This section is an archive of
rip-her-to-shreds updates listing everything from June 1st
2003 onwards. I've done my best to make it easy to navigate
by adding an Updates Menu on the left of this page which
follows through on all the months and years I've updated
pages.
I started my first Blondie site
back in 1997 using geocities free web service and it was a
very basic 10 page site listing the main albums, singles,
videos, latest news, etc. I then moved the site to my own
server 2 years later and called it No Exit. Eventually with
the changes in technology and the growth of the internet I
wanted to start all over again. The original scans were very
small and compressed, I wasn't happy and I wanted my own
domain name and a more original site so I acquired
rip-her-to-shreds.com in September 2001. I wasn't planning or
expecting it to grow as big as it has. It's been a joy most
of the time, sometimes it's been too much and I had to stop
for a while but I'm really proud of it. Everyone who's sent
emails of encouragement, thank you. I didn't just do it for
myself, I wanted to share my collection and let people know
of some of the things that are out there on Blondie. It's a
hobby, not my life. There will be more updates in the
future, there's always more boxes of stuff and more things
that I keep finding in shops and on ebay etc.
It was an interesting task
compiling the past updates section. I was quite shocked at
how much work I'd done to the site and it's always nice to
look back and see when certain things were put online. I
hope you enjoy this section and you find it of some
interest!
