Replace the “tester” username below with your own, and the target value with the selector of the element you wish to append the pictures to.

$(document).ready(function() {
	$.getJSON("http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/tester/?kind=photo&access=public&alt=json&callback=?",
	function(data) {
		var target = "#latest-picasaweb-images ul"; // Where is it going?
		for (i = 0; i <= 9; i = i + 1) { // Loop through the 10 most recent, [0-9]
			var pic = data.feed.entry[i].media$group;
			var liNumber = i + 1; // Add class to each LI (1-10)
			var thumbSize = 0; // Size of thumbnail - 0=small 1=medium 2=large
			$(target).append("<li class='no-" + liNumber + "'><a title='" + pic.media$description.$t + "' href='" + pic.media$content[0].url + "'><img src='" + pic.media$thumbnail[thumbSize].url + "' /></a></li>");
		}
	});
});
