Is it possible to customize standard SmuMug themes or do I have to start the page from scratch to customize?
How do you save customization. I see a preview button but no save button.

Welcome to Dgrin. :wave

You can start anywhere you want and use your CSS to override any theme
element. You can also pick a theme, modify it and save as you own
theme.

Should be a "update" button at the bottom of the customize page just above preview.

Thanks for the welcome. How do I get the code for a theme up to customize it?

What OS and browser are you using? On a PC using Firefox there's an add-on
extension, Web Developer, that works great for viewing and editing CSS in
real time.

I'm on a Mac. Up until now I have been using a graphically based Mac web design software called Freeway. It's great. Does websites with HTML and CSS without knowing any code. The software generates the code. I was hoping I could use it to help generate pages for SmugMug but I'm not sure how. I also have FireFox and Web Developer in Mac. If I were to edit the CSS, how do I get the revised code into SmugMug. I'll read the tutorial about using Developer that's on the tutorial page.

Thanks again for all the help. Freeway has a great forum too. I'm looking forward to setting up a nice site. Not spectacular, just nice will do fine.

Web Dev is real time but it only edits the page in memory. You have to copy
any changes and paste into a text editor so you can later put in your
customize boxes. And there should be tabs for CSS and theme.
