Aronil - Picasa Wordpress Plugin

Finally I have been mucking around like forever with a plugin for my Picasa album and finally I found one plugin which I think is an absolute must have for anybody who blogs, has a picasa account and doesn’t want the fuss and muss to upload pictures, followed by adding captions.

Honestly adding pictures to a post is the most tiring thing, because sometimes alignment may run and then you have to erase. Or worse you do the ol’ Ctrl+z command which works on most things, but doing that sometimes may cause your post to be wiped out to an earlier point with much lesser text.

So anyways the plugin I’m going to fully recommend is the KB Easy PicasaWeb plugin created by Adam R Brown.

Why am I recommending it? Because I think it will help loads in saving time and blogging shouldn’t be a bout hassle.

KB Easy PicasaWeb is the easiest, fastest, most visitor-friendly Picasa plugin for wordpress »”>wordpress.

Easiest: This plugin does not require you to insert funny markup into your posts–all you need is a link to a PicasaWeb album, and the plugin does the rest.
Fastest: The plugin uses efficient caching to keep your blog’s pageloads quick.
Most visitor friendly: The plugin uses PHP, not JavaScript, so it won’t cause errors or annoying movement when loading. (If you’ve used JS-based PicasaWeb plugins, you’ll know what I mean.)

How it Works

This what you have to do:

Downloadthe plugin
Write a post (or edit an old one). Somewhere within it, create a link to a PicasaWeb album (on a line by itself).
Done. This plugin finds your link, recognizes it as a PicasaWeb link, and converts it into a nicely-formatted series of photos (with captions). If you want the images bigger or smaller just head over to Options->KB Picasa and fiddle with the numbers.

Here are screenshots of what it’ll look like.

This is what the admin page will look like.

This is what it looks like on the Picasa album.

Then see how its so neatly arranged in this post. Take a look at my Chinese New Year post and you’ll see that even my caption from the Picasa album has been imported in to the post as well. SO cool!

Hope it helps you out too.
