finding my photo's that are already on my smugmug

Lynn Ross

I can't get the photo's that are already on my smugmug site and link them to my nav bar called Oldies I just got a domain name and don't know if that's the reason that it's doing this.
I have a gallery that is named Oldies and want to link the photo's that are in that gallery, but I can't find the link to that gallery I can link one of the gallerises that are under the oldies gallery but not the gallery that holds them

I also have tried to upload thru star explorer and it would just keep uploading I found three sets of photo's on my computer and so I deleted it and don't know what one to use now I have photo shop so I might use it don't know how fast that will be, what do you most you use to upload

Hi Andy,
site name is www.wanderinglifephotography.com
And I finally got some photo's on my weber rafting to work.
Just sent this message to smugmug I really hate to bug them so here is the message:
Now that I have some of these things figured out I have some more questions for you.I have a gallery that says weber rafting or something like that, I would like to be able to put many folders for different days and make them for the people that did the rafting to see how do yo go about that, I know that I can just add more photo's to that gallery but want a distinction between each of the rafting trips
and I forgot to push the e-mail notification

And how do you go about making an about page, purchase page, and link to the gallery page I don't have a lot of photo's yet but I'm going to and it's hard to figure out some of this stuff, I'm not afraid to try things just get frustrated when it take so long to figure it out.

Hi Lynn,

Sometimes it's easier to see your site organization and find the right link to a category, etc., if you change the view on your homepage to categories instead of individual galleries. You can then see your different categories. You can always change it back if you like the individual galleries look better To do this, look in the upper right corner of your galleries box on your homepage for "display: categories - galleries" and click on categories.

To link to all of the galleries in your Oldies category, look in your Custom Header box in your site-wide customization. Specifically, look for this line of HTML for your navbar:

<li><a href="/gallery/58123945_k2qLh">Oldies</a></li>

Change that to:

<li><a href="/Oldies">Oldies</a></li>

What that does is point to the category level instead of an individual gallery. All of your Oldies galleries will then show.

You'll want to do the same here. Look for this line of navbar HTML in your Custom Header in your customization:

<li><a href="/gallery/8167271_EJiUd">Weber trips</a></li>

Change that to point to the category instead:

<li><a href="/Weber_Rafting">Weber trips</a></li>

Hi Lynn,

For your navbar, look in your CSS in your advanced site-wide customization for this CSS:

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #036;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #036;
}


Change that to:

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #3f3d3d;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #3f3d3d;
}

The easiest way to create your About and Purchasing galleries is to follow our instructions for creating a Guestbook - No. 16 - here:

Hi Lynn,

You are very welcome

Your navcontainer CSS is located in your advanced site-wide customization. It's all the CSS that begins with #navcontainer.
