Google now lets you embed a gallery into your blogposts!
Sort of…. I was hoping for something more in the way of a mini-gallery that can show up, but instead, it just shows the front cover of the photo gallery as a link to the public gallery at picasa.google.com which, in turn, is part of the beta-testing of Picasa 2 from Google. Still, you can just click through using the preview and get into the regular photo gallery section where you can get full sized images of the pictures. There are other cool features like downloading the full albums and so on.
Anyway, I’m more than happy to use their web-space instead of mine, especially since you can upload the photos in pretty decent resolution. Storage space is limited to 250MB I think, but that still gives you a good-ish amount of space to store quite a few photos. Plus, it seems like if you’re on a fast connection, their slideshow thing should run pretty smoothly…. So, I’ve started off by uploading my old doodles, and I’ve sort of sorted them into different categories….
Scribbly Passtimes
Pastels and Watercolors
Linocuts and Etchings and Woodcuts! Oh My!
Mostly Monochromatic Black
Mostly Monochromatic or Few Colors
Small Face Doodles
Scribbly Doodles
Overall, the resolution viewable at the galleries is high enough that you can actually zoom in on most of the pictures and actually read the stories that were messily scribbled in there, so if you want to take a look at a pretty productive few years of doodling, head over to the galleries and check out the pictures with their pretty colors….
