Help with hiding gallieries

[Lisa91]

1. I am in the process of updating my site. Is there any way to hide some of the galleries until I am finished what I'm doing. This way if anyone visits they will see a finished project.

2. I need some definations on the use of the words:
Portfolio
Galleries
Gallery
As used in pricing your photos?
If I set a price to my portfolio does that mean that any photo on my site now have a price when it is uploaded or do I need to redo my portfolio each time I upload photos?

3. I have only been on smugmug and dgrin for a year and a half, I am not even close to where most of you started out. I have been taking classes on photography, lighting. The question here is if there is a place for people like me to go. (like a do this before you call me link) I use the search lots. I have read and even printed out most of the articles on the smugmug help section. I read the forum and add anything that I feel is important to my favorites. I just don't want to be a bother.

4. Is there a way to have some of you give me CC on my phots without me going to the whipping post?

ok, I have taken up enough of you time. Thanks for the help.
Have a wonderful day.

If you set the galleries you want to hide to unlisted (instead of public), they will not show unless you explicitely give someone a direct link (although they will continue to show for you when you are logged in).

Have you seen this pricing help page - http://www.smugmug.com/help/print-pricing? If you set the pricing at a portfolio level, all photos in all galleries will "inherit" that price unless you explicitly apply a different price to a gallery or photo. You do not need to redo pricing when you upload photos.

Thanks, that was so fast.

Once I set a portfolio, that is what is in effect until I set a gallery or image price. right?

also any photo I upload will have a price because I set a portfolio price no matter when that upload happens? right?

That's what I said in my answer above. And that's what the help page that I sent you to says. Did you even look at the page I linked above? From the smug pricing page (link in my previous post):
You can price at three levels. We recommend that you start by pricing at the portfolio level. Portfolio pricing applies to every printable image on your SmugMug site.

yes I read the link and I read your answer.
I was just trying to confirm that I understood it all.
Sorrry for bothering you again.
Maybe there is a better site for me to be at than smugmug and dgrin?
If you have any suggestions that would be great.

thanks for your help.

I don't think there's a better spot for you to be.

Please understand, it is extremely frustrating to give someone an answer and get exactly the same question that was asked before in response. If you don't understand part of an answer, say you don't understand and need clarification. No one minds answering again in that case. But asking the exact same question a second time makes me wonder why I took the time to answer it in the first place.

Keep asking questions.
