I would like to remove some of the space above the bio text. What's the best way to do this?

Some categories are arranged left-to-right, but some are arranged up and down.

How do I turn off the text describing the number of galleries with number of photos.

#userBio {margin-top: -30px;} in your css. Adjust to taste.

5 or less, one row. 6 or more, two rows. Does that help?

add this to your CSS:

p.description {display: none;} in your CSS

Andy,

Thanks for the help. I am not too good at code, and for whatever reason the webdev tool and tutorial are not helping me too much.

With regard to the layout of the categories:

This (http://darphotos.smugmug.com/Plants%20and%20Animals) shows two sub-categories side-by-side. That's good.

This (http://darphotos.smugmug.com/Various%20Places) shows three sub-categories top-to-bottom. That's not good.

I would like to have side-by-side for everything.

It is interesting that in the first one (above) the title of the category shows in the dark-grey box. The title does not show when you click on any of the other categories. I like the titles to show, but without the "sub-categories"; e.g., "Plants and Animals" not "Plants and Animals sub-categories".

Have you tried the 4-across trick from our FAQ?

That's been in the customization for a while now. Perhaps I got somethng pasted incorrectly.

Clicking these categories "Plants and Animals" and "Personal Photos" shows that the sub-category for these two categories are assigned as class=miniBox. The sub-categories for these two categories line up side-by-side. Also, the pages shows id=subCatGalleryTitle as “Plants and Animals sub-categories” and "Personal Photos sub-categories", respectively.



Clicking any of the remaining categories from my homepage shows that the sub-categories for each category are assignedlass=miniBox albumLarge. The sub-categories for each category line up top-to-bottom. The pages for each of these categories do not have a title as in the first two above.

I like the appearance and the showing of the titles as in the first two. How do I go about updating the rest of the categories so that their pages look like the first two?

Mike's new grey theme has the following :
#category .miniBox {margin:10px; width:344px}
#bodyWrapper .albumLarge {width:710px; min-height:200px; height:auto; margin:20px 10px;}
#bodyWrapper .albumLarge .editDescription,
#bodyWrapper .albumLarge .description {width:552px; float:right;}
#bodyWrapper .albumLarge p.updated {width:552px; float:right;}
The width of 710px appears to be what's causing the listing of galleries to show top-to-bottom. So changing this to 210px seems to work. I tried it in the edit CSS in the firefox webdev tool and my web pages looked o.k.

However, how do I make such a change permanent? Do I need to add new CSS code, or will the webdev tool make the change for me? If I need to add the code then what do I place in the CSS section? I tried to copy and paste the above code (with my width change) into my CSS section but the change didn't take.

Bump - still trying to change the new grey theme's 710px width to 210px.

#bodyWrapper .albumLarge {width:710px; min-height:200px; height:auto; margin:20px 10px;}
I can make the change in webdev, but can't figure out out to make it permanent in my CSS.

Thanks.
