How much of your own money do you spend on Tara a year? It seems like A LOT!!
Oh gosh, I have no idea, I've never really thought about it. I think if I can buy these things, why not?

Certain sent to Tara were bought with money donated by the fans, like the rose necklace.

Tara got it directly from 20th Century Fox and the musician who did the music for the movie, so it is extremely hard to find. Your best bet would be a downloading program like Kazaa, but I don't know if the instrumental version is available anywhere.

You update your site almost every day, which is the reason I use it as my homepage, how much work is it to keep a site like this updated on a daily basis? It seems like a pretty big commitment (of course with Tara, I know it's worth it).
It depends on the updates and how much free time I have. This site is done in my spare time, so updates come according to how much free time I have. I dont see it as a commitment, because I'm not obligated to do this site. The only reason I do it, is because I know Tara, her friends, and her fans appreciate it.
Do you do any other websites with another person or about some one else?
No, TaraRulz.com is my only website.

At the top of your keyboard, after the F12 button there is a button that says 'Print Scrn / SysRq'. Push it once and it copys a picture of the entire screen onto the clipboard. To make the screen captures from television I use a video capture program.
Do you have a message board of your own?
I used to, but I moved to a faster server and the board stopped working. If fans want to talk, Tara has a great official message board.
How many Tara pictures total do you have saved on your computer?

No, they have always just been friends.
What is the worst thing about having this website?
I get really upset and annoyed when things from this website are copyed/taken and used elsewhere. I spend lots of time coming up with new ideas to make this website creative, original, and fun. People will just do things on their sites identical to mine, or they will just be lazy and take my codes. I just think that if you have a website, make it original, you don't have to take other people stuff. Just take a little extra time to think unique things up.
Do have have to send Tara your own photo in the mail with your letter to get a real autograph, or will she supply her own photo AND actually sign it herself? You would have a better chance of getting an autograph if your mailed Tara a picture to sign.
Where do you download your fonts?
I downloaded them from a bunch of places. DaFont.com has a lot of good ones.
