Inserting a Picasa Web Slideshow into a blog post

Here are instructions on how to insert a Picasa Web album into a blog post.

Go to Picasa Web
Click on the 'My Photos' tab

Choose the desired album, making sure that permissions are public.
You can change this where it says 'edit'.

Next click on 'Link to this album'

Next click on 'Embed Slideshow'

A pop up window will open.  On this window you choose the size of slideshow you want.  'Large' is easier to see and fits nicely in most blog templates.  Once you've chosen your settings you click on the box with the code in it.  Copy this code.

Then go back to your blog post.  Click on the 'HTML' button.  This will take you into the coding section - don't fear, it's not that scary in there - :D
Simply paste the code that you just copied right in this section.  Make sure it's after whatever you may have been typing in your blog.  After you've pasted it, click back on the 'Compose' button.

Save / preview / publish your post and you should see your slideshow.

Good luck and have fun trying something new!
