Needing Help..

[facetoface]

I am a complete beginner and new to SmugMug... My sister and I are just opening our own photography studio and I have researched several other website providers and ultimately liked the possibilities with smugmug...

So, I have already created 1 gallery and now I am trying to figure out how to customize my homepage.. My first task.. a banner; I have tried several times and still no luck with getting it to work and I don't know what I am doing wrong.. My website is: facetofacephotography.smugmug.com..

Also, how do I get smugmug out of my url??

I would definitely appreciate any help or suggestions..
Ultimately, I would like to create a professional looking site for my clients to purchase from..
Thanks so much!

There is something funky going on with a theme. You have a theme that is overriding your banner CSS and applying this:

#my_banner {
width: 750px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/6188922_WwqYt/1/390366001_aENgL#390366001_aENgL) no-repeat;
}

The problem with this is that the URL is wrong. That's an URL to a page, not to an image. This is coming from a theme, not from your custom CSS. I don't know exactly what you did to cause this. Did you try to create a custom theme. If so, delete or disable it and your banner will start working again.

To get Smugmug out of your URL, you have to buy a domain name from a domain registrar and the configure it for your Smugmug site. See http://www.smugmug.com/help/professional-accounts for more info.

I think there's a "Revert to Default" option.
