Website linking to galleries with RSS.

Hi. I am trying to link the Smug to our website using the RSS feed as i was told is the best option.
I see the recent photos, etc... options. This seems to be is NOT what i need.
Here are my questions.
1. How can i link my Smug CHOSEN galleries with website else, which will get the chronological population with new items as we go. :scratch
2. How may i let people see certain "marked"/"allowed" galleries of ones' clients and not the others'.
For example I don't want my clients who's kids i just photographed go and also see cars and greasy, dirty car parts, no beauty there. I do know about "Unlisted" option. Will that work if i create the Website link/feed?
3. How can i start grouping the galleries by Theme? Dogs, Cats, travel, etc.?

Please help me, tell me how to do that. I know Picasa offers that. I do NOT want to use the Picasa.

1. You can use feeds to populate images on another site or the 'show off' feature.

2. Adding a password to the galleries will limit access to only those with the proper password.

3. Categories.

Thank you Rich!

I read the link about the feeds. Let me get this. If i have five galleries on Smug, i link those to the website and as soon as i add the sixth, seventh and the later ones ones they will appear as a galleries on the website just as they show-up as a thumbnail on the Smugmug?
And i want only my particular gallerys to be fed to the website linked with RSS, so there will be no other photos of unknown to me photogs. Am i getting this right?

It all depends on what specific feed you use. The 'user' feeds are specific to your own site (or any other site you specify). Feeds are generated automatically depending the settings of your galleries. If you set galleries public with no password, enable external links and hello world, the gallery and its photos should show up in the feeds. That way you can control what galleries and photos come up in your public feeds.
You can find the different settings in the gallery settings > security&privacy section of a gallery:
