Dan's new online videos are at HGTV. There are four. There are four videos and you can watch them at the main Design Star page. They are halfway down the right side.

Listen up, Dan Vickery fans. Design Star's "fan favorite" has posted four short videos at HGTV and he's revealed plans for his upcoming HGTV.com show.

Remember that awesome nursery for Jason Priestley? And the custom bed with a sliding desktop and built-in storage in the final challenge? Evidently the fans loved those episodes so much that HGTV and Dan have decided that his online show will share ideas for kids' rooms.

Yes, that's a picture of Dan when he was young. I remember the time when my husband and I took care of Dan and his sister for a long weekend. We had two boys as well and the four — all under the age of 5 — played house in the big applicance boxes we taped together. We cut holes for doors and windows. And wouldn't you know it? Dan — the oldest — was drawing curtains around the windows and coloring them in.

Dan says he doesn't have his own children but he has a godson and has several cousins with kids and has more ideas to share. Plus, he wants your ideas. Just post them on the Design Star blog,

Dan also congratulates Season 4's winner, Antonio Ballatore, who "nailed the hosting all season long."

Dan also thanked friends, family, fans and online viewers for the votes that made sure he won the first-ever online show.

Have you wondered about some of the behind-the-scenes action? There must have been many interesting happenings. Dan shares a couple of stories, including the time that Nathan and Dan raced with shopping carts in a parking lot when they showed up an hour before the store opened. You'll have to watch the video to learn what two women were in those shopping carts.

And there's the time when Dan laughed so much that they started to laugh about his laughing - and finally determined that it sounded like a "vampire monkey."

And the memories? So many, Dan says. Even though you didn't see it on the show, the contestants had a lot of fun and made many friendships. Disconnected from the world, they often stared outside at the unheated swimming pool. But they also goofed around.

Apparently Jason Champion popped up through the middle of the big dinner table - remember the big hole in the middle - providing plenty of laughs as the "talking head."

Finally, when Dan's family and Antonio's family and friends gathered for breakfast on the first day of the final challenge, Antonio wanted to "hit on" Dan's very tall sister, Karen.

It was probably a good thing that Antonio resisted the temptation, Dan said, because Karen isn't afraid to say what she's thinking ...

I'm sure there are dozens of other stories. Think of the page views HGTV could rack up if they aired some of those hilarious moments.
