Subcategory trouble

Hi there
I'm in the process of setting up my SmugMug account and I am very confused! I have a friend who has used SmugMug for at least a couple years now and I phoned her up and had her log in and try this but even she was confused. Bear with me as I try to explain in enough detail to allow you guys to help me!

I would like to set up my page so that the first page you get to from my domain is "Clients" with categories like "Weddings", "Families", "Newborns", etc. Kind of like a portfolio all on one page. I'm starting with a wedding, so I want to click on "Weddings" and find the names of the bride and groom, say in this case, "Bride and Groom". From there I'd like to click on their protected gallery and find more galleries, each separated into their folders like "Formals", "Ceremony", "Bridal Prep", etc. That's where I'm stuck. I can get Weddings/Bride-and-Groom, but from there it just puts all my pictures into the folder. My friend who was trying to help me has it set up the way I want mine to, so I know it's possible, but she said that her setup looks different than mine. Please help me figure this out!

Thanks!

Hard to help without a link to your site. Do you have the galleries/category
box set to "display by category"?

I think you're are looking for too many levels, Smug only has three. If
Wedding is a category and "Bride and Groom" is a sub-cat you'll only see
galleries in a sub-cat. You will have to name your sub-cat with the couples
name so their galleries can be in it.
