I found on DGRIN how to change replace the little icon with one of your own with this tutorial. I have not tried it out yet because I don't really want my own icon...I just want to get rid of the Smug Mug one.
Here is the thread discussing the tutorial:

Here is the tutorial:

I guess SmugMug does not allow *.ico files so in addition to making a little customized icon, you have to find a place to house those type of files as well.
You know...it's all about the learning process and finding what works with our own style...right? All I can say is I'm have a blast building it...it's just FUN! I'm going to try your code later tonight and I'll keep you posted.
I'm watching Battlestar Galactica DVD's now...;-)
Thanks...you are the best! |
Okay, I got'cha now. If you don't have one, I can send you a completely transparent icon. Or you can draw the little icon images (16 x 16 pixels, and 32 x 32 pixels) and send them to me and I'll make you your own custom icon.

Just for giggles, I tried the icon tutorial. I got it working in Firefox, but not in IE. I had to open a free account on Ripway.com so I'd have a place to host the icon file.
Anyway, it sort of works... I guess. :D

I love the "A WALK THROUGH NYC" section on your site, some beautiful images in there. |

| Wait, can you reserve those unique domain names through smugmug, or do you do that some other way? Also, how? |

Register your domain name with any of the internet registrars, then tell smugmug what you've chosen.

So I started work on my Smugmug site today!
Keep in mind it's under heavy construction, but the general idea is there.
And, digitalpins: I used your referral, thanks!

Mick...you will be so proud of me! I finally changed the long code for your short code and the text title bar reads correctly. Thank you!
Also, I added the favicon code and as you predicted, the little icon appears in Firefox but not in IE7. I did a little research on this and apparently the issue is a common one. I ran the URL of my site through a favicon validator and got this:
Two icons appear in the validator and I have no clue how to remove the original "smugmuggy" icon and have on the little horse chess piece show up.
Any ideas?

Congratulations! You're now an experienced web developer! :D
Nice icon. Like mine, yours works fine in Firefox and not in IE.

Sorry. I don't have a clue either. Some people at dgrin have been asking smugmug to make this a control panel option. I think the problem with IE is that it grabs the first icon it sees, then caches it. And the first icon is always smugmug's.
I finally got a start on redesigning my own smugmug site. I made a new banner image. I rearranged the galleries into catagories and sub-catagories and moved them off my home page. I added some html-only pages for info and whatnot. I'm still working on those. I also added a slideshow to the homepage. What I'm most proud of though is my new navagation menu. I created it in Visual Studio using CSS and HTML. I made the background images in PS2. The hard part was getting the buttons to stay centered on the page when the page is resized. Right now it's only a single-level menu, but I'm working on making it a multi-level dropdown/flyout menu.
Anyway, if you have a mniute, check it out and let me know what you think. micknewton.smugmug.com

Dang...now, I'm just ENVIOUS...your site looks professional, hightech and I LOVE your navigation bar. And, the biggest problem I see with your photography is all those gorgeous photos are not sitting in MY portfolio! ;-P
Just a quick sidenote that after the slideshow loaded...I was prompted for a password, but then later that disappeared when I went back to it. So maybe you were working on it while I was looking at it!
Anyways, I will have to peruse the wealth of your collection with a relaxing glass of wine, but the structure of your site looks AWESOME! The little camera icon is a perfect detail to match your title graphic with the camera and all the lenses.
Gosh...does that say...::polite cough::....CANON?!!!

I keep an eye on this thread as we have a smugmug account as well. We are slowly tweaking it trying to make it have a more professional appearance. Check it out if you are interested - Toole Photography.
Mick - I would be interested in your contact page code. Is there a thread over there that you can point me to to install that? |

| Hey Timfy--great site! How did you get it so that all of your photos in the slideshow are the same height like that? |

Tim, I got my contact form from response-o-matic *giggle*, then just dropped the code onto a html-only page. Search digigrin for "html-only page". Its not hard.
//penrodstudios.com
I'm due to renew soon. Debating whether or not to stay a SMer for another year or head off a different direction. Since I don't let clients order for themselves anymore, I really don't need that particular feature...
Edited 'cause I had the forms site name wrong.

ok - i think this is the script that I have plugged into my bio page- the bold areas are the ones that you should need to fill in to have it work. I think thats all you need. Let me know if it works for you.
