1. I am trying to have my home page display one large picture that I change out daily. I followed some directions I found that told me to add this code
<html><img src="URL TO YOUR PICTURE HERE"></html> to my bio box. I added the code, put what I thought was the url to the photo I wanted, but only a small white box with a red x in it is appearing. Could u view my home page too see what I mean? www.jnrphotography.smugmug.com (http://www.jnrphotography.smugmug.com) Maybe I am using the wrong url to the photo. Where is the proper place to retrieve photo URL?


2. I don't want my galleries to appear on the home page, but have a different page for them accessable through the nav bar. I followed a tutorial that was successful in duplicating the home page and I was able o make a usable link to the galley page, but when I try to edit the main home page and the duplicate home page the changes occur on both. On the duplicated home page I only want galleries and on the main home page I want to add more things like what I mention above(the one large picture) How can I edit each page individually and not have the changes effect the other home page. Thanks!!

Seems like you have selected the wrong image url.

You need to navigate to your gallery, click the thumbnail, then click 'Share' followed by 'Get a link' from here select the relevant 'Direct Photo Link' address.

Copy and paste this address into your <img src="URL TO YOUR PICTURE HERE">

If I do that to get the image url can I then go back and turn share option off? I prefer not to have that on in my galleries. If I turn it on to get the url to add to code and save it can I then go back and turn share off with out it effecting the photo being displayed on the home page?

Also how would I get rid off the text that says bio

Hmm not sure -sorry

I have all my site graphics on a unlisted gallery, it might be worth you moving that particular photograph to such a gallery.

No idea sorry, that's a little bit beyond my knowledge. Have a search around Dgrin, pretty certain this has been covered as I remember having similar issues

When you create a galleries page, you are simply hiding/showing things from that page on the homepage and hiding/showing a different set of things on the galleries page. So, a change you want to only occur on the galleries page must be done in something that is only visible on the galleries page. I can help you if you are more specific about exactly what change you are trying to make and where you do and don't want it to show.

Ok. On the photo galleries page I only want my galleries there. Nothing else. On the real home page I only want to have one large photo that I can change when I want. Nothing else. I dont wat the words bio to appear at all.

First, go to the galleries page tutorial (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039) and follow the steps there starting with "The Galleries Page I" to create your duplicate homepage. When you've done that, you should put custom HTML into your bio like this (you put the right image URL in):

<html>
<img border="0" src="http://jnrphotography.smugmug.com/photos/xxxxx_yyy-XL.jpg">
</html>

Then, make sure that this CSS is included to hide the bio from your homepage:

.galleries #bioBox {display:none;}

If you need any further tweaking of the look after this, then post back here to this same thread.

Ok success on some level! Photo is appearing like I want it on home page, I was able to hide galleries on home page, and I was able to hide large photo on gallery page.

Still cannot get rid on the Bio Box. I have tried adding the code you gave me. Not working. So how the heck to I remove it. Also how can I put a boarder around the large home page photo? See the progress. www.jnrphotography.smugmug.com (http://www.jnrphotography.smugmug.com)

What does this statement below mean? What are you trying to get rid of?

"Still cannot get rid on the Bio Box."

You can add a border around your homepage image with this CSS (adjust the border size and color to your liking):

#userBio img {border: 1px solid #999999;}

You can get rid of the white lines around the bio box with this CSS:

#bioBox, #bioBox .boxBottom, #bioBox .boxTop {border:none !important;}

Very strange. Now the code to get rid of the bio box worked, after I rebooted my computer. So If I could buy you a beer or several actually I would!!!! What a great help you have been!!!! Thank you for sharing you knowledge and time with me!
