. Also, any images embedded in my posts are coming from picasa - again, I wrote code to integrate this and make my life easy!
