Getting Categories on a Separate Page

[L84CABO]

My site: http://www.oceanbeachphotography.com/

So I've got my homepage slideshow (java hack) up and runing and now, of course, I'm trying to deal with the issue of getting the "categories" onto their own page. I've been reading on this for most of the morning and am pretty confused.

I read FAQ 93: (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=355505#post355505)

along with this post:

I'm confused about the following:

1) I've created a "Galleries" button in my navbar but I don't know what URL to assign to it to direct folks to the separate page that contains...or will eventually contain...my "gallery categories" (which can currently be viewed on my homepage)

2) I was confused on how to configure this code:

.homepage #featuredBox {display:none;}
.featured #featuredBox {display:block !important;}
.featured #categoriesBox {display:none !important;}
Are the two items in red the ones that get adjusted?

Then I read the thread below which talks about creating a single category and making all of your current categories sub-categories under that single category...if I understood it right. Is this a different process completely or is it part of the same process above?

Any direct help or pointing me to another more detailed thread (for the learning imparied) is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Heya. Start here: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=43119
Which explains the whole process and what you have to do a little more concisely. If you have all the proper code in place, you now have a http://yourname.smugmug.com/featured URL. It will look identical to your current homepage until you modify either of them to differentiate the two.

Then read: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=43155&page=2
for more clarification.

If you still need help with it, just hollar!
