I'm wanting a single collage photo home page and a link in my nav bar to my galleries page. I've read the tread for the slide show trick but still need some help. Anyone been successful at this hack?

Thanks.

Hi Welcome :wave
How about inserting the image in your bio?

<html>
<div id="myhompagephoto">
<img src="http://nickname.smugmug.com/photos/XXXXXXX-L.jpg"></div>
</html>

Then, we can help you style it :thumb

OK Andy, thanks.

I've managed to post the right size photo on the home page... but there is still a thumb (my original bio photo) that I can't seem to get rid of. If I can be rid of the small photo of me and the related text I'll be a happpy camper for now.... Later I'll take a crack at the slideshow idea.

Also what about adding a slick dimentional "frame" around the image any ideas on that?

I've tried adding more code that I've gathered from other threads and something is still not working correctly. I've added the galleries link on my nav bar but my galleries are still displaying on my home page... I can't tell if the link part is working or not because it would be the same view I suspect. I've updated footer, java script and css with recomended 'fancy' code but to no avail. Can you figure out what I'm missing??

Thanks...

Add this to your CSS and see if it does what you want.

.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox,
.homepage #featuredBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox,
.galleries #featuredBox {
display: block;
}
