You need to sign up for a google account first. then :

Step 1. In Picasa, select the photo(s) to be uploaded.
Step 2. Click Upload, name your album and adjust the privacy settings.
Step 3. When the upload is finished, click View Online. Your web albums will open.

But personally, I find photobucket easier to upload pics to this page.

I use Picassa for just my own PC stuff, and I use this to crop and contrast my shots. I then use Microsoft Picture Manager to resize to a comfy web happy size and I then use Photobucket as my Web Host Collection of Photos.

I then Copy the Image location between the two ! ! on this site.

I shoot my photos now in RAW and I use Oly software plus Picassa to deal with these images and turn them to jpegs.

‘You need to sign up for a google account first.’

That I’m not sure of because I use photobucket to put the links in here. It’s easier and I prefer to put up the clickable thumbnails for those who don’t wish to view the pic in full detail.

it can be convoluted, but the results are okay… I lose a lot of sharpness in the way I resize to make things happy for this site. I could do the thumbnail thing so that if you wanted to see the crystal clearer bigger image you could… but I like me little collection of postage stamp images.

but the original images can be sooooo sharp and clear in the RAW….
