Hi

My design team says that they are limited to what they can do in smugmug which seems like a load of offle to me. I want the part under the slide show at www.markbattistaphotography.co.uk to be just on the home page i.e. recent work followed by several pics with links and a footer but not on the other pages. They say that they can add it to the home page and all the others or not at all. It looks like they've just made it part of a generic footer. Is there a way of only having this content appear on the main page and not the others please?

Thanks in advance

The entire team says it? :) Perhaps it is a time to find a different team... I wonder how much are you paying them? :)

I see five boxes, a slideshow, recent work, categories, archives, footer box with nav.

Which ones do you want on the homepage and which ones on another page?

I can help you create a duplicate homepage and assign with CSS which boxes show on what page.
Does that sound like what you want?

Do you want something like this? By the way - this is not a Photoshoped image, I actually coded this:)

Got me totally confused now.
What link is your site? The one in post #1 or #4?

Allen,
I think this is the OP's website: www.markbattistaphotography.co.uk
Post #4 is mine - I simply showed the OP that what he needs is very much possible by placing an screen shot of his website with changes he needs. Sorry if I confused you:)

Ha, thanks. Looks like your screen shot page could use some work. Wrap text around photo and remove
the no photos message.

Totally agree with your observation! I am sure there is a ton of work that needs to be done to make this website better. But I only tried very quickly to answer the OP's concerns that he pointed out in his original post: the removal of extra stuff on pages other than HomePage. I am surprised that his "team" tells him it is not possible:)

Thanks everyone for getting back to me. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I just lost my Father recently.
In terms of the design team, I accepted that I had made a loss on the website and told the team to stop working on it. They were some cheap Indian labourers however, nothing's cheap if you pay for it and don't get what you want is it?
What I would like to do, is have the section from 'RECENT WORK' all the way down on the home page as it is. I would then like just the footer (the stuff in the grey footer) at the bottom of all the other pages.
Then i would like to integrate some sort of blog into the site but have no idea how

I'm sorry to hear about your father. That's hard.

On the blog front, I have matched my blog (in www.blogger.com) to my smug site. If you're interested in using a blogger blog, see the first post of the thread HOW TO match your blog to your smug site (blogger-specific). The information you need is in the first post of that thread or is linked to from the first post. There is not need to read the entire thread.

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. I see your footer on all pages that I looked at. Can you describe what you want to change?

You'll need to place the section from 'RECENT WORK' to the bottom of the page in a CSS div so you can include it on the home page and remove it everywhere else.

I don't know where to start :(

It looks like there are div classes defined for these in the css bit

You need to create a div that will incorporate all of the content you want to show only on the home page.

For example, in CSS:

#homepageOnly { display: none; }
.homepage #homepageOnly { display: block; }

Then, in the location where you have the HTML for that content, start the html indicating the div:

<div id="homepageOnly">
... your html here ...
</div>

Thank you Denise - You are an absolute star
I wasn't too sure what you meant at first but it seems to have worked.
I hope you don't mind helping me with this but I want the gallery pages to open larger than the width that's defined. I seem to have found the bit of code that's been put in for this and it looks like it's to do with the body wrapper width. The problem is, when I change it, everything goes tits up :(
I kind of want everything to stay where it is but for the gallery pages to be wider i.e. so the pictures appear bigger. It's not terribly important if it's an absolute mission to sort out but if it's something very simple then it would be nice to do,
thanks

On second glance, it looks like it's worked just the way I want it to in Firefox but not in explorer :(

found it - missed closing a tag sigh
