More on photo storage and giveaway

I was asked a few times yesterday about the impact deleting photos had (see previous post). Here are a few answers:

Any photos uploaded to a Blogger.com, Blogspot.com or a custom Blogger domain will automatically be included in a Picasa Web Albums album of the same name. Each blog that includes photos will have a corresponding online album for those photos, designated in Picasa Web Albums with a small Blogger icon. Blogger albums are unlisted by default and therefore aren’t searchable on the Picasa Web Albums site. Here are some things to keep in mind when integrating photos between these sites:


* All photos posted to Blogger are included in the 1 GB of free storage allotted to Picasa Web Albums.
* Comments and captions added on either product will only be visible on that site.
* Photos deleted from your Blogger album in Picasa Web Albums will also be deleted from your blog.
* To delete a Blogger album in Picasa Web Albums, you must first delete all photos.


To delete all photos from your album, please follow these steps:
1. On the My Photos tab, click on the Blogger album.
2. In the menu above your photos, select Edit > Organize and reorder.
3. Select all photos you’d like to delete. To select multiple photos, click and drag your mouse over (rubber-band select) all photos you’d like to delete. You can also hold the Ctrl (Windows) or Shift (Mac) key while selecting photos one-at-a-time.
4. Click the Delete button at the top of the page.
5. Click OK to confirm the deletion.


After deleting all photos, delete the album by going to Edit > Delete album.
When you delete a photo from your Blogger album on Picasa Web Albums, the photo will also be deleted from your blog. Likewise, if you delete a photo from Blogger it will be deleted from Picasa Web Albums.

    Hi Katrina
    Thanks so much for these tips – they're always handy. A question. I seem to have multiple entries of photos in Picasa Web Albums, probably where they have uploaded in the wrong place and I've deleted them and replaced them. It seems that every version of the photos stays there. Is there any way of knowing exactly which version of the photo was actually used on the blog so I can keep it and delete the other, unnecessary version?
    Thanks J x
