Picasa album

Google recently added a feature that links Blogger (the space hosting this blog) to Picasa (a Flickr like service that hosts pictures). Now (supposedly) when pictures are added to the blog, they are added to Picasa and stored over there. They have also already moved pictures already posted on the blog to Picasa. This is convenient for you all as it provides a way to quickly look at pictures and avoid all the annoying text that I write.

A link to the album is here.

The albums also provide you a way to order prints of the pictures. I upload pictures at a fairly decent resolution so prints upwards of 8x10 should be just fine (and probably even larger).

To order prints:
1. Go to the album, and click on a picture.
2. On the picture's page, select "order prints" (link on the right). This adds the picture to an order. You can return to the album page and select other pictures if you want.
3. When you've selected all the photos you want, click "view order" in the upper right hand corner. This starts the ordering process. You have 2 vendor options, they both offer a certain number of free prints to new users and they're both about twenty cents per 4x6 print. There are other options (like photo mugs, t shirts) as well, specific to each service.

If you use this service let me know - I'm interested as to how you like it.

P.S.
I say "supposedly" because the initial migration did not take every picture over, so they not all currently available. There are 2 ways to post on blogger - through their website, and via email. It looks like when you post via email (my usual method) the pictures don't get added. Yet. I'm guessing eventually they will.
