I just migrated to the new smug mug. When I try to customize my homepage (as far as I've gotten) there isn't any button or link to push to save my changes, specifically when I want to change the photos that are displayed or the format. I've seen on tutorials that there should be a done button at the bottom of the black tool box but even after reloading my page does not have this. Thanks for any help!

    It should be at the top of your page. There's a giant green bar. It says "Settings", "Preview" or "Done".

    I know but when I click on them a message pops up that there are changes that have not been saved and not to continue until I do save them. So I am assuming there is another place to save before clicking done at the top right.

    Ahh... SM seems to have confused you. No, the green bar at the top with "Done" is how you save. You can choose to "Save for Later" or you can "Publish".

    Note that Publish and Unveil are different. If you haven't unveiled yet, publishing is how you get your changes to show up when you view your site. Typically what I do is make a change, click publish to see it, then make more changes, click publish again. Make another change, if I don't like it, I can say "Discard changes" to undo the change. So I do it in pieces until I'm happy.

    Once you've unveiled, it becomes a bit harder. You'll have to use "Preview" even though preview has some issues (it always takes you to your homepage, instead of whatever page you were working on. So it makes it annoying to try out changes).

    Hope that helps. Feel free to click done :)

    Haha I feel like an idiot. My browser window wasn't big enough so I couldn't see the "done" button at the bottom of the multiple photos box.

    Thanks for the help!
