Help Duplicating Legacy Look on New Smugmug

fotoeffects

I'd like to keep the look and feel of my current smugmug legacy site, which is located at http://fotoeffects.smugmug.com. I have a custom banner at the top of my home page, which is followed by a slide show, which is followed by my favorites and then a list of my galleries. I'd like to take advantage of the new organizational tools but I like the way my legacy site looks. I find the new tools to be very clumsy and difficult to use, probably because I don't know how to use them. Nonetheless, the tutorials on the smugmug help are not detailed enough to really be helpful.

Can you give me some tips with regard to how I can do this. I've already spent a lot of time on my site, getting everything set up for purchase, copyright, sorting, etc. I have a gigantic site with thousands of images and redoing every gallery's settings from scratch is extremely daunting.

Off the top of my head, edit your Homepage to have the following elements, top to bottom:
Photo->Single Photo
Discovery->Search Box
Navigation->Menu
Photo->Slideshow
Photo->Multiple Photos then select "Popular photos" under the Multiple Photos setting
Navigation->Galleries

I'm not sure what the bit right at the bottom is asking for a password though?

then for the galleries, I think you can get away with standard Smugmug style for a first draft.
