Publishing from Lightroom into 'My SmugMug Site Files' gallery

Hello,
New to this forum and new to SmugMug.
I am tinkering with customizing a little.
One of the things I have done is create a banner/header picture.
Since I am using Lightroom to all my archiving and developing and publishing I would like to publish my banner pic to SmugMug as well through a Lightroom publish collection.
However, SmugMug needs the banner pic in the 'My SmugMug Site Files' gallery which is created by SmugMug. Would anybody know if there is a way that you can make Lightroom publish a collection into that SmugMug gallery...? Tried using the SmugMug 'url name' as collection/gallery name in LR but that doesn't work. SmugMug than creates a new gallery which it names/codes with an index.
What gallery name or code should I use for the LR publish collection/gallery to get the photos published into 'My SmugMug Site Files' ?
Thanks !

Just leave the gallery in tact as it is or it will be recreated.
All galleries on SmugMug should also show up in your SmugMug publish service within Lightroom. Just check the category tree of the SmugMug publish section. By default the gallery is in the other category, I think.
Note that photos uploaded outside of the SmugMug publish service in your Lightroom catalog won't show in Lightroom. Lightroom currently can only display photos published through our publish service.

Not sure if I understand (wow, speedy answer by the way...:-)
The SmugMug created galleries (like 'My SmugMug Site Files' indeed under Other) do now show up in Lightroom with me. Is there some way that SmugMug synchronizes categories and/or Galleries back to Lightroom? Where in LR should I then find this My SmugMug Site Files gallery....?
The other way around: Is there any naming convention or code that I can use for a Gallery/Collection in LR SM Publish service that then in effect publishes the photos in it to this SM created Gallery...?

No, Lightroom will only show the photos that you uploaded within your Lightroom catalog. The publish service doesn't sync back any photos uploaded outside of Lightroom at this point.
To upload to any existing gallery from Lightroom, just drag the photo(s) that gallery. Here's a screenshot:

But do you know if and how you can upload to SM's existing 'My SmugMug Site Files' gallery...? That gallery is in SM's category 'Other'.
Would it work if in LR I would create the category Other and then a collection 'My SmugMug Site Files'...?
As soon as I find the time will check/test myself.

The site files gallery should be showing up in lightroom along with all of your other galleries. No need to do anything special. I'm assuming in lightroom's smugmug settings, you need to have "sync hierarchy" checked. Hit that sync button and see if the gallery shows up.

Much obliged!
