This is what I do all day
Finally, I can tell you all about a site I’ve been working on for literally months. Warhammerblogs.com is a fan site for some game, and they give away blogs. We put in some pretty cool features, too.
Kevin is the boss guy, the project lead, the whip-cracker and the one who asks the hard questions. Herb did the graphics and seriously, he’s freakin’ good. So, a part of me really needs to stress it wasn’t just me who did the whole site, it was a team effort. I pulled in Ron for some heavy coding when we needed it, too.
On my other blog, I went into the technical specs, but here I can get a little more personal, because well, it’s a different audience and here is also where I let a little bit of my angst hang out. 
This was hard. I’m amazed at the things I can do now, the stuff I was asked about and answered with a “Not sure, let me check”, I can now confidently say, “Yeah, I can DO that”.
Yeah. I can do that.
Seriously, that blows my mind.
In between loads of laundry, fixing dinner, story time & science experiments, this is what I did. The guys pushed and they challenged, helping me to just be better, and for that, I think I have to thank them. 
I’ve been online a long time, I’ve been a parent longer. I’ve run my own business, built a house, done a lot of things. They all help for where I am now, what I “do” now, on top of all those other things.
And I love it.

Firstly, great job on the coding Andrea, couldn’t have done it without you and all your tips.
To be honest, I was always more of an offline/traditional media designer, but you eased me into better web designs, with nothing short of a herculean level of patience.
In short, learned lots, had tons of fun, lost way too much sleep. But it was totally worth it because I have a great team with me. Rock on!

Congratulations. It is so good to realize that even when you didn’t plan it this way (and even couldn’t have planned it this way), everything you’ve done before does help.
