If you don’t want to use Google’s online Web space like PICASA web albums to store your photos, you can upload them to your own personal Web site’s FTP server. This article tells you the procedure to move your files from Picasa web album to your own Host. In order to do it
Right-click on the album you want to upload and select Export as HTML Page. Enter a name for the album title and the resolution that you want to export the images to. Click Next, choose a template from the list and click Finish.
The finished page will be displayed in your default Web browser. You can upload that folder to your site and create a link to it from your main page. There’s a feature that Google claims as experimental but it allows you to upload the photos to the FTP server directly through Picasa. Go to Tools > Experimental > Publish via FTP.
Again, select a resolution, a save location and a template. Now you’ll be prompted to select an account. Click on Account Manager to create a new account. Click Add an Account and enter your FTP server information – address, user and password – and click OK. Now you can select your new FTP server and click OK.
Oh my goodness! a amazing post dude. Thanks Nevertheless My business is experiencing issue with ur rss . Don’t know why Not able to sign up for it. Possibly there is any person obtaining identical rss difficulty? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thnkx
unfortunately this experimental FTP feature has been dropped by Google. It was only available till Picasa 3.6 Build 95.25 that can be downloaded on http://www.oldapps.com/picasa.php?old_picasa=10?download. After download disable Internet whilst installing to not let it auto update to new version. Ne need to de-install newer version prior to installation of Picasa 3.6 Build 95.25.
Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I wish to put in writing like this moreover – taking time and actual effort to make an excellent article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and in no way seem to get one thing done.
That’s pretty cool!
Interesting post , I’m going to spend more time researching this topic
Hi!
I love Picasa and publishing with it, my only problem is SEO.
All the albums are embedded in our site (now only static, but soon via slideshows: http://fulophasznalt.hu/kinalatunk-galeria — this URL will change to http://fulophasznalt.hu/kinalatunk when I am finished with it).
As the pictures (and captions with keywords) are ‘outsourced’ to Google’ domain name, our website doesn’t benefit from them SEO-wise.
The main benefit from Picasa is the automatic syncronisation with the servers (and so with our website). I only delete/update/caption the pictures locally, and all is taken care of. The RSS feeds and the slideshows provided are also VERY nice!
These would all be lost, if I’d try hosting the albums on our server, wouldn’t they? So no Sync to Web, no slideshows and RSS feeds, right?
(BTW I loooove the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” service!
