Need a little page help.

[MZamora]

I upgraded to pro on Tuesday. And I have been playing with my page since. Well this is what I would like to fix.

1. Nav Bar font (how do I change the font? could I use an image, perhaps one created in PS?)
2. How do I link About me to my Bio Box and only my Bio Box?
3. some of the font on the page appears white and blends into page. Ex. footer. How do I change that?
4. slideshow is a little big but if I try and change the size I get a black space to the left of the picture. right now the width is 750 height 600.
5. I would like to add a frame to the slideshow on the homepage.
This is the order I think
1. image
2. drop shadow from image
3. black frame and on black frame (Signature). I should have no problem creating it. I assume it will be a PNG which the slideshow should lay on top of correct?

Oh and here is the link to my page. http://www.michaelzamora.smugmug.com
CC are very much appreciated. Where I stand as an acutally photographer is its a hobby gone out of control, not doing this for actual business just pleasure.

Hi Michael,

Like you, I too am a newcomer to Smugmug. What I've found useful to begin tweaking my site is to first use the many resources here at Dgrin. For example, check out this post (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52812) to get you started on some basic site changes and layout techniques.

1. Nav Bar font (how do I change the font? could I use an image, perhaps one created in PS?)
Have you tried this excellent tutorial (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1932803) by Ivar? If you have, and still can't get it to work, post your question in this forum (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=48349).


2. How do I link About me to my Bio Box and only my Bio Box?
I have not done this, but I believe most people create a private gallery, force it to the "Journal" style, and then link to this gallery from the home page or nav bar.

3. some of the font on the page appears white and blends into page. Ex. footer. How do I change that?
I took a look at your home page but couldn't determine what text blends into the background. If you want to change your footer text color, perhaps add something like this in your CSS box (shamelessly stolen from Mr. Lane):

#cobrand_footer .nav, #cobrand_footer .text {
color:#000000;
}
4. slideshow is a little big but if I try and change the size I get a black space to the left of the picture. right now the width is 750 height 600.
5. I would like to add a frame to the slideshow on the homepage.

Maybe some information in this thread (http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52401) will be useful to you.

Hopefully this will get you started until someone more knowledgeable than me can help you out more. Good luck!

Welcome! :wave


1. Nav Bar font (how do I change the font?

Add the red, change the font family (http://typetester.maratz.com) to taste.

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


2. How do I link About me to my Bio Box and only my Bio Box?
You can't. Make a new gallery, upload your bio photo. Force the gallery to journal. Add your bio in the text. Hide your bio from your homepage. Add the gallery link to your navbar :D

3. some of the font on the page appears white and blends into page. Ex. footer. How do I change that?


change the RED. Delete the first version of this bit of code in your CSS (you have it there 2x).

/* Change color of links */

a:link {
color:#000000;
}

a:visited {
color:#000000;
}

a:hover {
color:#000000;
}

a:active {
color:#000000;
}

4. slideshow is a little big but if I try and change the size I get a black space to the left of the picture. right now the width is 750 height 600.
I can't see a slideshow on your page.

5. I would like to add a frame to the slideshow on the homepage.
This is the order I think
1. image
2. drop shadow from image
3. black frame and on black frame (Signature). I should have no problem creating it. I assume it will be a PNG which the slideshow should lay on top of correct?

Hey Andy, I tried deleting the extra code but I still get white links. For another example of what I am talking about. Look at any gallery and you will notice the next or previous links are very light grey or almost white. How can I make these links black. Also on the main galleries page someof the links blend into the black background.

Sorry, you'll need to be VERY specific with gallery links. You can't want these nav links to be black, for example: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/1354036
