jQuery Google+/Picasa Gallery (Images and Media)

Overview

The jQuery Google+/Picasa Gallery script allows you to show all your Google+/Picasa albums (images) on your website. Please note that this script will only work with albums that are set to public and visible. This script is a pure javascript/jQuery solution and does not require a PHP server.

If you like this script, please take the time to rate it. Thank you!

Other Notes

This script is a rewrite of my jQuery Facebook Gallery scripts and offers the same features as the original but instead of Facebook, it utilized the Google+/Picasa API to retrieve albums and photos.
