Please help me with some questions on my site. I've been trying to make changes, and so far I've done most of what I want to do.
But...
1) How do I get rid of all that empty space between my navigation bar and Featured Galleries.
2) Can I move the Map This icon somewhere else? Perhaps on the nav bar, or closer to the nav bar?
3) One of my featured galleries "Dylan's Birthday Party", does not display my customized header. Nor does it display any other customized feature. Why? How do I fix this?
4) On my Nav bar, I want the word "HOME" on the left side of the bar, all the other links on the right. Is this possible?
or

That's all for now. Thanks for your help.

The space is due to the height=150 that is defined in both the TR and TD elements, either reduce this height or remove it all together.

My guess is that the "Hide Owner" option is enabled on your gallery, turn it off and you will get your banners back.

Change your code to this...

PHP Code:

<td align="left">&nbsp;<a class="nav" href="http://yolanda.smugmug.com"> Home</a> </td><td align="right">| <a href="mailto:mar5620@yahoo.com?subject=SmugMug%20Private%20Message%20from%20&body=<SmugMug%20Private%20Message>%0d%0d" class="nav">Contact Yolanda</a> | <a href="http://www.smugmug.com/help" class="nav">Help</a> | <input type="text" name="searchWords" size="18" style="width: 175px; background-image: url('/img/nav/shadow_left.gif'); border: 1px solid #000000" value=" search" onClick="if(document.searchBox.searchWords.value == ' search') { document.searchBox.searchWords.value = ' ' }" /> 


Hope this helps,

David

David,
Thank you for taking the time to help me. I have been at work today, or I would have responded sooner.

You've helped me answer a couple of questions, but I'm still looking for additional help.

1) The space between my Navigation bar and Featured Galleries is fixed. THANK YOU!!!

2) I still need an answer???

3) Your guess that the "Hide Owner" option is enabled on my gallery is not the answer. I confirmed that the "Hide Owner" option is not enabled on this gallery, and this is the only gallery that simply will not show my customized header. Any other suggestion? Can anybody help me with this?

4) The answer your provided changed all my text to the left (Home, Contact, and Help). I want just the word "Home" on the left, all the rest on the right. Is this possible?? I just think people are used to seeing a "Home" option on the top left.

And again, thank you!

Do you have a pro account?

I'm not a pro, but yes I have a pro account.

What were the exact steps you took to implement your cobranding? Did you put the css in the box that says "stylesheet html" in your cobranding page?

I did alot of trial and error stuff, but I typed directly in the header and stylesheet portion. I have nothing in javascript, body and footer tag sections.

I supposed I got it all wrong. I just wanted to give my site a little personalization.

No, that's how it should work. I'm just confused as to why your gallery wouldn't be showing up with cobranding. Every other gallery that I checked has your cobranding. And I think that if you have hide owner yes selected it sends you to a generic www.smugmug.com URL rather than yolanda.smugmug.com (btw, a friend of my family has a daughter named yolanda ... but I digress).

I'll ask JT about this one.

Go into "Customize Gallery"
Make sure you have checked
Appearance: Custom (not Appearance: smugmug)

That should fix things.

aaah yes, should've thought of that.

That was it! Actually, neither selection was checked. But when I selected "custom", it worked.

I did notice that many of my galleries have neither selection checked, but yet they still showed my custom settings. Hmm....Oh well, I won't look for trouble. I'll simply make sure they all say "custom" and quit trying to figure it out.

Thank you all again!!
