I got smugmug today power account, this is my starting point before i wanted to advance.

I wanted to make a welcome page, with a big pictures in the middle... and when you click it then it'll advance to my main page

text: click to advnace


I know there are tutorials showing how to make a slideshow, banner, etc for a seperate page but what i want to do is it possible?

thanks in advance!

You should be fine, by doing the same "thing" as you would for the slideshow... (follow the steps here: http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039 )
But instead of the slideshow code:
<html>
********>
var ssConfig = {
AlbumID: 'XXXXXX',
newWindow: 'false',
transparent: 'true',
splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png',
showLogo: 'false',
clickToImage: 'true',
showThumbs: 'true',
showButtons: 'true',
crossFadeSpeed: '350'
};

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(600, 600, ssConfig, 'transparent');
</********
</html>


try this
<html>
<a href="URL to Gallery Page" target="_self" ALT="Click here to load the gallery">
<img src="URL TO IMAGE" style="border: 1px solid #1F1F1F; "/><br>
<p style="text-size:10pt; color:#AFAFAF; text-decoration:none;">click to advnace</p>
</a>
</html>

don't forget to replace "URL to Gallery Page" and "URL TO IMAGE" with the real URL's...

I haven't done this myself as I use a custom website instead... but it should work none the less ;)

Well i inserted those codes and don't know what i even did, not my whole page is messed up. I pasted some code into my dio box as instucted in one of the tutorials. After i pasted an image URL into the XXXX box, nothing worked so wanted to delete it... When i click edit the bio boxes hides...

didn't think designing basic thigns would be so hard.

i wanted the still image on my welcome page, and that's it.

here is my beautiful page o_O

You can always edit the bio box from the control panel. Click the Customize tab, then click Your bio.

If you really want help then we need a link to your site. Without looking at your code I have no idea what is causing your problem. I'd recommend adding it to your signature so it is always available for the helpers here. Click You! on the navbar above, then Edit Signature.

I don't see the javascript that is required for the separate galleries page to show. Go back to the tutorial at http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039 and make sure that you have included all of the code.

Go into your bio box from your control panel and remove all of the code to give yourself a clean start. If you can't access the bio box then send an email to smugmug support and ask them to clear it for you.

If you need to contact smug - http://www.smugmug.com/help/emailreal.

You added your URL to your post above and not to your signature. Please add it to your signature so that it is always available for the helpers here. If I need a site URL and it is not visible in the post where the individual is asking for help then I'm likely to move on to help someone else (instead of searching through all previous posts for the link).

Did you miss my note in the previous post? You are missing the javascript for the separate galleries page. If I view your site with the Firefox Web Developer Extension and remove your CSS then your galleries show.

If you want to start from scratch then remove all of your custom code.

Or add the missing javascript to get your galleries page to show up. Thing is, you need to add a navbar too if you want your galleries on a page other than your home page. Without the navbar no one will know how to access your galleries.
