Add galleries to any page on your SmugMug site simply by dragging our Galleries content block onto your page of choice.
Note: A gallery content block is already on every gallery. This feature is for adding a galleries content block, which links to specific galleries, to any other particular page such as your homepage, a folder or custom page.

Once you've dragged the Galleries content block onto a page, you'll need to select a source for the galleries that visitors can view on the page.
You'll have many other controls to work with so you can personalize your galleries to be just right for your audience.
