How do you control the image display size?

More specifically were I have on image on a page with text, and want the image to take up more of the page, how is this accomplished?

As always a link to what you are trying to do makes it a lot easier for us to help. If this is your own HTML that you've put an image in, then you can just link to a larger size of the image (go to the Share button to get the links for the different sizes). If it's something else, then I will need to look at the specific page you are asking about.

If it's a page you're building with html, you can use custom image sizes in addition to the "default" sizes. See http://www.smugmug.com/help/custom-photo-sizes.

The example I am talking about is at: http://samlinvillephotography.smugmug.com/gallery/7104074_wuhLj/1/455869910_pdFi8

I just want to display this image larger, and understand how to do this with other images as the need arises.

Denise,

Thanks for responding. I have read the info you linked to, but while I am sure this is dirt simple for you, for many of us who think Java is coffee, and HTML is some kind of offensive slang term used by the in crowd, it ain't all that clear. :D

Sam -
Sorry, I didn't mean to cause confusion. I only wanted to let you know that you can specify a size for your photo to display if you want to use something other than a standard smug style.

It looks like that gallery is a journal-style gallery. The code I mentioned would be used if you explicitly referenced a photo for display. You might do that in conjuction with an html-only gallery like the one that Allen references in his tutorial at http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3819841. If you want to use the same gallery that you already have set up but construct the look that you want instead of using a defined gallery style, you can hide the standard photo display but reference the photo with html. It would be helpful to know what kind of look you are after.

For example, if you add this to your CSS it will remove the current side-by-side display of photo and caption, but it will leave the photo in the gallery:
.notLoggedIn .gallery_7104074 .journal_entry {
display: none;
}
Then in the gallery description, if you add this it will show a centered larger photo followed by text:

<html>
<center>
<img src="http://samlinvillephotography.smugmug.com/photos/455869910_pdFi8-650x650.jpg"> (http://samlinvillephotography.smugmug.com/photos/455869910_pdFi8-650x650.jpg%22%3E)
<br><br>
enter all of the text you want here, divided by <br> for line breaks.

If you post what you want to see in this forum, someone can help you construct the html you need for a nice looking page.
</center>
</html>

Or you can continue to use the journal-style gallery and still get some help formatting the text you want to place on that page.

On another topic, I suspect you're going to want to use a minimal SmugMug footer on your page. Options for that are shown in the answer to # 16 in the customization FAQ at http://www.smugmug.com/help/customize-faq.

Hi Denise,

I am going to try and see if I understand what you wrote.

I am going to post 2 images that may give you an idea of where I am trying go.

The first is how it exists now.

Andy,

I didn't see an "About Me" tab / page on your demo site.

If your referring to a blog, well maybe later, but first I need to the Smugmug site up and running.

I only have a few days left to make this work, and I really, really want it to work.

The page doesn't have to be exact. This was a direction to balance out the page a little.

But I admit to getting VERY frustrated.

I have been trying add a custom banner per ivar's tutorial, but it don't work!!!

I have added the following code to the CSS file: #my_banner {
width: 750px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://wwwsamlinvillephotography.smugmug.com/photos/456001189_wrhb5-O.ipg) no-repeat;
}

And this code to the header box: <div id="my_banner"> </div>

This did make a space at the top, but no banner appears.

As I posted before, for those who understand this HTML / Jave stuff, OK, but how the great unwashed like me are getting their sites up and running is becoming a mystery rivaled only by the pyramids.

You can have more trial days, we happily extend as needed.

Sorry :D

I was working on the site (basically trying to learn how to things) when I looked up, and saw my trial banner in place.

Unfortunately I over reacted a tad, and commenced to wailing unintelligible things, and banging my head against the wall.

After I get back from the hospital, and call the dry wall repair man, I will again attempt working on this.

I will be a pain in the axx for a while, but once I get it going I think help will only be needed sporadically.

As for days.......................it's not you, or the exact trial days, but how long I can endure. :D

Oh.....THANKS!

Sam
