SmugMug Users Step In

How do I make my account look like Moon River Photography? Click on Prozone, its under the example. I dont want it to be a copy, but you know. Not the basic smug users account look anymore. I just upgraded to pro so I can sell some photos.

Also, if anyone knows, I did a multiple gallery edit, and accidentally got rid of my categories. And to top it off, all my galleries have the same description. How do I get my categories back?

You can probably find specific help easier over at Digital Grin (SmugMug specific forum)

Start here:

There apparently are tons of Moon River look alikes, because somewhere there are tutorials from that user, and many people cut and paste his code.

You'd get a lot more help over at DGrin. They're run by the SmugMug team. MoonRiver (Andy) is very helpful on the forums. Just be sure to read as much as you can and do a search before starting a new thread that no doubt hundreds of other people have already started.

Smugmug has a simple customizer now that is pretty trick, but for the real custom stuff, you have to know HTML and CSS code. There are some people out there that will do it for hire, but it's not cheap.

moon river photography's page is average compared to a lot more customoization you can do, I've seen a lot better.

Right right...Im just saying. I cant seem to get mine customization to get past the basic user level.

Ill check out dgrin. I didnt realize it was smugmug run.

Moon River is actually one of the SmugMug employees' pages. I certainly don't want to speak for Andy, but I'd be willing to bet that he'd be happy to tell you how he did any element of his page.

Dgrin has a huge section on customization....that is how I was how I got my website going.

As I recall, there are numerous posts addressed to Andy asking specific questions about certain aspects of the Moon River site. And yes, he does seem to answer them. Also there are fee based SM customizers that you can contact on DGrin as well.

I Get this question about 3x a day by email ... http://andydemo.smugmu​g.com is one way to get going fast- and as others have posted, drop by http://www.dgrin.com and post in the customizing forum so that our many helpers can help

I joined SmugMug back in October and have probably done about 3-4 hrs of customization on my site:

I think the easiest way to customize your own is figure out what features you'd like, and how you want them to look. Then go over to the dgrin.com forums and search for the answer. If you don't find it in a search, then post your own question- you'll be surprised at how fast you get a reply.

I love smugmug ive been with them for about 5 or 6 years now.. I have a guy that does my site for me, he can do anything. If your interested PM ill shoot you his contact info. Mine is motox so its not too fancy but he can do anything.
