I use both Picasa and JAlbum. Picasa for quick and dirty albums (I find the interface a bit cluttered) and JAlbum for more "important" stuff. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "integrate the photos into the Wordpress blog". If you just need to find out the URL of a specific image from a gallery on the JAlbum website so that you can incorporate that image into the blog, that's fairly easy to do. You just need to click on the thumbnail image to bring up the full sized image, then look at the URL in the location bar of the browser and change the "html" extension to "jpg". For example, here's a link to one of my JAlbum pages: http://supera.jalbum.net/A_Few_Days_on_the_Coast/slides/_IGP1340x.html Changing it to: http://supera.jalbum.net/A_Few_Days_on_the_Coast/slides/_IGP1340x.jpg would allow you to paste that link into a blog or any other web page. If I've misunderstood what you want to do, let me know.
