I can successfully embed the picasa slideshow copied and pasted from this snippet. However, when trying to paste the code for my own slideshow, I get an error message.
I have painstakingly compared the code, and can't tell that anything is different between the two other than customizable elements such as the size of the frame and the address of the album being pointed to. (And changing these doesn't seem to help.)
Here's what's happening:

However, if I paste from above:
Is this a problem related to my google account? Or is there something else that is going wrong?
Does anyone have any insight on this? Have other people encountered this problem?
I had the exact same problem.

Exactly the same problem for me
I tried to change the embedding code but.. I cannot even get the code for my album from picasaweb page. There's only a 'slideshow' button but it only starts the slideshow. And no 'Embed Slideshow' button. Any ideas how to generate the embed code?
It looks like Google is in the process of removing this functionality.
They recently redid Picasaweb, and they took the "Embed Slideshow" button off. If you want to mess with it anyway, you can click on the little picasa icon in the corner of the above slideshow, and click "get your own"—at which point it will give you the code for any of your albums (provided you are logged into google, and you have albums.)
On the plus side, however, Picasa 3 makes YouTube movies out of slideshows quite easily. It makes a reasonable alternative!
Thanks for that hint. However, it seems to be turned off now - it gives me 404 -not found Error. I found a web page that used the RSS code to generate the embed link but with no success as well.
I'm still looking for a solution to show my picasa pictures through a nice gallery on wikidot page - similar to simpleviewer, with customizable image size. Anyone tried something similar?
It looks like wikidot currently only accepts embeds from
http://picasaweb.google.pl but not from from http://picasaweb.google.com !
Thank you guys for reporting this problem. This is FIXED now.

Yes it works! And I finally I generated the embed code as well. This tool: http://www.tools4noobs.com/picasa/ generates the code from RSS code.
I'm still having problems - I generated the code using the RSS link from my album on tools4noobs, but I get the error "Sorry, no match for the embedded content." — any ideas?
I still have that problem, too. I can see the slideshow on tools4noobs.com, but not @ wikidot.com. It`s said: "Sorry, no match for the embedded content."
Here is my source code:
I take your code and re-arrange it a little ( and deleted some characters! ) like the other above:
This is the code from above post:

Can you post here the LINK to your picasa web album?

The link is http://picasaweb.google.de/DerGecko1980/Bierkultour2008 which I want to be shown on http://karlranseier.wikidot.com/2008
I tried to copy the source code and put the RSS-Feed-address after the "feed=". Then I changed all other addresses to google.de instead of .com ; Then I replaced all / by %2F and the : by %3A. But still "sorry, no match for the embedded code". I tried it again wit .com, because maybe there was a mistake with %3A.
I thought the arrangement of the "content-tags" does not matter?
edit: I changed the complete last part after the album id to %3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss, but still it`s not working
edit 2: now it looks like
edit 3: macromedia.com instead of macromedia.de !!! So it works now.
Trying to embed my picasaweb images, but doesn't want to work. I also get "Sorry, no match for the embedded content." error. I've gotten around it but cutting and pasting the http:// portion of the <img src="http:…">, but I'm looking for more convenient solutions.
Would you give us the code for test?
