Originally coded in ASP from the ground up in 2006. A later upgrade changed the design into a tableless format & added a C#.NET component to watermark, dynamically resize, and cache photos. In 2010 it was converted to PHP & MySQL and Gallery3 was added for photo management. Started using YUI3 in January 2010 for various features, like search autocomplete, keyword highlighting, and overlays containing the matching photo thumbnails of a keyword on the page. In March 2010, a new home page was designed with CSS3 & JQuery to emphasize the two distinct areas of the site; blog photo gallery. In April 2010 I developed a theme for the photo gallery, Gallery3, to bring the design of this section of my website more inline with the look and feel of the rest of the site while still maintaining a unique identity.
