Confused about Categories and Subcategories?  Don't go nuts about it.  It's just a new method of organizing.

Put photos in galleries.  Those galleries can then be organized with categories and subcategories.

Category > subcategory > gallery  > photos

You can display either galleries or categories on your SmugMug homepage.

Say you are a wedding shooter.  Simply create a new subcategory for each wedding.  So, Smith-Jones gets a subcategory.  In that Subcategory, you can now add galleries, for each part of the wedding:  Before, The Ceremony, Formals, Reception, etc.  The way it looks is just like this:

Here is the subcategories page, all your weddings would be here.   Click on one of the wedding couples, and you can see how the galleries are underneath.  Clear as mud?
