  • You’re done.

Note: unfortunately it is no longer possible to create a Picasa account, however old Picasa accounts can still be used.

Since Instagram has changed their API policies, now you must use your own Instagram keys in order to create an Instagram gallery.
You will find how to create your Instagram API keys here.
