Redesign Steps
It’s taken hours and hours of hard work, and I couldn’t have done it without James Wiseman, Markus Nolf, and Alex King.
1. Redesign mockup using Adobe Photoshop (Eric)
2. Code the HTML and CSS from mockup (Eric)
3. Purchase and install Expression Engine and Invision Board (with peripheral modules) on staging server (Eric)
4. Set up dedicated server (Austin Web Development)
5. Continue to get Wetpixel content posted (James)
6. Keep POTW running (Markus)
7. On staging server, code up unified login code in PHP and MySQL (Alex, Eric)
8. Code up user profile sync code in PHP and MySQL (Alex and Eric)
9. Code up content migration and cleanup code in PHP and MySQL (Alex, Eric)
10. Code up old URL redirect code in PHP (Alex)
11. Redesign templates to support all migrated metadata (Eric)
12. Configure new adserver engine to support all old ads (Eric)
13. Test migration, debugging, and code fix (Eric, Alex)
14. File and database move to production server (Eric)
15. Test migration (Eric)
16. Production migration (Eric)
17. “Massaging” of data to make things *actually* work (Eric)
18. Lots of additional configuration (Eric)
19. Server location switch in code + DNS server switch at Network Solutions (Eric)
So there we go. I’m sure I missed something, so if you notice anything strange, please leave me feedback!

Eric and whoever else spent however long this must have taken, and the decisions behind the software choices well done, I really haven’t had a good play yet, but through the shock of the drastic change I like the instant feel of it.
Well done ya’ll
