04.22Picasa 3D Carousel Template and More
Picasa is a great product from Google for locating, organizing, editing, adding effects, printing, emailing, and uploading photos. I pretty much use Picasa for all of these features, but the one I really like is the web albums. It comes installed with 6 templates, but if you want to add some flare to your albums Paul van Roekel has created 19 free templates, both flash and HTML.
They’re very simple to install you just download, unzip, and place in C:\Program Files\Picasa2\web\templates. Restart Picasa and they are now available to be used. Creating the web albums are just as easy, select the photos you want, go to Folder -> Export as HTML Page…, select the size you want to use (I usually use 640px), the title of the page, and the output destination. Then choose your template and finish!

I really like the image flow gallery…I am trying to figure out how to hyperlink the images, so as when they come up and i click on a desired image it goes to whatever link i set…is this possible? I use picasa to add my images and i try to edit the xml file, but i dont know the code…
Thanks for any advice…i am a stupid person..lol

Hi there, this is really helpful… but believe it or not I am still trying figure out what to do after I extract the zip file.
How do I place the files in C:\Program Files\Picasa2\web\templates ?
I am afraid I have no idea how to do that.

is there any way at all to change the links of the images so they can corrospond with pages on a site?

Then I would suggest you don’t run Windows, try running ubuntu instead – it’s nicer and easier.
