Please -- can you help with Smugmug?

I'm trying to actually create a site that clients can browse. Up until now, the 4-5 shoots that I've done, I've just stuck in a folder.

I've just started working on it, and I've already run into a problem. I just want to add another content block to the page underneath the folders. It may be a slideshow, galleries, not sure yet, but I can't add a content block to the page. When I added the folders, I dragged that content block onto the title part, and it gave me 4 arrows so I could chose to place it above, below, to the left or to the right. Now when I try any content block, it just shows me a circle with a line through it and I can't place it anywhere on the page.

Do you have any idea what's happening? I'm really not figuring out the new smugmug, that's why I haven't bothered doing anything with it since they upgraded. Now I have to. I have to set this up by tomorrow night.

Thanks in advance!

Are you doing this in the HTML Editor?
or the drag and drop method they offer?

I'm using the tutorials, too, and they show that I should get the four arrows that appear, that just doesn't happen anymore.

I'm using the drag and drop method

That also says to drag it on the page, but I can't do that part. :(

Can you create me a guest username and password so I can log into see what's going on?

Ok -- I figured it out. I couldn't drag a gallery onto the page, because galleries had sub options of folders, galleries, etc. I just saw gallery and tried to drag it over. Once I expanded the list, I grabbed that gallery and could drag it over.

Sigh. I'll get this figured out someday.

Thanks for helping me talk it through!
