I am currently no longer developing or supporting this plugin. I may resume development and support in the future, but I'm not sure when.

What's new in Shashin 3.4

  • Responsive design: your thumbnails will look good on any size display, and so will the expanded view.
  • Social sharing: link directly to the full size display of any Shashin photo from Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest (and you can just share a link directly with someone)
  • Improved experience when navigating thumbnails of photos within an album
  • Captions now overlay the bottom of thumbnails
  • Updated to handle the latest changes from Google in how Google+ interacts with the Picasa API
  • Removed support for viewers other than prettyPhoto and Fancybox. There is now too much custom javascript in Shashin for it work with any viewer.

Note: on the Shashin settings page, you will want to pick prettyPhoto as your viewer to take full advantage of the new responsive design and social sharing features.
