Your the one that introduced us to it!
Ha... I dont know who said it was easy!!! It took me over 50 hours to get it to where it is today!!! <~ Thats comming from someone who is HTML illiterate!
After doing it once, I would be able to do it much quicker the next time but still, there is a code for every little thing! <~ I might as-well have created a HTML webpage from scratch!

Very true but with the Professional Account, you can link your own domain name to your smugmug account! Thats one thing that I did like about it!!! In all reality, once the visitor has typed
www.cemayhall.com they probably wont look at the url box again! If they do, they most likely DONT know what smugmug is!

FYI: If you really wanted to, you are able to use/ create your own layout (ONLY with the professional account!) <~ It takes a lot of HTML knowledge that I dont have. I like the simplicity of my webpage! I think its look professional, VERY easy to navigate/ use, and doesnt confuse visitors (which is what matters the most!)
In My Opinion, Smugmug is a great website but the initial set-up can be very frustrating!!!
