Galleries, sub-galleries & categories.....arraggh! Need help!

[nightspidy]

Just got on smugmug today and I am already frustrated and thinking this might not be the best thing for me. Under Gallery Catergories, I would like to have Travel. Under Travel, I would like to have a sub-category titled Middle East 2009 and inside of that I would like to have 3 separate galleries for the 3 different countries that I went to, ie: Jordan, Syria and Israel. I have so far been able to get Jordan inside of the sub-category but can not seem to figure out how to add Syria and Israel. Any help would be greatly appreciated; I am so frustrated right now I am not sure if I am going to purchase the yearly account.

Thanks for your help in advance

This is actually really simple :)

1) From your homepage go to "Add Photos" and choose "New Gallery."
2) Give the gallery a name (Israel or Syria). Your Gallery URL could be the same name
3) Select the Category as "Travel"
4) Select the sub-category "Middle East 2009"
5) Click save
6) Upload all your photos to the Israel (or Syria) gallery.
7) Repeat for the other country.

Enjoy,

I think it makes good sense you would have a hard time figuring it out, because to "make a gallery," you start with "add photos." That is not intuitive!
