Mercury: A New Life
By Dan on July 14, 2009 3:36 PM
This site has been around a while now. It's been through several frameworks starting with the old WebKit Fusion framework. This was replaced by the WebKit PageEdit platform. Both of those ran on ColdFusion. Tonight I am pleased to unwrap the newest version running on the new WebKit Mercury framework! This one is built on PHP and keeps this site in sync with the direction of WebKit.
Each picture on this site now has a distinct, SEO-friendly URL. Each picture is now served with a static URL as well, bypassing any engine-processing. All of the thumbnails on this site are now consistent in size and cropped as squares. We're running on a new blog module and a new content management module.
Mercury is also equipped to offer social networking capabilities, sort of like Facebook. This means forums, profiles, messaging, public and private groups and a whole lot more. Most of those features don't really pertain to this site but I have a few other sites that will hopefully be launching before too very long that will be using it.
If you have any feedback for me, or if you find any bugs, please use the contact page to let me know!

Site Rebuilt in Mercury

I have rebuilt this entire site in my new Mercury engine. I plan to give it a facelift at some point in the near future.
I moved 115 categories of photos and almost 3000 actual photos. I ported the blog over and made a bunch of tweaks to Mercury to make it all happen.
I've enjoyed the ColdFusion run but I have to admit that I'm super jazzed about the new PHP framework i've built and am deploying. Mercury is the best thing I've ever built.

It's been a while since I've posted. Here is a shot of me and Cassandra. Thanks to Norris for the use of his system to shoot this.

Here she is. The card series is my idea, the Day of the Dead theme was hers. She did the makeup, I did the photography and the post-. Enjoy!
