Use Picasa2 to upload images to Gallery

This will be a quick little tutorial on how to use Picasa2 to upload images to the open source web program gallery. This method was tested in linux (ubuntu) but it will work in windows and mac.

Here are the steps:

• Create a folder in Picasa with all the images you want in your web gallery.
• Right click on that folder and click Export as HTML page.
• Chose the size you want your images to be and click Next
• Chose the export template to be a XML file and click finish.
  
• Go to the Exported pictures section, right click on the folder you exported, and click locate on disk.
• This should bring you to a folder on your disk where the pictures were stored. Go up one level where you will see a .xml file.
• Now select all the folders there and compress them as a zip file.

Now its Gallerys turn.

• Log in as admin and click the Add items link on the right hand side.
• Click the From Picasa2 Link on the menu that shows up
• Now just navigate to the folder that contains your zip file and upload it. Let Gallery do the rest.

That was pretty easy. If you don't like reading, here is a quick video tutorial on how to do it:
