How do I share images from Google Picasa album.

Written 02 December 2008

First off it's always good to have the album or photo link under a photo.

For this example I'm using a photo I took on 22 November 2008 at a photoshoot event called Gasukan 11, which for this Gasukan took place at the University of Washington, in Seattle.

Google Picasa inline image option "embed image" will give you this code

Code:

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/qqVktKqOjWl-jY9-zUqq5w"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_v-muSAkmmhQ/STVqDCk79TI/AAAAAAAAALw/KT4K22OinuI/s144/Gasukan11-Senket-Tonfa.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/thisweblife/Gasukan11UniversityOfWashingtonHUB">Gasukan 11 - University of Washington, HUB</a></td></tr></table>

This sadly as far as I know doesn't work with my current message board settings. But it is still possible to show an image from the album.

For thumbnail image.. you can access

For the actual photo.. using image codes placing the photo url between image code tags.

Again for this example we will be using the image that is located here:
( http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/qqVktKqOjWl-jY9-zUqq5w )

To get the photo or image URL, right click the photo and a menu will appear go to "Properties", a pop up info box will appear and the photo URL will appear where it says location. (If you're using a browser that gives it a different name basically it will be the only URL there.)

The photo URL will look like this.

Code:

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_v-muSAkmmhQ/STVqDCk79TI/AAAAAAAAALw/KT4K22OinuI/s512/Gasukan11-Senket-Tonfa.jpg

From the "Properties" info box you can copy and paste the URL by dragging / highlighting (click right button and hold button down (or double tap if you use a touch pad) and drag pointer over the data (that being the photo URL) and copying it. (right click while stuff is highlighted and select copy from the pop up menu).

Than you can directly "paste" it or place it between the image code tags, to paste something you have copied just right click in a message space area and select paste.

So it now looks like this

Code:
