Need help to start customization

Loco Alvarez · October 13, 2015

Hello
I am looking for some guidance, as I don't know where to start to customize my website.
I am looking for something very simple for the home page: Logo and menu on the left side, and a slide show on the right, white background.
I've looked within the different designs and DINA design seems to be a good start.
Now, is customization guide for each different design? or how should I start?

I am lost :dunno, help

This is the website I am trying to customize https://javiereduardo.smugmug.com

Thanks a lot

Your site looks good!
Why don't you visit the many many new sites that folks post on this thread:
http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=237680
and see what you like or might want to try. If you see something you like, start a new thread on this forum, asking, "How do I do X".

You can also look on these sites for ideas:

Looks like you have a good start. It appears you have a multiple photos content block on the right instead of a slideshow. Delete it and add a slideshow content block in its place.

Start there, if you need more help, check back in.

OK, so I think I have figured out how to do most of what I want, the only thing that I can't figure out how to do, is a guest book

Is there a tutorial or info that can help me with this?

Thanks

See the "Create a Guestbook Page" section on the help page at How do I create and customize pages?.

Thank you Denise

That helped to create the Guestbook, however, a visitor needs to sign in to leave a comment. Is there a way to avoid that??

Thank you

Unfortunately there isn't - and that's the reason I no longer have a guestbook on my site.

There is a feature request logged for this at http://feedback.smugmug.com/forums/17723-smugmug/suggestions/4262376-remove-smugmug-facebook-log-in-requirements-for-co but based on comments in threads here on dgrin (by representatives of SmugMug) I don't expect sign-in-free comments to be enabled in smug.
