A Message from the Webmaster

Bill Thompson

Welcome to The Temple of the Elder. This is a website devoted to hottest band in the world... KISS!

Just so you know the message board and the feedback form are down and won't be back up for the forseeable future. At some point I hope to get them back active again.

My goal is not to be the "be all end all" of KISS sites but to present the most important and useful information in one easy to access spot and to provide links to some of the best sources of news and information about KISS as I can. I hope you enjoy your visit to the Temple of the Elder and come back often.

Thanks,

Bill

Design Philosophy

I tried to create a fast loading, eye-pleasing, easy to navigate site. Graphics are used to enhance content not to replace content. When graphics are used they should be fast loading, compact, and shouldn't distract. Navigation should be simple and straight forward. Users shouldn't get lost in the site. The site should be as cross browser compatable as possible and load the same in every browser possible. I have not tried to create the ultimate KISS site containing everything possible, but I do strive to present the most useful and important information in one easy to access spot and to also provide links to what I feel are the best sources of news and information about KISS.
