My information/about me page is a gallery page with four images, set to journal style. There are some things that apply to all four galleries that the images represent, then there are some things that are specific to each of the galleries. For example, my session fees will be different for weddings than it will for portraits, but the print prices will be the same.

I am wanting to put the info that applies to all the galleries and my contact info at the top, which I managed, but when I typed it, I wanted it too look a little cleaner than it does now. Is there a better way to put that text/info in there than putting it in the gallery description?

Putting it in the gallery description is the right way to do it. If you put <html> before what you put in the gallery description and </html> at the end, then you can use your own HTML formatting to make it look as nice as you would like. You will have to take responsibility for all formatting including new lines since Smugmug will just be passing your HTML right through to the browser without any processing.

If you turn off Easy Sharing for this gallery and turn off print ordering for this gallery, the Share button and Buy/Cart buttons will go away.

You may also want to add this CSS to your customization to hide the gallery navigation:

.gallery_7097201 .pageNav, .gallery_7097201 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7097201 #slideshowButton {display:none;}

I don't suppose you might be able to point me in the direction of where I can find some HTML to do what I want?:-)

I feel like I am approaching the final stages of this site, cleaning up the details and stuff and I appreciate the help in finding those details that I need to hit. Thanks again!

That depends upon what you want. Can you describe it?

Ok, so I put that CSS to remove the slideshow button, it worked, so I went and put it on all my galleries because I really didn't want it there anyway.

But, in my portraits galleries, it's not working

Here is that particular set of code for all the galleries
.gallery_7097201 .pageNav, .gallery_7097201 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7097201 #slideshowButton {display:none;}
.gallery_7079556 .pageNav, .gallery_7079556 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7079556 #slideshowButton {display:none;}
.gallery_7079239 .pageNav, .gallery_7079239 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7079239 #slideshowButton {display:none;}
.gallery_7023914.pageNav, .gallery_7023914 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7023914 #slideshowButton {display:none;}.
.gallery_7088504 .pageNav, .gallery_7088504 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7088504 #slideshowButton {display:none;}
.gallery_7077909 .pageNav, .gallery_7077909 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7077909 #slideshowButton {display:none;}
.gallery_6848234 .pageNav, .gallery_6848234 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_6848234 #slideshowButton {display:none;}

Can you tell me what I did wrong?

That depends upon what you want. Can you describe it?I want the ordering prints to be in a larger font. I want all that information left justified like it is, and I would like to have the two columns like I do now, but without the dots to seperate and make them even.

On the right I would like to be able to put my contact information, right justified.

Also, question...Is there ANY way to enable sharing for ME, but not for others? Or should I just keep the images I want to share in "private" (unlinked) galleries?

ETA: Nevermind the last question, I figured out what I meant. Thanks!

If you just don't want the slideshow button in any gallery, you can hide it everywhere with one line:

#slideshowButton {display:none;}

FYI, one of your previous lines of CSS had two errors in it (which is probably why it didn't work):

.gallery_7023914.pageNav, .gallery_7023914 #breadCrumbTrail, .gallery_7023914 #slideshowButton {display:none;}.

There has to be a space before the ".pageNav" and there cannot be a stray period at the end. This is computer language stuff that has to be perfect syntax in order to work (computers are really dumb about this).

You can enable sharing for just yourself by enabling Easy Sharing for your galleries and adding this line of CSS:

.notLoggedIn #shareButton {display:none;}

Hmmm. You're looking for some custom HTML formatted text. That isn't something I generally do, but perhaps some others on the forum will create it for you. It sounds like you want a two column table and some basic formatting. You could also look up the <table> tag in Google and start reading some of the simpler tutorials.

Or sometimes people make what they want in an editor that can save HTML (like Microsoft Word), save it to an HTML file (not a Word file), open the resulting file in a text editor like notepad (not in Word itself) and copy out the actual HTML for the <table> definition that it put in the file. You don't want the contents of the whole file because it has a lot of other junk that will mess up Smugmug, but you can sometimes take small pieces of generated HTML from the middle of the file.

Thank you so much for your help! It's lunch time now, will be making more changes when I get back from lunch.

It's much harder to remember to take lunch breaks and such when you are working for yourself...

Ok, so I tried to set up what I wanted in front page and then copy the code, but it didn't come out right. So I tried to center the two columns, which resulted in what you see here.

http://thatspecialmoment.smugmug.com/gallery/7097201_Yj8jf

Any way to fix that? I really would like the print prices justified to the left and the contact info justified to the right. Is there any way to do that?
