Crop and re-size photos stored in PIcasa, without HTML

Some very interesting info from David of Blogger Xpertise about controlling the display of photos from Picasa by manipulating the URL.   What he's found is nothing that we couldn't do with HTML, but I have a feeling that it might point to some other possibilities using Picasa's URLs.   Ref:   http://blogxpertise.blogspot.com/2012/05/tip-automatically-cropping-square-and.html

    Thank you for the link!

    The resizing/cropping functionality is quite useful; for example in dynamically resizing the thumbnails for the popular posts gadget beyond the normal sizes without any loss of quality or for creating fancy label-landing pages.

    Best,

    -David

      'm delighted to link to your site David, I'm a big fan of what you've been able to achieve with Blogger, and like you am convinced that very few people use it to its full potential.

      The visuals on your latest post are stunning: http://blogxpertise.blogspot.com/2012/05/website-redesign-launch-of-concentrics.html
