Picasa Web Albums and Blogger

There is now a post on Blogger Buzz that explains more about how Blogger and Picasa Web Albums work together.

All photos uploaded since December 2006 should now appear within a Picasa Web Album (one album per blog), and gradually older photos will also be moved over as well.

There are of course some downsides to this integration:

• If you delete the photo in Picasa Web Albums, then your blogger blog is also affected since the photo is not available any more
• The photos count towards your Picasa Web Albums limit, although the increase to 1000MB limit will help here

For the moment the Picasa Web Albums What's New page has reverted back to an old version, and carries no mention of any of the new features.
