So I went and redid them by selecting "copy image address" which I assume is the same as "copy image url" which is not an option in google photos when I do it for some reason. I followed instructions to put the url in the box, I can see the photo in the temporary box with what can be loaded, then I added it. I can see it but on my wifes computer I cannot except for three of the photos but I cannot find out why they show and nothing else does, it makes no sense to me. I am not a programming expert although I did look at the html codes to see if I could see any differences between what I could see on my wifes computer and what I could not. I didnt see anything obviously different. Why is it so difficult to do, one would think that since google owns both it should be seamless, but instead it is a real pitha. I know if I download a photo to my laptop hard drive I can upload it to blogpost but that is cumbersome when I have so many in googlephotos--the whole point of having googlephotos from my point of view is so I dont have to overload my harddrive with images. geranioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960970596321533700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212644334016245861.post-74237595393400802662016-01-16T00:19:49.335-08:002016-01-16T00:19:49.335-08:00The Blogger slideshow widget lets you pick an Albu...The Blogger slideshow widget lets you pick an <b>Album</b> from "Picasa Web Albums" - that should include all your Google Photos albums that are public as options. The trick is you need to add your "username" to configure the widget. <br /><br />To find your username: <br />1. go to picasaweb.google.com <br />2. Click the "My Photos" tab<br />3. Click "Public Gallery"<br />4. Look at the URL of the public gallery page, it will be picasaweb.google.com/[username]<br />The Public Gallery page also shows all the albums you will be able to pick from for the gadget.<br /><br />In most cases the username is a 21 digit number.<br /><br />Enter that number as the "username" for the Slideshow widget. The dropdown list next to "Album" should then show all your public albums. <br /><br />You can change the visibility of individual albums Created in Google Photos to public in Picasa Web Albums if you need to.Peggy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326218994515136363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212644334016245861.post-90162097431074141812016-01-13T11:33:06.187-08:002016-01-13T11:33:06.187-08:00Hi there!

There are some widgets that add a slideshow from your Picasa Web Albums or Flickr uploads, but those rely on Flash which isn't viewable in all browsers or on mobile devices. <br /><br />You can set the YouTube video to autoplay by editing the embed code "autoplay" setting to 1 (more info: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters)Peggy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326218994515136363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212644334016245861.post-13719661423838924442015-10-28T07:09:15.169-07:002015-10-28T07:09:15.169-07:00Just found you blog and think you are sharing some...Just found you blog and think you are sharing some great info, thanks. I have a residential design business and moving toward blogger as my website format, so I can start building a community of followers.<br /><br />Do you know of any options for inserting a slideshow of images into a post? I'm thinking the best option is a youtube video, but it would be nice to have something in motion while people are reading to description of the project.
