Adding Galleries & Photos to Page, Not a Home Page

I would like to add the content blocks of Galleries and Folders to some web pages, other than my home page. Is there a way to do this in the new SmugMug? In the legacy Smugmug I read that there was a way to create an additional homepage with a different url and then you just modified that additional homepage similar to the way you edited the original homepage. Can this be done in the new Smugmug, or is there a more simple alternative to get the content blocks of Galleries and Folders on a web page? I am still in preview mode of the new SmugMug. I don't want to migrate until I get the site just right in the new SmugMug.

    Create a new page, then drag the content blocks that you want to the page.

    If you look at my site, Kaleidoscope and Gallery both open pages. Clicking on the entries on those pages open folders or galleries.

    Have you looked at the video on the help home page? While the title says it is for new users it still might help you make the transition from legacy to new - http://help.smugmug.com/.

    When I click on the page I want to modify, Galleries and Folders are not in my Content Blocks menu, that is why I can't just drag them into the page. I only have Galleries and Folders in my Content Blocks Menu when I am on my homepage. My browse page has galleries and folders as a default, but I want to put galleries and folders on my other pages as well. That is why I need to find a way to add them to other pages in my site.

    Did you click on "Navigation" in the "Add Content" area and expand it?

    Allen, you were right, I clicked on "Navigation" and now I see them. Not sure why I didn't see that before. Thanks, a lot. You have saved me from going home today with a headache!
