What you need to do in advance -

• You will need a Google account.
• If you already have one, you are all set.  If not, you can either sign up for a standard Google account (comes with gmail) -or- sign up with your existing account that is hosted elsewhere (no gmail).
• For example, if you’d like the account name “JoeShmo”, sign up and you will create a Google account named “JoeShmo” with a corresponding gmail address “JoeShmo@gmail.com”.  If you already use “JoeShmo@xyzcorp.com”, sign up (click the ‘I prefer to use my current email address’ link) and you will create a Google account named “JoeShmo@xyzcorp.com” with no corresponding gmail address.  You will also need to create a (possibly different) password for this account – Google does not know (or want to know) your existing xyzcorp password, so don’t even try - it won’t work.
• A Google account must be ‘shared’ to a PWA album in order to be able to upload photos to it.
• Email the Troop Photo Organizer with your Google account name and whichever album names (existing or new) you want to add photos to.  New albums must be created in Picasa 3 by the Troop Photo Organizer.
• You will receive an email confirmation once your Google account has been shared to a PWA album.
