Customized SM Photo Blog

morelloville

I am having difficulty customizing a Photo Blog page within my SM site. SM Tech Support pointed me to the following tutorial: http://school.smugmug.com/SmugMug-Tips/How-to-Make-a-Photo-Blog ... Unfortunately I am not having much success formatting my Blog to match the first photo in the tutorial (which is exactly what I want). I want a basic blog with linkable pages. SM Tech Support suggested I post here to see if anyone can assist me since they cannot provide an advanced level of support.

My current SM Photo Blog looks like this: http://clickography.smugmug.com/Blog
I really want it to function like the photo example in the SM tutorial.

Many thanks in advance for your help!!

That screenshot is not of his entry blog page but of one of the pages that Michael is using for his blog. You can click to his blog at http://www.michaelbonocore.com/Blog.

As noted on the page that you linked you will need to create pages to represent your blog. In Michael's case the entry blog page contains three photos, each representing an individual blog page. You will need to build each blog page you want to use. The help page that you referenced in your post has instructions on how to create a blog page. I'd suggest that you walk though those instructions and experiment.

Using pages for a blog might be feasible if you don't plan to blog too often - it seems like a lot of work if you blog often or long. In that case you may be better off using a blogging tool like blogger or wordpress. My blog is in blogger and is styled to match my smug site.
