flash slideshow : STOP! You can do this very easily by using your homepage layout button, slideshow box - on your homepage when logged in :) More help.

This flash slideshow is so nice, smooth, and easy to set up! All you need is a Power or Professional SmugMug account.

Some examples: Ivar.smugmug.com, Moonriver photography, BigWebGuy.smugmug.com.

This tutorial uses the 'bio box' for the slideshow.

NOTE: We now have a VERY easy way to add a slideshow to your homepage without using the bio box and getting lost in slideshow parameters, etc. Check it out: http://www.smugmug.com/help/homepage-boxes

Just click on your Homepage Layout button and choose Slideshow. The good news is, this is available on all account levelsl!

Example: PhotoscapeDesign

Site layout : This tutorial will explain and guide you through the process of setting up your Power- or Pro-smugmug account with a custom header, navbar, homepage with a slideshow but no galleries/categories and a separate page for the galleries/categories.

Examples of this can be found here: www.moonriverphotography.com; ivar.smugmug.com; www.photoscapedesign.com. Also, many other sites are set up like this.
