Google Photos (Picasa)

Google's photo hosting service is called Picasa. Picasa is both a program you can download and the name for their online storage space.  To make things a bit more confusing, they've integrated this photo space with their new Google+ social networking service. your blog.

To get started, go directly to:  http://picasaweb.google.com/
You can click 'More/Photos', but this will take you to the Google+ photo interface which has fewer options.

For CALL practice I suggest going to:
http://picasaweb.google.com/

To upload photos to your web albums, click 'upload'.

You DON'T need to click 'Launch Picasa'.  

To upload photos, click 'Select photos from your computer'.

Enter a name for the album where it says 'Title'.
Select 'Public on the web' and click continue.

Locate and hightlight all of the photos you want ot upload. Then click 'OK'.

Once the photos are uploaded, you can make changes by clicking 'Orgazne & Reorder'

To embed the slideshow of photos on a blog, click 'embed slideshow'

Select the slideshow size, copy the code and paste it into yoru blog post
*remeber to select 'edit html', not compose
