How to Put a Picture From Picasa Web Albums to Craigslist Using HTML Code
Online classifieds service Craigslist allows you to buy and sell merchandise and real estate, offer and procure employment and even the opportunity to find romance. Craigslist sets its ad listings to a default template, but it's possible to customize yours by adding HTML code. Add a picture from your Picasa Web Album to a Craigslist ad to give it personalized flair.

Make sure the image you want to use is public. If you insert the URL to a private image in your ad, only you and others logged into your account can see it.
