Help for a newbie

[Freedomsrealm]

Hi,
I am trying to get my blog, about page, services page to go directly to the page from my nav bar, but instead it goes to a catagory page (I think) which my viewer has to click to go to my intended page. Is there any way to fix that? Also, my image in my about page is showing up under the page instead of in the image box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Alice
Oh, the site I am working on is freedomsrealmart.smugmug.com

For these links use a link directly to the galley

<li><a href="http://freedomsrealmart.smugmug.com/Services">SERVICES</a></li>
<li><a href="http://freedomsrealmart.smugmug.com/Blog">BLOG</a></li>

use this

<li><a href="http://freedomsrealmart.smugmug.com/Services/commissions/10155442_wvGNW">SERVICES</a></li>
<li><a href="http://freedomsrealmart.smugmug.com/Blog/Blogger/10178774_mCDXP">BLOG</a></li>

or using relative link

<li><a href="/gallery/10155442_wvGNW">SERVICES</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/10178774_mCDXP">BLOG</a></li>

Set the galleries to "unlisted" so they don't show on any browse page like cat or gallery boxes.

Thanks Allen,
I can see how what you have given me would eliminate the step where my viewer would have to go to a cat page and then my intended page. What I am not clear about at this point is where to make the changes. I used the easy customizer to set up my nav bar. So do I try to change it there, or do I go to the customization section and plug in the html under header? Sorry, I have been trying to understand, but I guess my techy side is on vacation or something. I need the website up and running by the end of next week, so there is an element of panic on my end lol:thumb . Again, thank you for helping me so much already, I am very much at the baby step stage. Alice

In EZC nav creator add the links like this. If you select the gallery from the drop you can edit it.

This is something the auto pick will look like.
http://freedomsrealmart.smugmug.com/About/abouttheArtist/10155482_Q7XP8
Or just type in the link without selecting one.

Edit that auto link by changing the red part to /gallery to look like this.
/gallery/10155482_Q7XP8

That is a relative link.
The relative link to the home page is just a /
To a category a / and category name
/Family
To a gallery
/gallery/XXXXXXX_xxxxx
To the duplicate homepage called galleries if you have one
/galleries

All these can be entered into the ECZ nav link box. You will need the full link
to any other site like blogs.

Thanks Allen, everything works great now, except getting the image in the box. Thankyou thank you thank you. I even think I might understand what you are saying this time, although that is pretty unlikely, lol. Wishing you amazing karma - Alice
