You can upload albums to the web to share with others.

Select the album you want to upload.

Right click on the album name and select Upload to Web Album.

You will be asked if the album is to be public or unlisted (private).

You will also be asked what file size to upload.

The smallest size will upload quickly and will look great on screen. But it cannot be used to make a nice print or as a screensaver.

The medium size will prod ice an OK print at very small sizes.

The largest size will produce the best print and screensaver. It will take the longest to upload and download. Because these photos are decent quality someone could rip off you photos if you put the largest file size in a public album.

May be viewed by anyone who knows your public web gallery address. These galleries can be found by search by name of keyword.

Your public web album address:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Username/AlbumName

These do not appear in your public gallery; only you can see them on your My Photos page. Unlisted albums have an Authorization Key in the web address (or URL); the key is a combination of letters and numbers which make the URL very difficult to guess.

Since no login is required these are not truly private, only hard to find. They are not included in search results and the key makes them very difficult to find without being invited, i.e. being sent the URL.
