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:
http://www.dgrin.com/s​howthread.php?t=52812 (external link)

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.


Knowledge, Talent, Experience, Success. None of these excuse arrogance.

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 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.

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.


You can only fish for so long before you gotta throw a stick of dynamite in the water. :cool:

You're right :) The reason is, many folks want simple - and it's dead simple to make a site like mine, in minutes, just using Easy Customizer :D

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

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.
