| Slideshow gadget running in the sidebar |
Exactly one year ago
I blogged about the fact that I like to include images in my blog posts. For many years I have used the
Blogger Slideshow gadget to display a minimovie of thumbnail images from this blog in the right hand sidebar.
When clicking on those Slideshow images, you were taken to the full sized image in an
image album (
example).
With
Google shutting down the old
Picasa Web Albums, I believe that my old Picasa images have been migrated to an "
album archive page". (see
this Picasa blog post) There are
sub-archives for each of my blogs. I've never understood how it turned out that after years of using Picasa, I ended up with several different "eras" of archived images from the wikifiction blog (see the image below).
A while back, there was word from Google that the Slideshow gadget would not work with
https connections.
Today I got this message from Google:
So, just
10 8 more days for the Slideshow gadget! (it was removed on the 27th)
Other news. I finally allowed Google to set up a "
custom URL" for my Google+ account. I'm still not sure what the advantage is over the
old number (which now re-directs to the "custom address).
Next: looking at expiration dates on old stories
