Gadgets for Galleries

By -
Trying to get a good gallery in Google Sites isn't the best. But to all those who would like something cool, do a gadget search for COOLIRIS. This gadget works hand in hand with your Picasa Web Album. Adding your user name (gmail name) and the name of your album (http://picasaweb.google.com/(user)/(album)) makes it real simple and easy to add.

For some help on adding gadgets, be sure to check out the post Useful Gadgets to learn how to add them to your site. For an example of the Cooliris Gallery you can view my site 3sgraphics.com to see how they work.

It's really neat and can add a nice flare to your portfolio or just a nice gallery! With the option to expand your gallery full screen, allow you to keep your dimensions small but still allow others to view the full image with no lost of DPI.

Hope this is a good useful tips Be sure to post some of your work on our site to show case your proud work!

    I like it but I am confused-I just can't see where or how to link it to a specific photo album in picasa?

    You copy the album name at the end, its found in the url of the gallery your viewing. For my logos the full url is
    https://picasaweb.google.com/3Sgraphics/3rdStGraphicsLogos#

    once you add that gadget the user name will be"3sgraphics"...the album is "3rdStGraphicsLogos"

RSS Feed for Google Sites!

A Reliable Gadget for Embedding your Feeds I was struggling just weeks ago trying to create a RSS feed that looked decent and accomplished what should be a simple task. This minor update caught me by surprise and I am happy to see it. I was using FeedWind to accomplish a RSS feed through an iframe, that means my html was hosted with a third-party and embedded onto the webpage via Mori79's iframe gadget (search iframe under public gadgets and it is the first one). The Slideshow Option. Not terribly useful, but nice. Anyways, no more iframes, just a customizable, easy to use Google-endorsed gadget. We at Kirksville Web Design have already fully tested out this gadget including the interesting display feature, slideshow. The slideshow only shows the title as a link and a thumbnail. It's not the most useful or aesthetically pleasing, but I'm all for options here. No Transparency Allowed on Hexcode for bg color. Here's the original post below. Enjoy! Better...

I've enjoyed crafting these themes, utilizing all the new tools available to me on the platform.  Here are some quick screenshots, but if you want to explore the full templates, come on over to my website.
