Picasa detail I found



Some details about Picasa.
Your Picasa Web Albums account is free and comes with 250 MB of storage space -- enough room to store about 1000 photos (at 1600 pixels each). It's also possible to upgrade and order additional space (up to 250GB) as your photo storage needs grow. And unlike some other photo sharing sites, Picasa Web Albums retains the quality of your images so you and your site's visitors can download those same high resolution photos off the web and to their computers.

I recently learned more about the way the web albums works. You can select any picture and get html code to embed in a blog (like the pic above) or other web page. When a visitor clicks on that embedded picture their browser goes to the web album the picture is located. Ok, that seems good because they will see a bigger version of the picture. The interesting thing is after they are in the web album they can go to any picture within that album. So if you want to keep visitors from seeing some pictures but allow other pictures, you need to keep them in separate albums. (earlier I mentioned that Picasa allows you to select private or public album settings)

Interested? Just click on the Google's photo organizer button on the right.

Oh this picture is at a cool B&B that Mary and I visited some years back.
