My very own grand scheme, the ‘Web Design Club’ (which I will shorten to WDC from now on) is starting to happen.

Tomorrow I will be sending out all the flyers to the tutor groups of my school, inviting them to join in and register to take part.

I did this A4 flyer in about 30 minutes (writing and all). I may have gone overboard with the whole ‘North Somerset’s Leading Web Designer’ statement, but I ask you this: how many other web designers do you know from North Somerset? And if you DO happen to know one, can they do it as good as I can?

Well, it sounds rather big-headed (don’t you worry, I am very aware of that), but I’m trying to do the ‘hard sell’ on these guys. I want them to be excited by this.

You may notice that I havenÂ’t mentioned any names on the flyer. Well, I have done this just in case people in years 9 and 10 recognise my name and donÂ’t bother to sign up (thinking that itÂ’s just by some guy from year 12).

Sneaky tactics? Yes. Totally.

 Anonymous: Unless UK English has taken a turn for the worse, "talent" still has one "l," by the way.
"North Somerset's leading web designer..." it sounds like a stretch, but after a little nosing around via Google, I suppose it isn't one. It does sound a little egotistical, bordering on narcissism - but, of course, saying anything less would probably be patronizing (or, I suppose "patronising") false modesty.
Hmm, I wish I had someone that actually was capable of web design and graphic art at your level in my school - after all, perhaps I might finally get around to learning some database language and PHP and all that fun stuff - but, alas, no such luck. We do have lots of web designers in New York, coincidentally.

 Fin: I honestly don't believe it!

I spell-checked everything in that document, bar that very sentence, which I put in quickly at the last minute (thinking about how I am useless at drawing and 'design' might put people who share my disability off).

Nicely spotted, and quickly changed.

 Stezie: You sound just like the kind of guy my friend Rick is. It's quite scary. Good luck on your blog.

 Brian: Fast Food Nation and Naked were excellent books.

 Fin: They sure were Brian. Aww Sparrow :( why don't you try leaving posts on other people's random blogs and then they might come back and say hi!

 Fin: lol I bet there are loads of people who would want a bit of your enthusiasm!

 Fin: Oh! The leaflets have gone out today, and before I go home from school I'll be sure to check to see if there are any sign-ups yet!
