Embedded Picasa Web Albums for Agents (and Photographers)

So check it out - Embedded Picasa Web Albums are fantastic little snippets of code that allow agents and photographers show off their listings in a very clean and simple style.

Pro's - it's clean and simple (already stated). You can set it to auto-play or not. It requires virtually nothing for the end-user to do but watch the show. If the user does want to control the show, they can. You can customize the border with just a little knowledge of the embed-code. Because it's embedded code, you don't have to host anything on your site or know the slightest bit about the backend of Flash Player. Clean and simple, eh?

Con's - requires the end-user to have Flash Player already installed. In today's day and age, almost everyone has already cleared that hurdle - but there are plenty of folks out there who will have to install it just to see the photos. The other con, no looping. As of this writing, there isn't a way to tell the slideshow to repeat itself, so the user has to click play again. I've seen that feature be requested by many people online, so maybe it's coming soon.

Overall, it's a neat little tool that can make your photos more presentable online.
