Blog: How to embed Slide-shows in a Blog

  • go to your gmail account and log in, click Photos at the top. It will take you to your Picasa photo albums. (If you need help before getting to this step, click here: How to get photos from your camera onto the computer (Windows))
  • If you want to embed an entire Picasa album into your blog as a slide-show, scroll down to the album you want and double-click it. You are now looking at everything in the album.
  • In the left sidebar, click Embed Slideshow.
  • A box pops up that says "Create a portable slideshow for your website, blog, Myspace, etc."

    Slideshow options:

    Select your slideshow size: Medium is a bit small, 400px is nice and big. A good size for a blog, and Small is what you would use in a sidebar.

    Show captions (if you click this box, any captions you have added to the photos will show up in the slide-show.)
    Autoplay
    HTML Links (for MySpace) ignore this.

    Embed slideshow:

    In your blog's editing section, click the tab that says Edit HTML, then copy and paste the code that appears inside the yellow box in Picasa into your website or blog. Once you publish your post, the slide-show will appear, even though you won't see it while you're editing.
    Slideshow preview appears on the right:
