The last time I attempted this on my own.... I messed everything up.

REALLY BADLY!

Want I want to do is add a link on my navbar that is "Graphic Design Services" that will take people to a page that has my pricing for my graphic design stuff. I also want to be able to have something in there that they can click that will take them to examples of some of my stuff.

Any help would be SO appreciated!

Do you have a direct link to your "Graphic Design Services" page?

You could make another category & call it: Graphic Design Services. And then make a few new galleries, however many you need, and put them under that category....

I agree... but I don't really know how!

.....once you get it organized how you want, and make those new galleries, we'll hook em up to your nav-bar..I think a drop-down would work good with all the other stuff on your nav-bar...some sweet designs by the way! :thumb

Also check your "Pricing & Information" gallery...under the "customize gallery" button- make sure that "Appearance" is set to "custom" and that "hide owner" is set to "no".

Ok, so I created a new gallery under "Other" called Graphic Design Services. The drop down navbar that you are talking about sounds fancy. :) I like fancy!

So..... what now?

There are a few different ways of doing this, if you want to add more things to the Graphic Design Service gallery, I would rename it to maybe services, and change "other" to Graphic Design. That would make Graphic Design your category and services as a gallery under that category.

As to the page set-up, you could take that image you made from photoshop, and use it as a page...look here for an example: http://www.joerallen.com/gallery/4889354_FSkbF

Now to decide if you want a drop-down or not, look here for some help on getting started:

Might look a little intimidating, but just take your time, and you'll get it, if not, halla back with your ?'s

If you just want to add another link in your nav-bar, just add another line:

<li><a href="type the URL Here">type button word here</a></li>

Your nav-bar with bold added:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/4842605_ZquE6">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/4842609_aSCno">Pricing &amp; Information</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/4842617_5otdP">Guestbook</a></li>
<li><a href="/Client%20Proofing">Online Proofing</a></li>
<li><a href="type the URL Here">type button word here</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="my_banner"> </div>


Good luck, ask for help in this thread to keep track of all your customization. :thumb

Ok, got that down. Now, when someone clicks onto my link in my navbar... I want to be able to add something that says "See Some Examples" that is clickable that when clicked, will take my viewers to photos of examples of my work. Know how to do that??

Thank you so much for all your help!!!!

I see that you made a category named "other". Change this to "Graphic Design" then when viewers click on this in your nav-bar, they will be taken to a page labeled "Graphic Design". Their they can then choose which gallery to enter, i.e.- your prices gallery-your "see more examples" gallery.
It will work just like your "Senior Portraits" category, only it will be on your nav-bar, and only show the galleries you put on that page....

Is this what your looking for?

if so, you need to modify your nav-bar after you make those changes.
