We need a link to your site - the one you included in your post is incorrect.
The best thing for you to do is to include the correct link in your dgrin signature so that it is always easily available for helpers. Click You! above and to the left, then Edit Signature.

1, How can I replace the slideshow on my homepage with a single large image? I don't really want the slideshow.
2, How do I center my row of galleries on the gallery page? Right now they're shifted all the way over to the left. I followed he instructions regarding this on another thread, but when I did it the galleries disappeared!
3, I created a guestbook page, but how do I enable it so people can leave comments (if there is no photo on the page...)
4, How can I place my navigation bar inside the banner area?
To place your navbar on top of your banner, change
#navcontainer ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}
to this
#navcontainer ul {
margin: -17px 0 0 0; /* top right bottom left */
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}
Adjust the first number in the margin statement as needed to place the navbar entries where you'd like them to be.
If you don't want a slideshow, simply pull that code from your bio box and replace it with an img src statement pointing to the photo you'd like to use. For example
<img src="http://www.kristinmacadams.com/photos/292153643_NTdBG-XL.jpg">
The galleries entries on your galleries page are shifted to the left because you added the CSS from the enhanced stretchy post at http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=93221. That changes the galleries to stretch across the screen. If you want the galleries screen not to stretch then you'll need to remove all or part of that code.
On the guestbook page and comments question, I believe that you'll need to add a photo to that gallery and then hide it from view. Why don't you want a photo on that page? Why not use a journal-style gallery with your message in the photo caption? You can see an example on my page if you're interested.
Oh - if you want your url to work without the www, you'll need to follow the instructions on this page - http://www.smugmug.com/help/professional-accounts - shown after you click the + in front of "How do I drop www from my address?".

Thank you! I will try implementing all these changes this afternoon.
I thought of one more question - if I do keep the slideshow, is there a way to make it so they all open to the same size inside a framed box, like Andy has on that MoonRiver page? I really like that style.
Andy's photos for his slide show are all the same size. And the frame is an image that he placed in a gallery and displays on his home page.

For a "picture frame" border around your whole slideshow you could add this to your CSS:
border-style: groove;
border-color: #0000ff
border-width: 8px
Or add this to your slideshow code for borders around your images no matter what size.
borderThickness: '20',
borderColor: '202020',
