Picasa is Google’s solution to photo sharing. Create albums online that friends and family can view and download. They don’t even need to create a Google account to view the photos. Choose between three sharing options: make your album public, allow access by invitation, and allow access by login only.

First step is to install the Picasa application on your computer. The application searches your computer for photos and organizes these photos in folders by date. Create albums by drag and drop. Click the “sync to web” button to save your albums or folders on the web. Click the “Web Albums” button to view the photos online.

PICASA PHOTO GALLERY ON YOUR WEBSITE
Create a Picasa photo gallery on your own website with the export option. For a more polished look, use one of the free Picasa templates on the web. Download and extract the template to the local directory: to the directory \Program Files\Google\Picasa3\web\templates\. Then go into Picasa and choose Album->Export as HTML Page. Now just use an FTP utility to upload your gallery to your web server.

Here’s the Gallery I created.
