Not wanting to wear out my welcome, here's another question. I'm not looking so much for a fix (here's the code you need), but more of an explanation of how to go about changing something.

I'd like to try and figure things out for myself, but I sure could use a point in the right direction.

When I use the WebDev plug-in for Firefox, on my homepage, and look at the element information, I'm at a loss of how to change certain elements, but more so, where to find the elements being referred to.

Example:
1. Home page
2. Element - gallery categories
3. class = title notopmargin
4. id = categoryTitle

Where is the wording, "gallery categories" kept, so I can change it?
I think it may be somewhere in the categoryTitle element, but I don't know how to see the wording.

Thanks,
Steve

Are you talking about changing the color/size of the words? Or do you want to change the actual text?

If you want to change the color/size, use #categoryTitle. Example:
#categoryTitle { color: red; }

If you want to change the actual text, see #17, here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/customize-faq.mg

If you want to get a better understanding of CSS/XHTML, have a look here:

I hope this helps. Holler if you have any questions!

Thank you Ivar, just the information I was looking for.

I have printed your book, and am going through it. Have made some changes, but am a bit prone to jumping from here to there at times.
