Hi, this is my first post and I have a question; My Nav bar includes a new page link called Fact and Fiction, and in clicking on it I want to show other links, which when clicked on will open pages with the information/pics on them.
I’ve searched Dgrin extensively and haven’t found how to do this or at least haven’t recognized finding it. So I’d really appreciate some help. My site – www.waynewillison.smugmug.com
Thanks

    I'm assuming based on your question that these pages are not within your SmugMug site.

    Drag an HTML content block to that page.

    Use <a href= HTML statements to link to the pages in question.

    Instead of using HTML you could drag a menu block to that page and add your links in the menu block.

    Hi Wayne!

    To add links to your navigation menu, go to Customize > Content and Design > hover your mouse over the nav menu, it will become highlighted in red > click on the wrench tool in the upper left > this will open the Menu window > click on Links > scroll down to Fact and Fiction > you will be able to add your links there. Please see this screenshot example I made from your site... https://monosnap.com/file/rRqurTjTXiCZiGn2VTmRJEXsfDCZe6

    Here is our Help Page about creating a navigation menu... http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1222523

    Hi, Denise. These pages aren't made yet. They will be within my Smugmug site. But I'm not sure how to make those pages. I want to click on Fact and Fiction and be taken to a list of live links, which will open on another page.

    See How do I create and customize pages? for help on creating pages.

    To add page references to your Fact and Fiction page, drag in a Pages content block (from within the GALLERIES section), set Select From to Pages I Choose, and select the pages to be shown. Set the layout to your selected layout.

    If instead of showing images to represent the pages you want to show a list of names, then use a Menu content block instead of a Pages content block.

    You're saying to drag in a Page's content block from within the Galleries section. That won't work, as the galleries are images, and I want to have text and maybe a few small images to illustrate on these new pages. I assumed I'd have to have a F and Fiction Page, not Gallery, which links to an Information Page or Pages depending how many articles I insert. I am confused at this point.

    Did you miss my second suggestion?
    If instead of showing images to represent the pages you want to show a list of names, then use a Menu content block instead of a Pages content block.
    Or you can place an HTML block on the page and use <a href= statements as I mentioned in my first response to your question. You might want a combination of HTML blocks and photo blocks.

    Here are some examples. This page on my site - http://www.denisegoldberg.com/About/ - is a combination of HTML blocks and a multiple photos block. This page - http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Kaleidoscope - starts with a Folders, Galleries, and Pages block and is followed by an HTML block.
