  I cannot embed my images from picasa web into my blog. I have been using this procedure:
  Add media
  Upload/Insert
  From Image (also used the Audio, Video or other file tab
  entered the url of the file and the title

  But a Big Red X keeps coming up and it will not let me insert.
  What am I doing wrong. How can I overcome this?
  I scanned a booklet by pages and put in one album on Picasa. Is this not how I should have done this. The photo album is found here:

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Usually what you are doing wrong is the URL you are giving is for the page the image appears on – you need to give the URL of the image – some image hosts make it hard to find the proper URL

  This is a picture that loaded fine into my test blog – I had to get the image information by right clicking on the image – Picasso does not seem to have a Get Image Link option that I could fine – maybe they are discouraging hot linking –
