    Yes, just create a new page from the Organize menu, then customise it to add a Discovery/Map widget, a Discovery/Keyword Cloud widget and a Photo/Multiple Photos widget which is configured to show your popular photos.

    Can't you just create your own custom page, give it whatever URL you want and drop those widgets onto it? I guess the question is whether those widgets are all available to put on a page? Under the Discovery option, I see map, keyword cloud and search box. I don't see popular photos anywhere.

    Ahhh, it looks like you can go to the popular photos page and then customize it by making it into a custom page and then dropping the other items onto it.

    I reproduced the page as much as I could despite the differences with the 'new' SmugMug. I hope you like it! http://soulgazephotography.smugmug.com/SmugMug-Website/Brandofamily/n-nLbHH

    Go to organize and create a page. Title it whatever you want and save it. While viewing the page, click 'customize'. Ensure your view is on the green 'this page' customization menu.

    1. Drag the following content blocks via 'discovery': map and keywords.
    2. Drag the 'photo' > 'multiple photos' content block to the right of the map.
    3. Drag an html content block and put it to the left of the keyword content block. Type nothing. For me, it disappeared, but the keywords were below popular photos as with the page we are duplicating.
    4. Don't forget to fill in the text for the content block's titles!

    The options were default except with the popular photos content block:
    Action on click: open lightbox, layout: grid, Photo size: small, aspect ratio: 3:4, spacing: 24px, 1 row spacing, pagination: on, pagination: click.

    I was unable to recreate the tiny squares, but the way the page is set up, you can 'view more' and keep browsing. They click the photo and the lightbox opens rather than to leave the search page, but you can change that to go to the gallery. I am accessing photos that I have keyworded 'featured' for this. At this time, I'm not sure how to pull from a popular photos. So I just titled it Popular Photos and those with 'featured' a keyword are those that are the most popular and my best work. Same concept for me, but hopefully someone can comment with a way to access popular photos that I missed if you prefer to pull from those.

    Let me know if you need a more detailed explanation. Good luck! :D
