Hi,
I am tying to customize my site (australfoto.smugmug.com) in several ways but canno seem to find the answers in the forum.

I essentially would like to copy the design and navigation ofhttp://www.moonriverphotography.com/

I really do not neet to chage too much, I simply:
- would like a slide show (with no smugmug logo in it) on my home page
- would like a separate "galleries" page.
- would like to remove the "gallery page" text on the guestbook

I tried one of the forum posts on duplicating the home page in order to get separate galleries page, but I can't seem to make the pages different!

I eventually would also like to put my domain name on the site.

Any help is appreciated. Regards,
Douglas

Have you seen this tutorial - http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039?
It's linked to from the very helpful >>> CUSTOMIZATION: Start here <<< sticky at the head of this forum. The tutorial should set you on the right path for a slideshow and separate galleries page, as well as a navbar if you want one.

Instructions to put your domain name on your site are at http://www.smugmug.com/help/professional-accounts.

Hi,
Thank you for your response! But, I think I go into trouble by following that tutorial...The instructions tell me that I am done, but do not mention how to REMOVE the galleries from the home page but KEEP them on the galleries page. Likewise, it does not explain how to KEEP the slideshow on the homepage, but REMOVE it from the galleries page. I am confused.

My australfoto.smugmug.com and australfoto.smugmug.com/galleries pages are identical.

The problem is caused by an error earlier in your CSS. You have:
.title { color: #CCCCCC; font-size: 12px;
It's missing the closing }. Change it to
.title { color: #CCCCCC; font-size: 12px;}
and you should be all set.

The smugmug logo appears in your slideshow because of this parameter in your slideshow code:

splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png'
You can remove that line entirely, or you can specify one of your own images to be used as the splash.
