Who are running the site?
My names is Mary and you can read more about me here and about the site here.

Do you get paid for this?
No we don’t earn anything on the site and we pay for all magazines, clippings, movies, etc ourselves.

How did you make this site?
We did all the html in Editpad and all graphics has been made in Paint Shop Pro 9 or Adobe Photo Shop. The domain is hosted at Free Fansite Hosting and the domain was bought at GoDaddy.com. We use WordPress for our daily news and Coppermine for our gallery and video archive – we can recommend all of these scripts!

Why did www.hilaryswankfan.com close?
Maria started www.hilaryswankfan.com in December 2004 and had the site for several months, after Hilary got her second oscar for Million Dollar Baby she got amazingly popular again and Maria simply didn’t have the time to run the site any longer. With school and work in “real life”.

Our friend Stef took over the site for some months but even she got lack of time after a while and now some months later we decided to re-open Hilary Swank Fan at domain www.hilaryswankfan.org, because we missed the site terribly! And in May 2008 the site changed it’s url to www.hilary-swank.org and the site now celebrates 7 years online! In 2008/2009 Maria had to leave the site as main webmaster because of lack of time but she still is a staffer at the site. And in 2016 the site can be find at it’s current domain – www.hilary-swank.com
