Okay, this is unrelated to that topic because I totally get lost in this forum and I have NO IDEA where to post messages or how to get back to these messages. But I would like to know how to customize a nav bar in my smugmug site. Now I did go to the websites that Mike suggested and they do give you coding. However, I do not know where to cut and paste this coding. It doesn't seem to work in the header space. Can you please help me?

We can help. The navbar coding goes in your header, for example like this site we did over the past week:

CSS:

#navcontainer ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}

#navcontainer ul li { display: inline; }

#navcontainer ul li a
{
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #342a1f;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover
{
color: #fff;
background-color: #e3cfb5;
}




Header HTML:

<div align="center">
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<input type="submit" value="Search Brandolino Imaging's Galleries" />
</form>
