For the Galleries that you create in order to make a slideshow and text pages such as "About" and "Services" is there a way to hid those galleries so that they dont show up in my galleries section? I would like it so that potential customers wouldnt see those galleries i used to make site features in my "Gallery" section.
Anther problem i have encountered is that in my NavBar when i go to my about link and then from that link click on the galleries link it takes me to the Smugmug homepage not my own homepage? Not sure what i have done wrong there?

www.stonerphoto.com
stonerphoto.smugmug.com
These are my links to my site if that can help.

Thanks and Any Help Immensely Appreciated

Make the galleries unlisted and they won't show in your galleries page, but you can still link to them.

For the link that isn't working, change the URL from:

stonerphoto.com/galleries (http://www.dgrin.com/view-source:http://www.stonerphoto.com/stonerphoto.com/galleries)

to:

/galleries (http://www.dgrin.com/view-source:http://www.stonerphoto.com/stonerphoto.com/galleries)

Thanks, changing my URL to /galleries alleviated that problem. Though it seems when i unlist my slideshow gallery it takes my slideshow off of my front page? Also now my header which i set to when clicked on to take me back to my homepage is now taking me to the smugmug frontpage? Again, thanks the help is awesome.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand either of these issues that you are describing.

An unlisted gallery is like an unlisted phone number. If someone knows the number (or URL in this case), they can get right in, but it's not listed in the directory (or on the homepage or galleries page, in this case).

Your homepage slideshow is set for clickToImage so it goes to the gallery of the image that is showing when you click on it. That seems to be working fine for me.

Alright, ill try to explain my one problem better. I want the banner/header on my webpage to click link back to my homepage but it doesnt do that when i click on my banner from my about section rather it takes me back to the smugmug.com site homepage? Hope this is clearer. I have my header set to go to stonerphoto.com in the easy customizer.

That's because you linked to "stonerphoto.com". That is a relative link and the browser will take the current page's URL and put this on the end of it instead of the last part of the URL. That is clearly not what you want. You should link to the full URL:

http://www.stonerphoto.com/
