Embedding Picasa Web Albums Photos on Your Site
Google December 11th, 2006 - By Haochi
One of the disadvantage of Picasa Web Albums over other photo sharing sites is that Google won’t let you embed photos on other sites. Google has gotten over this issue - now you can share your photos on your site/blog with your family and friends without the hassle of linking them to your Picasa Web Albums page.
The easiest way to embed photos from PWA on your site is go to the photo’s page and click on “Embed in Blog/MySpace” at the sidebar, copy and paste the HTML code to your site.
You can also manually adjust the photo size. By right-clicking on the photo, copy the image location(should be something like http://lh#.google.com/image/name/a1/b2/c3/…jpg), and edit the imgmax parameter. It could be(width in pixels) 72, 144, 200, 288, 320, 400, 512, 576, 640, 720, 800, 912, 1024, 1152, 1280, 1440 and 1600, depends on the photo’s size. Zero(0) or no imgmax parameter returns the original size photo.

(*) the structure of the phrases change, not the story.

You can now use full API tools from PicasaWeb to integrate your albums into any site you like.
With a little bit of coding, you can make really nice gallery presentations. I made one at my AlmostSwiss.ch website, with lots of galleries of Switzerland, and other travel places.
This makes PicasaWeb much more exiting that Flickr…
