ok... So I made a site using PHP-Nuke which I thought looked good as a front-end to my smugmug galleries. But then I realized that my smugmug site, although a bit customized, looked horrible and a bit unassociated with my main site.

Thanks to a lot of discussion and information already available in these forums, I've been able to piece it together a bit. Keep in mind that this is still under development and worked on a bit each day, but I'd like comments and suggestions. My main site is @ http://www.jordanmotorsports.com (http://www.jordanmotorsports.com/)

Compare the look of it to http://jordanmotorsports.smugmug.com (http://jordanmotorsports.smugmug.com/)

Questions I have thus far:
1) Can I put a thin boarder around the center boxes on Smugmug?

2) Is it possible to put the galleries in a center-box once you get down past the 'sub-categories' level (does this make sense? As you navigate through the smugmug levels, they disappear...)

I'm sure the info is already here, I just haven't dug around enough...

Thanks to everyone for the great information!

PS - I know the galleries are a bit unorganized and lack any continuity between events.. I'm working on that next.

:thumb Great work thus far! The only issue I see is that your title needs a bit of positioning love in firefox (I didn't check IE).

To put a box around everything simply start the div in the header and close it in the footer, that will stick with every page. Check out my page for an example. The new customization for the home page, categories, galleries, search, keywords, date, etc will be out within a week I'm told so you'll have many more options for customization at that point.

I'm aware of the title image, but I can't fix that from work.. I have to wait until I get home to play with that one. My main concern is keeping the center boxes consistent throughout the entire tree structure when browsing images. Thanks for the info!
