What I'm trying to do is keep all my stuff in one box to keep everything simple. Since I have added sub-categories to my "Texas" gallery. That gallery has been moved to the top of my galleries page in a separate box labeled "categories - subcategories".
So is it possible to move this back with the rest of the galleries? I hope I explained myself well, as it is difficult to explain what I am trying to do.
Thanks for your help!! :)

As you have your site now, I think you are better off not having the "Texas" sub-category at all.
You only have two galleries in it and you don't have that many galleries on your page so the whole page would work better if you just took the Texas and Capitol galleries, gave them names like "Texas" and "Texas Capitol" and just let them be on the same page as the rest of your galleries by getting rid of their sub-category. This is because Smugmug's layout seems to work best when either everything is by category or nothing is by category. As you've noticed, it looks strange to have some things by category, but other things not.
If you want to keep with the new Texas categories, then you can't completely mingle the categories and galleries as they are in separate CSS containers, but you can blend them visually. The following CSS will remove the line between them, get rid of the categories sub-categories text and pull the spacing together:
#subcategoriesBox {
border-bottom:none !important;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#subcategoriesBox .boxTop {display:none;}
That CSS makes it look like this:

I see what you mean. Well I will likely have more galleries in the Texas group, that's why I had set that up as is.
I have input the CSS you wrote, and that seemed to do exactly what you had said. So I will keep that. The balance is a little odd, but will do ;) Thanks a lot for your help! Greatly appreciate it!
