Publish photos to any Blogger blog using Google’s Picasa


Picasa is free photo software from Google that helps you find, edit and share the photos on your computer – it even helps you post a photo directly to your blog on Blogger. When you use Picasa to blog a photo, any edits you made to the photo using Picasa are preserved; you don't have to resize the picture by hand, transfer files, format HTML posts, or even find a place to host your images - Picasa does all the work for you.

How do I blog a photo using Picasa?

  1. In Picasa, select the photo you want to post to your blog. The photo will appear in the "Picture Tray" at the bottom left of your screen.

  2. Click the "BlogThis!" button at the bottom right of your screen.


  3. Sign in to your account on Blogger.com. (If you do not have an account, click the "Sign up for Blogger" link to create an account, or you can go to Blogger's home page to get started.)


  4. After sign in, select an existing blog or create a new one. This is the website on Blogger where your photo will appear when published.

  5. The Blogger post editor will open. Your selected photo from Picasa will appear in the body of the editor.


  6. Click the "Publish" button at the bottom of the page to add these photos to your blog.

How do I add a caption to a blogged photo?

Captions entered in Picasa are not currently transferred to your blog when using the "BlogThis!" button. Follow these steps to add captions to the photos after they have been transferred to the Blogger post editor:

  1. In the Blogger post editor, click the “Compose” tab. (Usually this is selected by default)


  2. Click on the area where you would like to add text, a cursor will appear.

  3. Type your caption. Use the buttons at the top of the editor for more formatting and alignment options. For HTML editing, click the “Edit HTML” tab.


  4. When you’re finished, click the “Publish” button. Your blog will open with your photo and caption posted at the top of the page.

How much does this cost?

All Blogger members get free image hosting. If you're hosting your own Blogger blog, you can also use Picasa’s “BlogThis!” button to transfer pictures to your own server, too.
