how do you manage your smugmug account?

hey guys, this may be a ridiculous questions, but how do you guys organize your photos on smugmug?

I dont have many pictures, but i would like it to be easy to navigate when i put more up.

My brother does his by year.... any other suggestions?

I have a pro account and just set up galleries. That is the only way to organize them for clients.

I have a few different galleries / folders such as landscapes, travel, wildlife etc, then within these individual galleries for location or time. The wildlife one isn't really subdivided as there are only about 3 photos in it at the moment.

ok... thanks gembobs, thats really what i needed.

I am doing mine that way with subcategories

[perfarny]

I use categories to organize my galleries (I don't have clients so it's just for family and friends). As main categories I use "Vacations", "Adventures", "Movie Archive" (lots of old movies), "The Boys", and "Other".

Vacations is obvious.
Adventures is for weekend outings / activities
The Boys is for portrait / candid shots of my two boys.
Other I use for miscellaneous.

Within each category I setup either a sub-category (example: Vacations - Europe 2008 ) and then/or galleries labeled by date and title.

I use categories and sub categories to manage the galleries and use Nave bar for easy navigation.

So far it is working fine for me.
