Picasa - Picture Simplicity
Picasa is a free software download from Google that organizes pictures on your computer. It’s like iTunes for photographs.
* Locate and organize all the photos on your computer.
* Edit and add effects to your photos with a few simple clicks.
* Share your photos with others through email, prints, and on the web.
One of my clients installed Picasa and “starred” his favorite photos and added captions. Then I signed him up with a google account so he can get free online web albums. He selects the photos he wants, pushes one button - and bang! Those images are online in his web album. A little green arrow is displayed on the picture which means the picture was uploaded. Now he doesn’t wonder which photos are on his website - the green arrow tells him!
He used to email me the pictures. What a pain in the arse! Now, I just click my bookmark (to his album) and download the pictures for his website - including captions! Or, I can get a “feed” to my google reader which notifies me when new pictures are added.
Mommy - you should download this program also. This is probably the easiest way for me to get images on your website. You don’t even have to organize them in some special folder. Just select the image and click the web album button! It takes one to two minutes to upload each photo on dial up.

Hey, I don't want this picture. What gives?
Now, you just need to incorporate the Google Web Album into their personal website via RSS! Then they upload a photo and presto-chango, it is on their website!
Yes, that would be awesome except for two things. The first is QC (many spelling errors or vagueness). And the second is burning a permanent id number onto the image itself (kind of like a watermark). See image example.
Oh crap! I forgot that I disabled directory browsing. Neat. I’m glad that it works. Okay, look at this page example instead.
Thanks for the info Jenn. Before I read your message I used the Google updater and the program was added. I really love it!! But I haven’t had the time lately to play with it.
