It isn't uncommon for me to dispense with the accolades of my Jedi Master, Tim Devine, and his works seen over at The Magic in Pixels. But, this time, I get the proud opportunity to announce something that I played a big part in helping make happen.
Over the past few months, Tim and I have been arduously and painstakingly working on a new and improved The Magic in Pixels site.
This has involved finding a new host, a new platform for the content and Tim painfully rebuilding his photo gallery with new pictures and layout.
In addition to the content overhaul, Tim and I have implemented a brand-new store package. This, in our opinion, is much more user-friendly than the former store and hope people will take the time to check it out as well.
The thing that makes us excited about the new site, is that the main content is managed through a Content Management System (CMS) rather than the code-in-notepad HTML method Tim was having to deal with before.
Now, with the same ease of my writing this blog post, a new article, review, or Photography tip up can be posted up to the site.
The forums have stayed the same and were moved to the new host as well.
Since rolling out the new site, Tim has managed to produce a couple new articles and we even got a submission from one of our very loyal members.
So, if you've never been to The Magic In Pixels, now is the perfect time to check it out. If you have been there before and have become the prodigal child, please come back. We don't bite, I promise.
Officially, we are declaring this a "Soft Opening" (yeah we used Disney-speak). So, bugs, quirks, oddities could happen, but aren't expected, as it gets it's first exposure to a normal load of visitors.
In honor of this "Soft Opening", Tim has decided to offer a 20% discount on your entire purchase in his store. Just use the coupon code: "SOFTOPEN" (no quotes). This coupon can be used repeatedly until the promotional period ends.
As I've said on the TMIP forums, The Magic in Pixels may be populated by Disney Photography Enthusiasts, but it's is still a photography site at it's core foundation. So, if there is anything you want to see discussed or written about, feel free to let us know. It doesn't have to be a Disney photography related topic to get coverage.
This was a fun and exciting project for me to be involved with because I learned a lot in the process. Have fun.
