Viewing Picasa Web Albums via Google Gadgets everywhere
Google Gadgets, which provided customized display panels for the Google customized homepage, are now able to be placed on any page.
With this announcement, Google have also come up with some new gadgets, including one for displaying Picasa Web Albums content that displays either someone's gallery, or the pictures in an individual album.
The gadget, by Sophia B. (who has produced a number of Google Gadgets) is configured by giving it a Picasa Web Albums RSS feed - which are available for galleries or albums. It then shows just one album or image, with click arrows to scroll to the previous or next album or image. A check box allows for showing the image description - which uses the caption if present, or gives the image filename if there is no caption.
The earlier inbuilt gadget for Picasa Web Albums is not suitable for embedding in pages other than the personalized home page.

This doesn't work now, since the RSS feeds have changed now.
Now they looks like:

insted of:

Somebody could change the code of that gadget.
Just to confirm the comment above, which is great feedback for a developer to go in and fix it.
Also to inform whomever is repsonsible for Picasa that there is an impact on this gadget so people can be informed or code written to remove an impact.
Would be a great gadget once it is working again.
