How to Create a Photo Gallery Using Picasa API
The Picasa Web Albums Data API supports the integration of Picasa Web Albums features into your website. For example, the API enables site visitors to create their own photo galleries on your website and upload images to it, too. Some developers use the API to create photo galleries that support image uploads from specific devices and mobile clients. Integrating the API into blogging software can also enable the display of a Picasa album on the blog's pages. Because uses for this API on websites varies, tailoring use of this API to a site's existing framework and applications is essential.
