Well, for the past few days, Estrella has had some major work done to it.Among many things, Estrella has been revamped by a friend of the site, Kristen. Kristen is from California and you find out more about her at www.imaraptor.tk. We are all very thankful for what she has done to the site and I think it’s a wonderful job. Tell us what you think.

We recently have just had a member leave, Katie. I’m sure you all remember her, we all here wish her the best in whatever she tends to do in the future.

I’m also aware that I do not have staff pictures for anyone but Bryan. They will be coming very shortly. I also know that the Guestbook & Messageboard do not work, but they will be fixed soon enough.

Our new band of the month is, Number One Fan, you can find that in the Spotlight section. Just click on the picture in the bottom left hand corner of Estrella and it takes you to the page.

Also, if you didn’t know, Estrella is also on LJ & Myspace. On LJ – estrellazine and on myspace search for Alexa@estrellaonline.com. Just letting you know! I hope you enjoy the new site and give us your thoughts!

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m doing some catching up on the site and here are some things that have happened. Estrella now has a new interview with the band Hawthorne Heights, one of Victory Record’s latest signings, so go check that out.Another thing is Estrella has lost a staff member, Kaitlin, decided to start her own webzine which we all support – Little Victories. We wish her nothing but the best with her decisions and new webzine, I’m sure she’ll do just great. We have also gained another member to our staff, Sara. Sara has been on contributing staff for some time now, we decided that now was the best time to move her up to staff. Everyone say hi and wish her luck!

But I think that’s all the updates for now. We’ll keep you posted on when new things are added to the site. Enjoy!

There are some really good CDs coming out in the next two weeks. I can’t wait for Down To Earth Approach, to see all of the new CD releases check out the “Spotlight” section of the website. That is all!
– Alexa [3.59am]June 25, 2004.
Due to some accidental deletions, which will be found later, the news part of the website is not available right now. The only thing I can think of that was very important is that today marks the beginning of the 10th Anniversary Warped Tour. Hopefully, all of you will be able to make it out to at least one Warped Tour show this year!
