This is what I have been doing...
1. Create a shared album
2. Add photo(s) to the shared album
3. Click on the photo you want to share so it displays in a full window
4. On a Mac, with the mouse over the image, I use a control key + mouse click, and select from the contextual menu, to display image in a separate window. This gives me a long file name ending in '.jpg'.
You can use the url ending in 'jpg', to share. Picasa seems to go out of its way to make it difficult to get a url to the actual image jpg. If you get a shared link, you only get one that goes through their album viewer. If you get the jpg, somewhere towards the end of the url are two numbers representing the image size. You can modify them to get a smaller image. I frequently use 800 by 640.
Sorry I do not know the key equivalents to display the image in a separate window, on a Windows computer. Note also, I can't get this to work on my iPad.
Good luck

I have always used a third party to post photos, usually photobucket. If you happen to have a facebook page you can also upload the images to your timeline and link to them there.

I had similar problems ... Picasa is going away and being replaced by Google photos.
