January 27, 2007: an everything update

Our media source Sparkly was looking a little drab and since that rather boring layout was done on a whim, I’ve fixed it up a bit! In addition to that I’ve added lots of graphics, which I know everyone loves. After doing a little inventory, we’ve got (all under my section) 14 new Emma icons, 5 for the co-stars and 5 under Potter.

Another addition to Sparkly includes some pretty fantastic new tutorials I’ve cooked up. The first one explains how to acheive a cool “fragmented” effect - but don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself! Next up is not only one other tutorial, but TWO! They’re a collection of colouring techniques, displayed in icon size for minimum loading time. View those here. You can expect quite a few more of those to be added in the near future - I’m kind of addicted.

In the fanzone I’ve added some new responses to Why Emma? and Favourite Pairing. Thanks to Natalie, Lauren, R/Hr Fan and Hermione Weasley for your submissions. I’ve got everything from the graphics competition and fan of the month - don’t worry about that! Remember that if you want to be our fan of the month submit your answer by this Wednesday, January 31!

Last but not least, some new affiliates have been added: Lunarry, Samaire Armstrong Online, Brilliant Bookworm, Ron and Hermione Source, Evanna Lynch Online and Magic Dust.

Don’t forget to vote for Emma as your favourite Potter star in the BBC Newsround Poll, and by the way - thank you for all the donations! I’m going to start adding those soon as I can.

EDIT! Thank you to Sarah over at Princess Clemence for the faboo Site of the Month award! You can view the award right here. Thank you again, Sarah! - Kaetlyn

EDIT: I nominated I♥W at Forever-Miley Awards, so hopefully when voting starts up you’ll help us out! - Karly

January 25, 2007: Yet More Form Fixing!

I’ve done yet more form fixing! A number of you let me know that the affiliates form wasn’t working so I checked that out, and indeed, I’d linked the wrong script! That’s fixed now, however, and should be good and usable.

We’d like to mention, however, that we’re being very picky about affiliates. We’d rather not accumulate too many so we’re taking only the best sites. If your site was affiliated with Emma-W.com, Mystic-Magic.net, EmmaLove.org, or MysticMagic.net, we ask that you please remove your old link and reapply if you’d still like to be affiliated. Thanks so much!

Oh, and to all those who’ve given us compliments on the large, gorgeous and simple-to-understand, high-quality, untagged, rare-images gallery - we thank Kaetlyn a million times, she truly is Teh Photo Goddess!

EDIT: I’ve started on the appearances gallery, so browse around there and enjoy. Oh, and happy Australia Day to any Australians out there (like meeeee!), and don’t forget to watch the fireworks! And because I was bored, I redid the gallery and made it all pretty and what not. Before you ask - it is a fanmade poster thing, WB didn’t release it (if you look real closely you can see that iit’s the old Voldie poster on top of the new trio promo). Allison and I have also been busy little beavers adding 30+ icons to the icon archive. See y’all. Added February’s calender to the calendar section of Sparkly, so feel free to download. - Kaetlyn

January 24, 2007: Semi-New OOTP Picture

This will be a really short update as I have no time to, really. But Univers Harry Potter has one of the photos we saw earlier in better quality, and I thought it was worth posting! Hopefully we’ll get it in high quality soon

EDIT: I went through and fixed up the gallery pages, so everything was changed and modified and tweaked. Also, I’ve finished the entire press section. So now you can view pictures from both the press and premieres section. Enjoy! - Kaetlyn
