Hi all

I am very close, I have started to add text only pages but the method is not neat.

On my home page there is a category "artwork" that contains the galleries, the galleries that contain the html tect pages that I have made.

This means that visitors to the site can see those galleries, is there a way to hide them or am I pushing the system?

    Mark -
    If you set the galleries to private then they will only display if you link directly to them. So they won't show on your galleries page, but they could be linked from your navbar. (If you want to see an example - my About & Kaleidoscope pages are in a category called Other that contains only private galleries. So that category isn't shown on my galleries page.)

    Also - you might want to remove the breadcrumb on those pages. See # 26 in the advanced customization FAQ: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52811. I would recommend only removing the breadcrumb from those specific pages and not from all of your galleries - you'll need to scroll down in that post to see the per gallery code.
