Main gallery pics point to sub-galleries?

Hi,

I'm new here and I don't know if this is possible but: In my gallery I will have a collection entitled 'Flowers and Fungi of Southern Spain'. I will exhibit several shots of each species. What I want to do within the gallery/collection is to make a sub-collection/gallery for each species so that only one picture of each species is shown (selectable I hope) in the primary gallery so the person viewing may click on a species that interests them and view a sub-collection of all thumbnails of that species each of which could be clicked for the full image. Possible?? How do I set this up?

Cheers,

Brian.

Organization on smug is done via categories and subcategories.

> categories contain galleries and optionally subcategories
>> subcategories contain galleries
>>> galleries contain photos

See http://www.smugmug.com/help/upload-photo and http://www.smugmug.com/help/arrange-albums.

So your 'Flowers and Fungi of Southern Spain' could be defined as a category, with subcategories representing the types of flowers.

Thanks Denise. Is there a way to set up a link from an upper gallery so that when a photo in an upper gallery is clicked then a lower gallery will open? I would then have a separate lower gallery for each set of pictures pertaining to each picture in the upper gallery.

If you click on a subcategory and that galley is assigned to the subcategory then the gallery will open.

If you intend to have only one gallery in each subcategory then I would recommend not using subcategories - just use categories and galleries.
