Overview

Shashin has many features for displaying your Picasa photos and videos in your Wordpress posts and pages:

• Show a gallery of your Picasa albums, and all the photos and videos in each album.
• Show your photos and vidoes with your favorite image viewer. Highslide is included with Shashin, but you ay also use a different viewer of your choice.
• Pick individual photos or videos to display, in any size supported by Picasa.
• Pick photos and videos from any combination of albums to display in groups of thumbnails.
• Show thumbnails of your newest photos and videos, from one or more albums.
• Display album thumbnails for albums you choose, or all your albums, sorted however you like. Includes links to Google Maps.
• Display any number of random photos and videos, from one or more albums. You can also choose to exclude certain photos or albums from random display.
• Use widgets for all of the above!
• Customize the Shashin and Highslide stylesheets to suit the theme of your site.
• Internationalization: Shashin supports translations into other languages (please contribute a translation if you're bilingual!)
• Schedule daily automatic synchronization of Shashin with your Picasa albums.
