Is there a way to place html links in individual SmugMug galleries? What I would like to do is have a link in each gallery pointing to a corresponding Facebook gallery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can put html in any gallery description or photo caption. If you do use html, it must start with an <html> tag and end with a </html> tag. That tells smug that the entry - the description or caption - should be treated as html.

Denise, thanks so much for the help. That is exactly what I was looking for. One more question - is there any way to make a photo a link? Thanks!

Yes. You can use a combination of an <a href= statement and an <img src= statement to show a photo that is clickable to another location/page.

I included a post about embedded photos in a blog in the thread I wrote about matching a blogger blog to a smugmug site. The code you want is shown in the post Adding photos to your blog (http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=886014&postcount=2). I use that technique in my blog all of the time, and you can also see it on my smugmug site. One example is my recent galleries page at http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Medley/Recent-galleries/9546269_eCQ9Q.

Is there a way to apply that html link to a picture in a SmugMug gallery? To the actual picture thumbnail rather than just the caption?

Thanks again for the help!

Not that I'm aware of.

Someone else might know of some kind of hack to break smugmug's normal click behavior, but that's outside of my knowledge. But if you applied some kind of hack in a smugmug-style gallery you could also lose the ability to switch which photo is focused on the right.
