I’ve been working with the newsletter people at Ward PTO and North PTSO to setup PicasaWeb accounts for collecting images to use in their respective newsletters. I’ve been finding it difficult to USE the images one they’re in the albums. It’s just not as friendly as I had hoped.

So, I’ve been thinking about changing course and suggesting that they turn on the Image Gallery features native to their respective PTO websites. As an example, I have created a couple of image galleries on this site.

The pros of using the embedded image galleries is that it’s much easier to embed the images into other posts and you don’t have to hassle with another site/login account.

The cons are that you have to use the web form to upload each image (a little more cumbersome) and we lose the other bells and whistles on the PicasaWeb site.

What do others think?
