How to add Blogger pictures to MTW

A wiki reader was asking help with embedding Blogspot/Blogger photos in Mini treasures wiki so I wrote instructions for her and then added them to the wiki as well, see Photos_Picasa page. As I wrote the instructions using Finnish UI there might be different words in your Picasa so I hope you edit the instructions.

But this is what we have there now:

How to embed Picasa (Blogspot) pictures in this wiki

Find your photos from Picasa http://picasaweb.google.com (Log in)
Choose the album connected to your blog (e.g. my photo album connected to jjminit blog is http://picasaweb.google.com/jjminit/Jjminit#)
Change your album to be public (Edit - Album settings)
Share: choose Public

Save

Then go to the picture you want to embed
In the right panel there is e.g. information about the picture and a link icon "Link this picture" (or something like that, my UI is in Finnish).
Click it.
Choose the size of the picture: Small 288 pix
Copy paste from the second box. There is a code which looks like this:

...table style="width:auto;" a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo ...

Come back to Mini treasures wiki and choose a page on which you want to add your picture, click Edit and go to the table where the pictures are. Choose an empty cell. Then from Insert-HTML/Java Script.
Enter code here: paste the code in this box
Allow Java Script.
Next
Insert Plugin
Save.

Done! :)

This is how the picture looks like on wiki page:

I hope this will encourage more readers to post their photos to Mini treasures wiki :).
