    It looks like Google has made another change to how they’re juggling things between Picasa and Google+. I’ll have to make an update to Shashin for this. It’s frustrating that they do this without announcements or updating their API documentation.

    In the meantime, you can still add the album….

    If you can still get to it on Picasa, use the Picasa URL. Some users still can go to Picasa without being redirected to Google+ and others can’t. As far as I know it’s random.

    I have the correct URL for you below, but I’m writing out the steps if you have other albums to add, or others need this:

    1. Go to the album page on Google+
    2. Do a “view source” in your browser
    3. Do a search for “authkey” which will take you to this URL in the code:

    https://picasaweb.google.com/100401511847471107663/20130407N1DUCVsRonchin02?authkey\u003dGv1sRgCPLkwsP64ejcGw#5864447949715620882

    4. Paste that URL into your browser
    5. When the page loads, the URL will be automatically re-written to:

    https://picasaweb.google.com/100401511847471107663/20130407N1DUCVsRonchin02?authkey=Gv1sRgCPLkwsP64ejcGw#5864447949715620882

    6. Take that URL and paste into the Shashin tools page to add the album, and then it should work
