Using a Picasa Picture as your Blogger Profile Photo


You'd have thought, that with Picasa being a Google product, the task of uploading a photo from a Picasa album to your blogger profile would be relatively straightforwards.

Well it's not too onerous a task, but you need to know a few things to do it.




  • First you need the image you want to use loaded into Picasa.
  • Once you've done this, view the photo in Picasa and click on Link to this Photo.
  • You'd have thought that you would copy the URL displayed under "Paste link in email or IM" and used this in your blogger profile, but alas no. Instead copy the HTML shown under "HTML to embed in website".
  • Paste it into notepad or some other suitable editor, then copy the URL shown between the quotes of the href.
  • Now bring up the Blogger Dashboard and click on Edit Profile.
  • Scroll down to Photograph and paste in the URL you copied earlier.
  • Press Save Profile
Huzzah!!! You now have your chosen Picasa photo as your profile picture. I'm sure Google will get their act together sometime and make this process easier. In the meantime however the above instructions tide you over till that day comes.


Your Picasa picture may not be a Picasso, but you'd better pick a good one for your profile.

Summer Love - The Narcotic Daffodils 🌞❤

1.  Summer Love 2. Naturally High 3.  Guardians 4. Hypnotized 5. You can't get 6. Bruxelles 7.  Atomic 53 It's been three years since the band's last album, Cellex, was released, and there have been a number of personnel changes since then, with Luna taking up vocal duties, Arne the drums and Maria the Guitar. I remember hearing Maria playing with an all-girl band many years ago and they blew me away, so the prospect of her joining the Narcotic Daffodils  was exciting. As before, the bass is supplied by the inimitable Flupke with Simon providing Sitar and keyboard licks on the Hammond. 1. Summer Love Any fears that the new lineup have lost the spirit of the old are quickly dispelled by the opening and title track of the album, Summer Love. Gilly Smythe, Gong # style, whisper-voices draw you in before Flupke's bass kicks in with the Hammond, underpinning, proceedings. The song ends with a melange of Sitar and synth, underlining the fact that the Nar

Daffodils & Crêpes

Image
I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crepe eating crowd, A host, of narcotic daffodils. L'amuse Gueule crêperie, a strange venue for music, but in psychedelia strange is good. The last pancakes were munched, the diners departed and the strains of a sitar filled the air. Cue guitar, bass & drums and some hypnotic, pulsating music from The Narcotic Daffodils . At times reminiscent of Hawkwind in their prime, the band produced a wall of sound that had me in head banging heaven. They did however vary their sound quite a bit, with two covers thrown into the mix for good measure. Personally I'd like to hear them do more psychedelic material, but speaking to keyboardist and Sitar maestro Simon Rigot after the show, they want to keep their music varied. But hey, a heady cocktail of rock and mind expanding melodies is OK by me. I'd also like to hear more Sitar, but as Simon also plays keyboards that would be a tad
