Ok I know a little about css etc but not enough to know what I need to do here. I would like to add another "gallery categories" box to include my Portfolio and Art Prints galleries and then rename the actual "gallery categories" box to "Proof Galleries" or something to that avail. The renaming should be simple enough, but I cant quite make the second box work. What is it I need to do oh wise ones? :D

You could create a new category for the galleries you want together.
Check the help pages under galleries. http://www.smugmug.com/help/

Or this might be a work around for you.
"Feature" the galleries you want together. Make sure you have your "Featured Galleries" enabled to view on your homepage.
Use devbobo's js hack to rename the "Featured Galleries" to "Proof Galleries"
FAQ #34 http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=381617&postcount=20
It would look something like this

YE.onAvailable('featuredTitle', function() {this.innerHTML = 'Proof Galleries'});

If you could, include you site address in your signature. Thanks..

I dont think thats quite what I'm looking for. Heres my site (sorry about that!) http://lizstabbertphoto.smugmug.com Looking at it might give you a better idea of what I mean.

I would still like to use my featured section to showcase the newest proof galleries etc, and I've already got my galleries in categories as I'd like them. The problem comes where my various proof categories are getting "cluttered" with my portfolio and other galleries. Right now I've arranged them to keep them slightly separated, but I was hoping to take it a step further and give the proofs their own sectional box.

That hack should work to do the renaming I wanted on the gallery categories though:D

Well originally this is what I was thinking Example (http://lizstabbertphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/745654/4/106992235/Large)

But now that I've put it together in PS I dont think I like the way it looks :rolleyes I've been looking around at other customizing threads and realizing how blah my page is and adding more boxes wont help!

I think instead what I'm going to do is hide the unneccecary gallery links (portfolio, art prints, and other), tear out the nav bar I have right now and figure out how to incorporate the CSS navbar and header I'm using for my main website http://lizstabbertphoto.com (which might be a little tricky, at least for me). People would be able to navegate to my Portfolio with that navbar, "Other" isnt something people need to see , and if I find I cant live without "art prints" I'll add it somewhere. But none of them really have to be on my main page.

Andy, I really like the looks of your Featured area. I think I'm going to read some more CMing threads and play with my Portfolio category, but I think I'm going to leave the Featured like I've got it now.



PS Thanks for putting up with me guys, I'll figure out how to work these dohickies eventually:D:D
