Hi,
I have entered nicename for my galleries but they do not seem to be working properly. They still right jiberish at the top. How can I fix this? This horrible URL's make my site harder to navigate or for google to correctly find everything.
www.sebastiendamour.com
I would like to have like this sebastiendamour.com/weddings/ as a finished url

Why are the url's like the breadcrumb?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking about, but you can improve things by updating the links in your navbar to point to the nicename URLs, not the generic numeric URLs.
For example, the nicename URL of your "The Art of Weddings" gallery is this:
http://www.sebastiendamour.com/Photography/Wedding/2735260_RTQv2
but you have your navbar pointed to:
http://sebmour.smugmug.com/gallery/2735260
Update your navbar links to the nicename URLs and then when people click on the navbar items, they will be taken to the nicename URLs.
The same goes for the URLs you have in gallery descriptions.

I would like to eliminate the /2735260_RTQv2 in the url

I would like to eliminate the /2735260_RTQv2 in the url Smugmug puts that back whenever it shows the gallery. I don't know of any way to remove it. You don't have to include it when sending an URL to someone via email. For example, you can send them:
http://www.sebastiendamour.com/Photography/Wedding
and it will take them to the right place, but Smugmug always seems to put the numbers back on the end of the URL when they show the gallery.

Thank you for the help
Hopefully someone will know how to take that part off.
