Picasa Integration
Use picasa with your gmail account for a free online album without ads or for easy picture mailing!



If you don't have picasa, then you can download it for free with the link below.


Using Picasa with your gmail account is easy! You can use it to host your images to display somewhere else as well as make an online album under the url http://picasaweb.google.com/gmailusername. If you want, you may also use it to email pictures. I think it's a little bit easier to select the photos you want to send with the software than it is with the email file uploader.

The first step (after downloading the software) is to click on the pictures that you wish to upload. You can select multiple ones by holding shift and clicking on all the ones that you want.



After this step, click on either the web album or email icons to upload the files to your web album or email them to other people. Simple, isn't it?

The pros: The web album has no ads making it a more attractive service than most other web albums. There is also no bandwidth limit.

The cons: Can't really think of many!
