quick question before I start

Finally getting around to making the switch to the new SM. Will I have to re upload all my pics in my galleries?

Thanks

No. Your galleries and photos stay, and your categories and subcategories become folders in new smug.

Thanks Denise. That good to know. Now I won't have to spend the afternoon putting all those pics back on my computer. Feel free to delete this thread

Thanks again.

This is a valid question that many converting would be interested in.

If you use the link /browse you'll see your file structure is the same as Legacy.
This link shows all your top level folders, categories in Legacy. Drill down to a
gallery and watch the breadcrumb.

Every page on NewSmug can be modified (customized). On my /browse page I changed the box to show "Items I Choose".
I chose my public folders (categories) to display. I did not include categories like Other or Family.

Good point, Allen. Because I have another quick question. It seems the best way is to go head and switch, and then do the customizing, right? I haven't shot any sports for awhile, so its not going to hurt if my site is a little out of whack for a few days.

Yelp, people are thinking it out way too far. I spent most of my time in sandbox going back and forth
getting all the html/text type pages working. Everything else was pretty much straight forward, making
everything look nice.

Thanks Allen. I just made the switch. I'll get started making changes in a day or two. Not looking to do much, just wanting to set it up like my original site. Home page with a non full size slide show, email link, and navbar. I'll see what I can do on my own before asking for help. Instead of starting another thread when I need help, I'll just bump this one.

Thanks again.

On my other site, I had an "email me" link at the bottom. It's not showing up on new site, and I can't seem to find out how to do it. in the FAQ link.

If you are referring to a mailto link that will only work if the viewer who is attempting to use it has an email client set up on the computer. A better answer is to use a contact form, and luckily there is one built into smug.

To use the smugmug contact form, see http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1248294-how-do-i-create-a-contact-page-.

A stock photo is used on the form until you set up a profile photo on your site. Instructions are on this help page - http://help.smugmug.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1266248-how-do-i-replace-the-silhouette-headshot-photo-with-my-own-?b_id=1644.
