..:7th May 2003..:Fiona(whoelse):.:updates, news, etcetera.
Design:
I have been told that the scrollbar stutters, for which I cannot find any other reason that maybe it is because the writing has a dropshadow (which I did not code in, if you webmasters know what I am talking about, and am trying to de-code a way into stopping it from having a dropshadow, which incidentally did not even appear on my computer, due to the AOL explorer... annoying thing).
Will be adding a new OOP (order of the phoenix, if you don't know already) section, and have been doing more advertising - which the site desperately needs. If you need someone to affiliate with, pick nimbus - or just link me anyway, if possible.
J.K. Rowling now earns more than the queen, says the SEVEN NEWS the other week - seventy five million more a year (apparently). JK goes from poor-as-a-churchmouse-sole-parent to the richest woman in Britain (surpassing the Queen in riches), if not the world; with a husband and another child. Congratulations, JK :)

..:18th April 2003..:Fiona:.:a holiday escape and new affiliates
G'day, potter world. From tomorrow on, I am going to the coast to have a little bit of a holiday over the easter holidays :) So I won't be able to update, I'm afraid. That is, unless I get access to a computer, but even then I'll probably just be e-mailing. So yes... just to give you's a heads up.
I have added new affiliates, and have entered in on the mugglenet topsites list (you can see it on the right hand side).
Thanks everyone. BEACH... HERE I COME!

..:17th April 2003..:Fiona:.:Another New Layout
Hey. I've made yet another new layout because the other one was too impractical - I hope this one is more self explanatory :)
Everyone who visits this site - peoples, I need some people in the quiz games on the fun and interactive list to the right. If you're waiting for QK, please, be very patient and join the duel in the meantime. I need something to do on my holidays (as it is the school holidays where I am).
Thanks,
Fiona

..:24th March 2003..:Fiona:.:Noo Layout, Noo Features
Here I am again, with a new layout and adding new stuff in! Surprise surprise :P
So, what do you peoples think? It's not complete yet (don't bother clicking 'reads' because it doesn't work yet... I haven't made it, and I haven't added some links. I'm still working on everything).
I'm adding in a new kind of quizzing, called QKwidditch. Please, do not copy me on my new brilliant idea because I want it to be my own. Yes, there will be teams, and I am still formulating my rules and regulations, not to mention how many teams there will be.
So please, if anyone wants to participate, please keep checking back in the next two days - I think it'll be up by then :)
Thanks,
the webmistress Fiona

..:31st January 2003..:Fiona:.:New Year, Visitor Notes
Happy (belated) New Year, everyone! I hope all of you enjoyed your summer holidays (you australians, like me, have already gone back to school from the summer holidays), and that you are having a wonderful time at school.
Everyone else, I hope you meet your new years resolutions.
I am thinking of getting a guestbook for my visitors so that whenever someone comes to my site, I will know about it. Although, since nobody is participating in my duelling club, I am unsure that anyone is taking any interest in this site whatsoever, along with the news, and most of the other activities that everyone can participate in.
I have ceased to update my news since the start of November because I did not know that anyone was going to my website. However, I will continue to update if I know that people are following my news updates in this site. Thank you, I have to go to english now, gotta zip~!

..:3rd November 2002..:Fiona:.:CLIPS!WEEHEE!
Wow! I found this FABULOUS bit of yahoo (hugs it to death) that has all these clips and interviews from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! (the interviews of the stars, of course...) So, if you like to see heaps of clips, and are really impatient for the movie, then go ahead!
Click this link! You won't regret it - 'n'less you don't like spoilers!
guys, I'm soo sorry I have abandonned the site for a little while, I'm trying to shake my addictive phase of being on the internet. ^_^;; But I really do hope this makes up for it! (I have to thank my friend Tegan's mother - Darlene - for finding this site, thus giving me knowledge to share with the world of Harry Potter fans ^_~)
Later!
PS: I'm adding a fanart section, enjoy, mah friends!

..:22nd October 2002..:Fiona:.:morebooks?
I got this from YAHOOLIGANS!

Three extra Harry Potter titles registered at the UK Patent Office could mean an unexpected treat is in store for fans of the schoolboy wizard, the Scotsman newspaper said on October 21, 2002. Author J.K. Rowling has always maintained that the best-selling series would end with the seventh book. Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint are seen in this undated publicity photo from 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', set to debut on November 3. (Warner Bros./Reuters)

Could it be TRUE?!

..:15th October 2002:.:Fiona:.:cancerbattle:..
Got this from Dark Mark who got it from CBBC Newsround:
Actor Richard Harris, who plays Professor Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, has been battling with cancer. Richard, 72, has been receiving treatment in a London hospital for the last two months.

There were fears that he wouldn't be well enough to start filming the third Harry Potter movie, The Prisoner of Azkaban, which is due to start shooting early next year.

..:7th October 2002:.:Fiona:.:funkybanners:..
Look at these funky banners I got at hp.com!

I have the sword of Griffindor because I am the descendent of Griffindor - fear me! I am not afraid to use it!

I have a wand, and I am not afraid to use it... shaboom!

I am holding something and I do not know what it is!

look into the crystalline depths and you will see... a heckuva lotta smoke...

Aren't they cool? Gotta go - form time!!

..:24 September 2002:.:Fiona:.:NewNimbus:..
Welcome to the new and improved Nimbus! It's got a flashy new layout (which I thank Peachie for! They taught me how to do frames, so now my site looks pretty.) I'm still adding stuff, building on and the such, so be happy. It's going to look very nice when I'm finished, mind you.
