  3. I already have one flash slideshow for Flickr on my blog post.

    In another post I tried putting the slideshow from another album in Picassa using ur widget.

    But if both of them exist on the same home page of my blog, then things get garbled up.

    The new one shows images of the second one. ALthough one is from picassa and another from Flickr.

    Mail me at sethxcreations@gmail.com if you can solve this problem.

    Thanks !!

    ps is there anyway to add music to a slideshow in picasa web album?

    ReplyDelete
  11. This is cool - thanks!!

    However, I have a problem. In Blogger, when I go back to edit a post with this code pasted in at the bottom, the text for the post appears for a second and then vanishes and I can't see it anymore, nor can I click on the edit HTML link. Any ideas?

    Email me at fagor286@hotmail.com if you have a chance.

    Anyway, I love this :D

  12. Hi!
    thanks for the trick! but you don't have to do this anymore! Now Picassa itself gives you the ability to embed your album's slideshow in any webpage;

    read it here:
    http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=66969

    btw,if you logged in to your picassa account & didn't see the "embed slideshow" link on the left panel of your album page, you have to go to settings & change your language to "English (US)". then you can see the "embed slideshow" link.

  13. Thanks

    Any simple way to make the slidshow default to 1 sec. instead of 4 sec.? I looked at the code and there wasn't an obvious tweak to make.

    Thanks again.

    PS the picasa slideshow maker doesn't default to autoplay.. at least for me it didn't.

  18. no meu não funcionou... ele coloca o título da postagem, mas não mostra o slide... o que será que tem de errado?

    ReplyDelete
  19. It's weird how some people can't see that link on the left. I can't either, but a friend of mine can. That's why I made this useful Picasa Slideshow Embed Tool. Hope this will help all of you!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I am able to use the embed function and it works great but, it doesn't have the feature of viewing the slides in full screen like the example.

    Can anyone show me the code for the example above and where I enter my album link in the code?

    Thank you very much

  24. Hi!
    It works on Wordpress 2.3 but there is a strange phenomena. It is impossible edit again the post saved with this code inside. When I have to update the post I have to do it directly by sql.
    I think this is a small price for a very nice thing. Thank you.

  25. Hi,
    Cool slideshow.
    But you should also consider ComBoost http://www.comboost.com
    It works on blogger too, and the advantage is that you have several models. You can customize than, add titles, comments, change colors to fit the blog, and even add a link to photos so that it can become an index for the blog.

  31. Hello

    Forget all the problem with flash slideshow (embed / object)

    Define exactly the options of your slide show using media RSS with Blogger

  48. Hi there,

    How do you set the time to be 5 seconds automatically. 3 seconds is to quick for me? Is there a parameter in the links? I know it can be set by clicking the '+' button but I want it to start automatically at more than 3 seconds, say 5 seconds. Is there a way?

    Thanks in advance, appreciate any answers.

    Please email the answers to me at jonnxxl@gmail just in case I forgot to return to this page.. thanks again..

  52. Now you can an EXCELLENT code to embed Picasa sideshow in your blog from Picasa.

    Go to your Picasa album look at right side in this album, click Link to this album then you'll see a link Embeded slideshow. They will give you opportunity to choose size, do you want autoplay it or not.

    Thank you for the post!

  53. You can get cod for embed Slideshow from Picasa if you change your Picasa-settings for language to English(United States). It does not work for another languages yet...

    I explained all this in details and pictures in my article Embed Picasa Slideshow (in Russian) but I have automatic translator.

  58. Is there another way to copy shortcut? when I right click I have no option to copy shortcut. I ran on the same problem that Rhonda Parson did. I was able to remove the empty black box by going to postings and then edit postings and removing what I had just posted.

    Thanks.
