Getting Started

The photos above were taken on the iPad by pressing the on/off button simultaneously with the button that takes you back to the iPad "Desktop" screen. Claro, ha!

• The top photo shows how the Picasa app looks on the iPad app store. 
• After the Picasa app is downloaded and installed, you will need to tell the app about your Picasa web albums. The second photo above is a description of the "Home" screen. This is where stuff like your Picasa web albums and Facebook accounts show up.
• The third photo shows my 'accounts' - William is the nickname that I gave to my Picasa account. You can add your Google picasa login info here - the username and password are the same as for your gmail account. In the photo above, account "William" is my picasa account, and all of the stuff showing on the screen is albums in my picasa account.

Now for some practical how-to of moving photos from the iPad to Picasa, and from Picasa into a blog. A bit of reality here - blogging from the iPad (instead of a more conventional computer) is taxing with text-alone as you already know, and is quite frustrating when trying to add photos. I'll try to come up with some strategies to make it bearable.

On the iPad, the Photos app icon (probably on the bottom of the screen, along with Safari and maybe another app or two) takes you to the photos on the iPad. These can be from your camera as well as those photos taken with the iPad built-in camera.
