Welcome To The Hellmouth

Welcome to Emily The Vampire Slayer, my name is Emily (surprised?) & this is my personal webspace that is free for me to say as I like in. You don't agree with my ramblings? That's fine, leave. I'm not out to offend or upset anyone but, like most, I'm very opiniated... that can often get in the way of my desire to be friends with everyone I meet because I won't drop my beliefs for anyone. Why should I? But feel free to take a look around and comment my blogs. Any questions, issues or complaints can be addressed here.
Bigger Fish?

Am I moving on upwards or biting off more than I can chew? Probably both. I haven't posted here in a while and too much stuff has happened. See the thing is, on the Dollhouseforums website they asked if anyone would be willing to start up a fansite for the upcoming show by my favourite creator: Joss Whedon. They would get their own domain for free and have full control of it. This is a really big thing. The site in question, www.dollhousefans.com - belongs to me. Yes, ME!
The reason it is such a big thing... well, think about. Joss Whedon's shows, especially Buffy, are some of the most-loved and well-known in the world. Now he's got a new show, previous fans are going nuts, these people are off their heads anyway... so they're definitely going to want to visit a site telling them all about the show and its characters and keeping them updated. If this became a BIG thing, which, chances are, it will, my site will be overrun with visitors, comments and people gasping for my attention. It has the potential to be something really fantastic, I could maybe even earn a lot of money from it. I'm not doing it to get money or anything... but imagine...
Anyways, thats the great bit. The site will be a hit, I know it will. I'm amazed that a 16 year old girl from Altofts pulled this off with not that much effort. I got Mandie to make and code the layout and I did all the FTP stuff, which AHA! I finally get. So the site looks great and people who wouldn't look twice at my websites before, are now begging to be affies with me, cos they know how big this thing is and what it could mean for their hit counters being linked with me. These people aren't stupid. But, wait, hang on. There's a downside to everything.
Nathan, who gave me the site, says he loves MOST of it. Emphasis on the most. He keeps asking me to change a little bit here and a little bit there. I'm not that good and I think he believes I am. He doesn't know how old I am and I don't want to break it to him that most of what I do is figured out at the time and I'm really not that certain of anything: graphics, coding, favicons... He's been lovely and patient; I just really wish I knew someone who was a real expert on this stuff who I could consult at home and still keep my star status with Nathan. He has my login details and I've explained that he is welcome to change things that he thinks need it, I'm hoping he doesn't ask me to do it... I honestly don't know what I'll say.
