Hi. I've been trying to customize my site and I seem to have broken the bio box. I added some html so that I could change the color and font and now I can't edit it! When I click the edit link, it says Gallery Categories where my bio text should be. I suspect that I am missing one of those pesky closing tags, but since I can't get to the bio text I can't fix it.

So... help, someone, please??? The site is http://photofest.smugmug.com/.

Hi, and welcome to Dgrin! I hope you find this forum helpful. I find whenever I have a quesiton like this, I use the "search" feature in the site toolbar towards the upper right. However, don't ever be afraid to ask a question :thumb.

You can always edit your bio by going into your control panel, click on the settings tab, then click the 'change' link next to bio which is the 6th line down.

In your code, whenever you have a <div> you need to have an ending </div>. Your new code looks like this:

<html>
<div id="myBio">

Thank you. I was pretty sure that I was missing the </div> tag. I had no idea how to fix it since the normal edit wasn't working though. I did look around in the control panel, but I totally missed the option to edit my bio. I tried searching the forum too but I'll admit that I was pretty frustrated by then and didn't search very long.

Anyway, I appreciate the help, it looks much better now. After messing around with the customization of this site I am hooked and am planning to customize my personal site so I am sure that I will have more questions in the future.
