hi djidjadji my data was in a pickle, but it was my own fault! duh. When I looked at the template for the input field I had ' " {{entry}} " '
so it was just doing what I told it to do. Anyhow, now it works and I can capture the data and pictures from any public picasa album. I can store the pictures as links and not have to put the src content in my app engine site. Anyone interested in how to do that?
