Two sites or one or one 1/2 for two purposes

[ginger_55]

ginger here, is there a way to have a professional site with banner et al, and a site for friends and family with professional type features. Two sites, kind of, that serve two purposes. All this without paying twice, as in paying for two sites.

As an example, I love Andy's pro site, but where does he keep his family and "stuff".

my son will help me with a banner, but I would not want it on both places, just to sell prints.

Does this make sense?

ginger,

learn about sharegroups (http://www.smugmug.com/help/share-groups) and private albums (http://www.smugmug.com/help/private-albums)

i have over 100 galleries on my site (http://www.moonriverphotography) but only six are in view to the public :D

you only need one site on smugmug.

after you read, post your questions here and i'm sure they'll get answered :deal

I have photos on many different free sites. It'd be nice if Smugmug could import these automatically with the entry of the linked page. Otherwise i will have a lot of work to download and re-upload them!

.. if those site provide some sort of API to get ahold of the images, so it's actually possible to download them in the first place.
Or maybe they provide a service similar to smugmug's backup, so you can actually get them locally.

BTW, it's really unsafe practice NOT to have your originals/albums with you, especially taking into account volume and price of the modern HDDs. If you had them locally (on CDs/DVDs/HDDs/etc) uploading to smugmug would not be such a big labor..

I have Terrabytes of photos. I wonder if that will count against my bandwidth limits, or are those limits for viewers only?
