How kiss.ch Is Organized: A Navigation Guide to the Swiss KISS Collector Site

Updated

kiss.ch is a dated blog-style archive, not a menu-driven catalog. Content is organized as a reverse-chronological feed of posts, each with a title, a date, and a short excerpt, with older material reached through "Older posts" and page links (Page 1, Page 2). If you are looking for a specific event, member interaction, or media appearance, the fastest route is to scan post titles rather than expect a section menu.

How the homepage feed works

Each entry on the homepage follows the same pattern: a headline, one or more dates, and an excerpt that sometimes continues with a "read more..." link. The dates can be confusing because posts often carry two — for example, a December 3, 2023 date alongside a March 24, 2023 date on the Lenita Erickson / Bruce Kulick post. Treat the headline as the primary identifier and the dates as context for when an item was posted or updated.

The feed mixes several kinds of content without separating them into categories:

  • Collection and credit notices — posts noting that the owner's collection photos appeared in official KISS releases, such as the credits of the Creatures Of The Night 40th Anniversary Edition and the Destroyer 45th Anniversary Edition.
  • Media appearances — for example, the Kiss-Special on Radio 1 with an interview, aired January 23, 2022, with a replay on January 26, 2022.
  • Member interactions — birthday wishes from Bruce Kulick and from Eric, and a post about Bruce's personal awards.
  • Collectibles and stories — the four Canadian Crazy Nights awards presented to Gene, Paul, Eric, and Bruce, and the KISS End Of The Road tourbook in which collection photos were used.
  • TV reports — a ZüriInfo report on the collection, including a Meet & Greet at the Hallenstadion.

Finding older posts

The bottom of the feed provides "Older posts" plus numbered page links (Page 1, Page 2, Next). This is the only visible browsing mechanism in the provided page evidence. There is no category list, tag index, or search box documented, so plan to page through the archive or use your browser's find function on a loaded page to locate a title.

Practical navigation tips

  • Start from the title, not the date. Dual dates on many posts make chronological scanning unreliable.
  • Use "read more..." links. Excerpts are truncated; the full story, including the award history or the radio description, sits behind the link.
  • Expect a personal, first-person voice. Posts are written from the collector's perspective ("I provided a few pictures of my collection," "I had the possibility to obtain all 4 Canadian awards"), so treat them as a collector's log rather than an institutional archive.
  • Check the credits posts if you need verification. They are the clearest documented link between this site and official KISS releases.

The site does not publish pricing, membership, or login information in the provided material, so nothing here should be read as indicating paid access or open access beyond what the pages themselves show.
