Help on My Front Page Slide Show Please

[KJ_Anthony]

I'm Kelly Jo, my site is http://kjanthony.smugmug.com (http://kjanthony.smugmug.com/), and I'm using MSIE 7.0 on Windows XP.

I am trying to spice up my website and thought I was doing pretty good, but it isn't looking so good...

I have gone through the forums, tried to follow tutorials, pasted codes all over the place and can't get
it to work...

Can you help me figure out where I went wrong???

Five main problems when you go to me as a visitor:

1) The Navigation bar has a white bar over it. This is left over from when it used to say 'Kelly Jo's Home.' I managed to
get rid of that, just not the bar...

2) I am trying to set up the Navigation bar so that they go to a separate page to see all my galleries, which they used to see
on my home page.

3) There is no right click protection on my slide show.... but, it doesn't seem to allow them to print either which is good. When I right click on it comes up with Adobe Flash Player Settings

4) If you click on a slide during the slide show it doesn't take me to my galleries page, which as I explained in step 2 I couldn't get to work either

5) How do I change the background on my pages and slide show to be black?

Yikes! I know it is a lot of questions, but I really appreciate all your help... I just got in a little over my head.

Respectfully,

Add a little padding to the bottom of your navbar to get it to show above the white box from your theme:

#navcontainer ul {
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 20px;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}

The reason you can't jump to your galleries page is because your html is incorrect. You have
<li><a href="/Galleries">Galleries</a></li>
but your CSS refers to galleries. CSS is case-sensitive. Change your html to this
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
The most straightforward way to change your background to black is to change to a theme with a black background, or to remove the theme entirely and set the background color to dark in your site-wide customization screen.

The reason a click on your slideshow doesn't take the viewer to your galleries page is because you told it to go to your homepage with this slideshow parameter:
clickUrl: 'www.kjanthony.smugmug.com',
Change that to
clickUrl: '/galleries',

I just want to say thanks to Denise who responded to my post. It was appreciated. I will be putting her suggestions to work later tonight or tomorrow.

Have a good night.
