Help needed: Smaller font for "Social Link"

TerenceYam · January 3, 2014

Hi Smugmug friends,

I am a part-time photographer shooting sports and documentary for magazines and events. Happy to be here and thanks Smugmug for the new customization tools. They are great.

With my extremely limited programming knowledge (I don't know how to set CSS or complicated HTML code), I am trying to use the customization tools to make my website looks less "unprofessional" :rofl.

It seems to work well, except that the font size （”Follow me on:) above the social media links looks too bad to me. I want to make it look more subtle. However, there is no font size option for the text in that social media link section. (please see below)

Does anyone know how can I make it smaller? If it's not possible, I may simply remove the text and use the buttons only.

Questions:
1. Anyone know how to make the text smaller?
2. If I simply put the buttons there without the text, would you know what that means?
3. Any comments or suggestions to my site are welcome (please note most of the links are inactive now) :bow

I would remove the words if it were my site. In fact I would probably move the social links to the footer. As it is right now it looks like you want to steer folks away from your site.

You should also take a look at your site on different sized devices. There are some cases before the menu collapses automatically where the menu is stacked and overlaps your logo. That's not very professional looking. You can experiment with your site on different device sizes at http://quirktools.com/screenfly.

If I might be bold to make another observation.
Your "portfolio" and "gallery" links go to the same page which also seems just to be your home page.
Not sure about the thinking/logic in this.

In addition to the (very good) point made by AceCo55 above, your blog link goes no where. If you have a blog include the link in your menu. If you don't, remove it!

I just tried clicking to each of the galleries shown on your home page. The only one that took me anywhere is "about".

And your "let's talk" link won't work if someone doesn't have an email client set up on their machine.
