Embed a Slide Show on Your Web Page:

Here's an easy way to embed a Flash slide show on your web pages. All you need is a Google account and digital images.

1. If you don't have a Google account, you'll need to create one at: http://www.google.com
2. Go to http://picasaweb.google.com/
3. Log in
4. Create a new album
5. Upload photos to the album and create captions if you wish.
6. You can embed a Flash slide show of any web album. It'll be automatically updated when you make changes to your album. Follow these steps to embed a slide show:
   1. On the My Photos page, click your album.
   2. Click Link to this album on the right-hand side.
   3. Click Embed Slide Show.
   4. Choose your slide show settings, such as image size, captions, and autoplay.
   5. Once you've chosen your settings, copy the resulting HTML code (Ctrl+C).
   6. Paste the HTML in the source code for your site (Ctrl+V).

Once the slideshow is embedded in your site, people who click your slideshow will be taken to view your album in Picasa Web Albums.
