I have recently moved my web content to smugmug.  Does anyone have any good references for CSS customization.  I am a little lost with all of this code talk, but I want a good looking site.  I don't mind learning, I just want to see where fellow photog's are getting some information.  Thanks!

Try doing a search on Youtube for: How to use Smugmug. I saw several videos listed. I was considering using SM myself and haven't made a decision yet which I am going to go with.

Smugmug is cool. Very customizable.  I think there are some folks around here that do custom Smugmug pages.

How involved of a customization are you looking for? Maybe I can help.

The best place is really the forums at dgrin.com.  They are the official forums for smugmug, and some very experience people hang out there.

Smugmug is a PITA if you aren't experienced with CSS, luckily CSS isn't very hard, it's the weird things that SM makes you do that makes it difficult.

I'm just looking for a nice flash or java intro, and then a clean look into my galleries, perhaps with some animation.  Nothing extremely fancy (says the guy who doesn't know the difficulties of the code), but more than the basic look the SM template gives me.

Yup, I second checking out http://www.dgrin.com/

There is a specific sub-forum for customization.
