OK, I have managed to create a slideshow and a navbar on my site, not bad for someone that knows nothing about how to do such things and I thank those that assisted me with this:clap
I now wish to create pages that can link to the nav bar buttons but I have no idea how to achieve this. I have tried searching the various tutorials and I can't seem to find any that can help me with this. You will see that I have buttons to "Pricing", "Contact Information" and "About Me" pages but I have no idea how to create those pages and to link them.
If I am correct, once I have created the pages I will simply need to amend the Custom Header like I did to create the link to my Galleries. Creating the page is the problem I am having.
I would like these pages to contain text and, possibly, some images.
Any ideas?

All pages on your site are galleries. Your contact page, prices, etc. are often html-only galleries in that they don't contain any photos.
I keep galleries like that in a specific category, and I mark all of those galleries as unlisted. Unlisted means they will only show up if you explicitly link to them (like from your navbar).
Take a look at Allen's tutorials on setting up this type of page. Start with this one - http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3819841 - and click through the navbar entries to find other examples.

Thanks Denise. Took a little time and I managed to get pretty close to what I was looking for as far as the text. But, I can't seem to figure out how to get the picture to work. The frame is there and it opens momentarily, but the image is a no show. Pretty sure I'm not using the correct image id#. Here's the page: http://www.bigfishimages.com/Other/BIO/5601072_B4Wa8 Any ideas? :dunno
Thanks.

Thank you for that. However, when I try and add a new gallery it is not a "Smugmug" one but is one named by my website. None of my other ones are like this, they are all Sugmug ones. What am I doing wrong?

Another question....hopefully as simple as the last....
How do I remove the "Big Fish Images > About/Contact >" from the upper left corner? http://www.bigfishimages.com/AboutContact-2/BIO/5601072_B4Wa8
Thanks in advance....

You missed some of the CSS, look at the bottom of this page (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3819841), esp. the bold items.
/* things you can hide on page */
.gallery_XXXXXXX .nophotos h3, /* if no photos in gallery */
.gallery_XXXXXXX #albumNav_top,
.gallery_XXXXXXX #albumNav_bottom,
.notLoggedIn .gallery_XXXXXXX .journal_entry, /* hides photos in gallery */
.notLoggedIn .gallery_XXXXXXX #breadcrumb {display: none;}
