Add a Picasa Web Albums Slideshow to Your Site
API, Picasa May 17th, 2007 - By HaochiNow you can easily add a Picasa Web Albums slideshow to your web site by copy & pasting the code from the Embed Slideshow option on your Albums pages. There aren’t much configuration and customization you can do except for the size of the photos and whether to display caption as default.
If you want to have more control over how to display the photos in a slide show, you will need to use Google AJAX API’s new function, Slide Show Control. The new function “allows you to easily embed a slide show of images from PhotoBucket, Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, or any feed that uses the Media RSS extensions.”
Cheers! (I will still write my own script because I think that the API is not good enough…)

What do you think is lacking in the API?

Maybe you can do a little bit more customization with the API, but there aren’t really much more than the Flash-based one used in Picasa Web Albums.

I have two picasa albums, in one of them i don’t have the link Embedded slideshow. I’m very puzzled about that, can’t find the reason
