How to embed picasa album slideshow in wordpress blog?

Last tutorial i had explained how to upload pictures to picasa albums in mac, but then having that just in your picasa profile and database would not be enough for all. Most of the bloggers try to have the album live in their blogs.
This may be a static album or a slideshow of the pictures, mostly the slideshow which looks more attractive than a normal image album. So here is a small tutorial on how to use a picasa slideshow in a wordpress blog post.

The first step is by opening the album page whose slideshow you want to embed in your blog.
Open the album and in the right side of the page, you will see the description and information about the album, and there would be options to link to the album through your IM, link in your website, and the option to embed slideshow to your website.

The link to “Embed Slideshow” option will not be directly shown, so you have to first click on “Link to this Album”, and under that the link would be there. Just click on it and a pop-up box appears.

In the slideshow options box, you can set the size of the images and select whether you prefer to have HTML or Javascript code to use and embed the show in your blog. And there is a preview of the slideshow which you can see and decide how to go with it.

After you are done with the selection, you get the code in the left bottom of the same slideshow options box. Copy the code and use it in your blog to embed it.

    @c3l5o: I don’t see this disabled. I cross-checked it and the option is still available.
