Picasa allows you to create and install extensions to their “Make a web page” / “Publish Via FTP” process. Luckily the process is very simple.
First you need to locate where Picasa is installed:
For most people using a windows machine this will be:
C:\Program Files\Picasa2
Within the Picasa2 folder, you will find several additional folders. All of your web page extensions need to go into
the
C:\Program Files\Picasa2\web\templates\
folder.
Generally, the extensions you download will be in zip format.
Just use the built in Windows Extraction Wizard to unzip the downloaded files into this directory. (You can also use Stuffit or the open source 7-zip to unzip the files.
Using the unzip built into windows, just right click the zip file and choose “extract all”:
Follow the Extraction wizard, making sure you choose to unzip the files into the proper directory
Once the files have been unzipped. Restart Picasa and go to “Tools | Experimental” and choose “Publish Via FTP” or “Folder | Export as HTML page” to see your new extension in the list.
