I started writing a site about Sash!. Actually I wanted to make a site with more artists, like Madonna etc. You can't talk about moreSash! with this site; because although the design and meaning of the site are a bit the same, the name of the site didn't even exist. At that time, the site was called "The Music Gallery". At the Sash! page I made audio samples (.wav). These were much too big: together about 14 MB. And there were some problems with uploading to the server, so I stuck the idea of this site. |
 |
I started searching again and found the open directory project (= site with in this case a lot of Sash! links on it). The first sites I opened were: Sash!World & Encore Une Fois!. At that last site was a special forum, where visitors can give their opinion about different Sash! subjects. This was the really first time I wrote something on the internet. I liked it pretty much. So a little later I joined the Yahoo-Unofficial Sash Club, founded by Petter Nykvist. Neil Turner (founder of Sash!World) told in one of his comments at this club a method to make realaudio files. So I started thinking: "I still have got that old site, maybe I can make a Sash! site of it". |

I used
the old site as the home page and made a few new sections; links and about
6 non finished sections. I also recorded a lot of new audio stuff that
I edited and made realaudio files of it. I searched for a server and found
one. This page was online since April the 16th of 2000, but it wasn’t ready
yet. At that time it wasn't in frames, didn't have a navigation bar nor
a title/head bar.

Till May
the 4th I gathered about 25 visitors (My about 20 visits included!). From
that May the 4th on, I put my site partially offline. That means, I created
a white page on which I told the advances and the day moreSash! would go
back online (=May the 20th). Even when this page was online it already
became a member of the 'Sash! Network', an idea by Richard "Richie" Duncan.
Week by week I added new parts and files. But a week before the 20th, I
felt that I needed one extra week, so the real opening was on May the 27th
of 2000. The Links section which I created before was removed, because
of the bad background, and the too extended information.

This time it was in frames and contained more sections (Your Think, Biography, Lyrics, Audio, Collabs, Midis & Site Info). A week later the Guest Book and Links section were introduced. After some weeks (I guess 2) the Singles section became a new separated section, because first it was part of the Home page (with the news and the thank yous). In the last weeks on June the title bar/logo were re-sized, as they were much too big. And in the first week of July, the Video section was added to moreSash!. The updatings of this section were still not finished in the beginning of September. Soon will the "Your Think" (actually: "What Do YOU Think") section be removed, and new sections be added. |

But then, in February 2001, the worst thing that could happen seemed to happen: Go.com was about to close its services (including the homepages), because of a lack of money. This meant that more Sash! would die soon. I already had been making new midis and other stuff, but this news made me decide to close down the whole site. At the same time I got fed up with design, so thought about a totally re-designing. I throwed away all the moving smilies from the links section, the move tvs of the video section, and changed all pages into the same style. And so it happened. |
