Hello. I am tired of my web and trying to shake some things around. I was hoping to have my photo as a background and then three featured gallery images (linked to galleries) on the left side. I tried playing with the sierra design (because I like my links on top),but cannot figure out how to move featured galleries from center to left. Help please! Attaching image.

    It doesn't look like the photo I attached. I was messing around with it and I don't like the way it looks right now. The photo attached above is what I would like it to look like. HEre is the link

    Here is screenshot of what I did to try and replicate what you are wanting.

    Is that what you were wanting? If so what I did is move the photo content block over by placing an empty content block to the right of it. It made the galleries show up on the left side. I also made sure to change the layout to vertical in the content block settings to make them show in a column. I did not save the changes yet so please let me know if that would work before I hit save or cancel.

    It sounds like Heather is on track to help you with the code.

    I have a question for you though. Where do you want your viewers to look? With the background you are planning to use my eyes are drawn to the people in the background and not to the gallery images. In my mind using a background image works if it isn't overlaid with other photos. As soon as a site starts confusing my eyes with images on top of images I usually close the site. I know, I know, that's me and not everyone. Just a thought...

    Thank you very much for your help. Denise, you are right, I reworked it in my head and decided its too busy. Thank you heather very much for your help. I truly appreciate it and now I feel guilty for waisting your time. I am attaching what I have settled on. Thank you again

    I agree with Denise about the old look being busy but did not want to burst your bubble about what you wanted to do. :)

    Your new idea so much cleaner and less distracting. I love it. I looks so much more polished that way.

    I like the new look much better.

    One thing you might want to do is to remove the smugmug pro header.

    Some bubbles are meant to be popped. ;)
