Hi, just need some more help with all this customization for my smugmug.
Like probably almost everyone with smugmug, I love the design of Andy's Moon River Photography site. Also am a fan of Mike Lane Studios. Simplicity is what I'm looking for.
So my questions at the moment:
-Once I redo my logo, how do I align it with the navbar (both on the same line)?
-How can I stretch my slideshow on my homepage, and get rid of that icky border?
-How do I eliminate "emmawilloughbyphotography (http://emmawilloughbyphotography.smugmug.com/) > Other (http://emmawilloughbyphotography.smugmug.com/Other) > About Me" from my About Me and Rates/Contact pages? For that matter, how do I get rid of thos navigation displays from all my pages?
-How do I eliminate "Gallery pages: 1" display on About Me and Rates/Contact pages?
My website is: www.emmawilloughbyphotography.smugmug.com (http://www.emmawilloughbyphotography.smugmug.com)
Sorry for the bombarding of questions; just decided I needed to post a thread to finally get help!
Thanks so much!

This will increaqse it to 800px wide, if going bigger change the container CSS size below about 20px wider.
In your biobox set the show size to 800x600.
SM.flash.insertSlideshow(800, 600, ssConfig, 'transparent');
Add this to your CSS
#homepage,
#bioBox {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 820px;
}
#bioBox {border: none;}
/* about gallery */
.gallery_7218763 #albumNav_top,
.gallery_7218763 #albumNav_bottom,
.notLoggedIn .gallery_7218763 #breadcrumb {display: none;}
Add this to remove it site wide.
.notLogedIn #breadCrumbTrail {display: none;}
One thing I noticed is the text on the about page is coming out the back of the head, not good practice, should be looking into or towards the text. See this page (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3819841) for another method of creating this type of html gallery. The photo can be flipped to the other side.

I originally had IE7 when I designed my site. I used the Easy Customizer to choose fonts and their colors for my breadcrumbs and gallery titles. Now that I have IE8, the font and colors are not what I have chosen in the Customizer. I assume I will have to write some code to change this, but need help. I had chosen GEORGIA font with a pink color, now it is ARIAL (I think) and white. Kinda blah. Any help?
Also, I have managed to redo a lot of my customization to look good in IE8 rather than IE7 so hopefully it doesn't look horrible for those who still have IE7...
But, what about Firefox, Safari, and others? How do I know what they look like there and if/when there is a potential problem with the way clients are viewing my site?
