New bug pics and hatch info

I've just finished about 20 months of work creating an online
encylopedia of American fly hatches, illustrated with thousands of
closeup bug pics, mostly of mayflies.

If you'll forgive the promotion (it's quite on-topic!) here's the link:
http://www.troutnut.com

For those familiar with the old version of the site: the new one has
about four times more pictures and much better information about all
the hatches.

Saying that you have nice pics is an understatement. Very cool stuff.

Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless. Really.

Very nice work......and not just the photos. Good website work too.
Do you use a content management system to generate all those
pages? Which one? How does it work?

I wrote the CMS from scratch, which is why it took me so long (about 20
months) to get this new version of the site online. None of the other
CMS software out there would do most of the things I wanted --
taxonomic hierarchy, common names integrated everywhere, glossary terms
with clickable definitions, book citations almost automatic, etc. It
was a lot of work but it pays off now that this site is so easy to
improve and add to.

Well it is nice work. My site too, although much less impressively.
montana-riverboats.com is generated from a cms I wrote from
scratch....using php/mysql. I put the code for mine on phpclasses.org,
where it gets a few dozen downloads a week (hint).

I'd love to see the code you wrote on an opensource download site.
But if you want to keep it close your chest, I understand that too.
You do have a very good site. One of the best fly fishing sites on the
net.

This is the first time I've looked at your site. Really nice photos and
great info. In fact, it's one of the best sites of its kind I've seen.
