I don't think this will happen, mostly due to time constraints of mine. However, I am sure you'll be able to find other sources on how to set up a website successfully. You might want to have a look at Drupal, which I am using for this website.
I had a video up on how to make the rose cube. Only later did I contact Valerie Vann asking whether she was ok with this. This was a lapse of mine when I started doing videos. All videos that I now create are done so with permission of the designer, and old videos for which I did not get permission (mostly because I wasn't able to contact them) were removed a while ago.
I actually did succeed in contacting Valerie Vann. Unfortunately, she greatly objects to any form of instructions on her models that were not created by herself. The video on her Magic Rose Cube was the first I removed, actually. [...]
You will surely understand my reasons for removing my video. [...] I am aware of quite a few other sources being out there on how to fold her fantastic design. Obviously, it's everyone's own choice whether they will respect a designers wishes or not - or even try to find out what their wishes are.
I will add, though, that Valerie Vann totally vanished from public origami life due to many people disrespecting her wishes, and furthermore objecting to the fact that she expressed them. I find the origami community to be very warm and welcoming, and find it sad to see that in some cases respect is missing for the time and effort creators of models put into them.
I am also aware of the fact that many designers love to share their models, and some might not understand why Valerie wants to restrict the ways in which her work is spread. In the end, though, it is her own decision, and it should not be questioned, but respected.
Finally, I felt her answer to my query was quite aggressive. This makes me believe she is still deeply hurt, and angered, by the way people just use her ideas without asking her. It made me feel quite bad about making a video on her design. I want to promote origami in general, and the work of some fantastic designers. In this I want to help enrich the community. Valerie's objections showed me that it is important to double-check what you are doing is not going to have unwanted effects.
This is so great - I used to make similar looking Origami when I was a i´kid. I recently cam acroos this really cool artist called Hélio Oiticica who makes origami type art work - its really interesting . . .
Check http://www.happyfold... for a video on how to fold Eric Joisel's rat. It depends very much on your skill level how long it takes to complete it. I'd say for your first fold up to an hour, once you know the model maybe 15 minutes.
