Only two days after the inital release the first update of picasaView comes along. If your WordPress installation is on a server with no CURL and disabled remote access for the PHP function file_get_contents() it’s now possible to connect to picasaweb throught sockets. This should work in most cases. If that’s also disabled you really should consider changing your provider 
The admin backend is now telling which connection settings are possible and more exact error messages were given in case of a problem.
Of couse there are still many things missing. The two biggest things are paging in the album detail view and the inclusion of single images instead of an whole album. So stay tuned!

This plugin will be perfect for me…
I have it installed and am awaiting updates… I really can’t wait until you have enabled single images!
It is a perfect time to release a plugin of this nature… the next best thing would be the NextGen Gallery Plugin to host your own images… but alas, I think that is going somewhere that could lead to its doom with many users… NextGen and its usage of memory with the GD library will force users to find alternative methods to show off their pictures.
I already use Picasa and this plugin could end up being a superb replacement to hosting your own images/galleries – especially for those that are hosted on restricted lower mem allocated web servers.
Keep up the good work… and I can’t wait to see the next release!

Is there a way to show albums that are not public? Maybe enter in the authkey?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
not yet – but it’s planned for the future versions (by specifying the authkey). Stay updated
