Why Use a Custom Picasa Gallery?
I built this custom gallery out of necessity. I love Picasa, but disliked the fact that there wasn’t really any way to customize my PicasaWeb album—at all, really. So, I began researching other web storage galleries around the web: SmugMug, ZenFolio, Phanfare, etc. They all had pros and cons, but, most noticeably, they were too dang expensive, when compared to Picasa’s super cheap web storage!
The answer, I decided, was to utilize their API and build my own JavaScript-based custom gallery.
What’s Cool About It:
1. AJAX based. No page loads!
2. Store your photo gallery on a custom domain, like “photos.mysite.com”
