Your Homepage: Arrange galleries

Display either categories or galleries

Galleries listing

When you first open your SmugMug account, having too many galleries to show on your SmugMug homepage is not a problem. Therefore, SmugMug lists them by title, with a thumbnail photo for each one.

When SmugMug addiction takes hold and you create, say, 100 galleries, your homepage will become looong and slooooow for dial-up users to load. The solution is to display your galleries by category.

Categories may contain many galleries.

When you're logged in, your home page will display the option to display by galleries or categories.

arrange photo galleries

Click categories and we'll show only categories on your SmugMug homepage with a thumbnail by each category that comes from the first gallery in each category.

Note: Categories with five or fewer galleries will show the larger thumbnails in a single column. When you add a sixth gallery, the view changes to accommodate smaller thumbnails in two columns.

Arranging galleries

Arrange galleriesArrange online galleries

By default, SmugMug sorts your galleries by most recent and displays recently added-to galleries first. You can sort them in a different order by clicking the Position link.


You'll see those words change so that you now have an arrange link. Click that.

Now you can scoot your galleries into the order you'd like. Just click on any gallery thumbnail and it will highlight in red. Now use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move it, or you can use the quick move and quick sort options to speed things up.

Organize galleries

When you've got things arranged perfectly, click save changes. That's all there is to it.
