Adding photos to your Google Site using Picasa Web

On your Google Site where you have a photo gallery or photo album tab,  this is how you add a photo album that will look like these on my google site.  Some people do have trouble viewing these on an iPad or iPhone.  If anyone knows the fix for this please let me know.  They are viewable on computers and android devices.

Go to www.picasaweb.google.com .  If you are logged in with your google account, Picasa will open into your account.  You now need to make an album.  Choose 'upload photos' and create an album.  It is important to have the album set to share/view publicly.

Always look for a pencil to open the editing screen.






Select 'public' to make sure your students and parents can view the pictures.

Once the album is created, go back to your Google Site Photo Album page.  Click on the pencil to edit the page.  When you are in the typeable work area, give your photo album a title and then click 'insert' and go through the menu options to Google+ > Photo Album.  (this is where the magic begins!)

Your picasa web albums will show up and you just have to select which one you want and it will drop into your google site page.

Once your album is on your page you can edit the size and layout by looking for this toolbar below the album.  You must still be in the edit mode on your page.  Once you've clicked 'save' the album shows up.  To edit it you have to go back to the edit mode of the page by clicking the pencil.

Here are your options for your photo album size and layout. I have my new albums at extra-extra large and then change my old album to medium.

Good luck!  Have fun!  Shout out if you have any troubles or ask a buddy!
