Hello all...I'm a very uneducated newcomer to all this html and css stuff...so first let me say God Bless you all for the copy/paste codes you put out here. They are wonderful!
However...I had my slideshow working OK and my Gallery page finally showing up on a different page then my homepage. In trying to "pretty up" the slideshow, I copied in the following code. Now when I hit "edit" on the bio box, it does not bring up a window for me to change anything in, and when I hit the "Galleries" link on my navbar, they no longer show up either.
I can't figure out how to fix this one! :dunno
here's the code: (And thanks if you can help!)
GOTCHA:
Add Text To Your Bio So Your Search Results Look Better
So, if you are using this cool flash slideshow in your bio, you will want to also add some text (that will be hidden) so that your searches on SmugMug do not look like this. It will also keep a Google (http://wiki.smugmug.com/display/SmugMug/Maximize+Search+Engine+Findability) search from picking up only the slideshow code in the bio and will, instead, show your text first.

To get around this, add some text to your bio, above the slideshow, and hide it using CSS.
<html><div id="bioText">ADD A FEW LINES OF TEXT HERE. REMEMBER, WHATEVER YOU ADD HERE WILL PARTLY SHOW IN THE SEARCH RESULTS.</div>********>Rest of slideshow code.</********</html>
Then, in your CSS code in your customization, add this:
#bioText {display: none;}
Now, the search results will look like this:
