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!

    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"

Hey, I'm Web Princess aka Beckystar and welcome to my first blog, thank you Kyle for having me! Using social media buttons to share your site or content is easy and expected by your visitors. Social buttons or icons facilitate the sharing of your site, content or blog and are now a linchpin of social media. It’s not enough to simply produce content these days.
