ready to give up

[yosemite]

i just sigend up for a pro account and have been wrestling for days on how to get a simple front page with just some text and a photo. i would also like a about page and more info page. i followed all the help pages on creating a navbar and slideshow etc. i got the navbar but nothing else seemed to work, the nav bar is now disabled.

can anyone help or point me in the right direction on getting a simple front page with a photo, no slideshow, and some text? and show how to create some other simple html pages?

Sorry you are having so much trouble. I was in your shoes when I first started. The best thing to do is take a step back and breath. Then take a look at the tutorials again step by step and re-read as necessary. Smugmug is so easy to configure, just need to take one step at a time. Is my homepage the look you are going for? cwphotos.smugmug.com

If so I can give you some help. But dont give up. There are so many people here who can help. One bit at a time. :wink

thank you for all your help

things are going better now an i have managed to get a photo on the front page with a nav bar. the only problem now is that the smugmug link footer is in the wrong place.

how do i move it to below the photo?
i am also trying to change the back ground color on the nav bar when you hover, as it changes to white now and i changed the color on

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #369;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: 0033FF;
}

but it still changes to white

thanks

thanks You have duplicate code. Remove the red.


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

#navcontainer ul li {
display: inline;
}

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #111;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #0033FF;
}

------------------------

Keep this below with the changes.

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

#navcontainer ul li {
display: inline;
}

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background: #000;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #ccc;
background: #000;
}
Add the red comment tags here.

/* -------------------below is bio page----------------------- */
.gallery_3613847 .nophotos {display:none;}


In your footer code add the closing </div>.

<div id="myhomepagepic">
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="XXXXX" border="0" height="xx" width="xx">
</div>

On your keyboard that's the "pipe" key and it's hardcoded in the Smugmug
footer. Notice that it has no class, just imbeded in the footer div so no way
to directly address it. They can be removed with some js.

<div id="footer" class="nav" style="visibility: visible; display: block;">
<span class="text"></span>
|
<span class="loginLink"></span>
<span class="cartlink_footer"></span>
<span class="text">portions © 2007 SmugMug, Inc.</span>
</div>
