How about best practices, good habits and stuff like that.You can validate your page here http://validator.w3.org/ that checks your pages for offenses against the official WEB specifications. I tried, you only had a few  Pieter

Most of those "errors" are due to Dreamweaver. 90% are due to having "<br>" instead of "<br />". I can fix them in notepad but they would probably just get reinserted when the page is opened and saved in Dreamweaver again. Not worth the hassle and would only really matter if you tried to process the page source as strict XHTML which most browsers don't.

Investigating them, it appears that I mixed a little HTML markup in the xHTML page. That appears to be a no - no. As whurlston suggested closing the break tag fixed a load of those. I cleaned up a couple more: capitals where they should be lower case and that sort of thing. All in it's down to 23 now: more than half of those are related to the donate code for paypal and I don't want to go messing with that . A couple had to stay to maintain IE6 compatibility. The only ones left that I don't really get are the bunch of "XML Parsing Error's" at the bottom. I was really careful to open and close elements and even indent them similarly in the xHTML, to keep track.Thanks again for the suggestion Pieter, learned another little bit  .

sub,
I know the timing on this never really worked out, but this site is good to go and at the least looks better than what's there at the moment. It's been up and running on whurlston's server for a couple of months now and seems fine: [URL="http://www.epgtools.com/GB-PVR/website/"] http://www.epgtools.com/GB-PVR/website/[/URL] I've attached a zip of the site if you have any interest.

Hairy Wrote:sub,Thanks. I have been thinking about this recently. I've been thinking about how I can emphasize the NPVR side of things, but without totally removing "GB-PVR" from the wording etc, since alot of people will come looking for GBPVR and havnt heard of NPVR. I'll do a bit more thinking on the subject.

Can we change the "G" to an "N" in the logo or do we need a new logo too? (Yes I know that this would remove the artistic quality of the "G" which is actually a circular arrow meant to symbolize replay.)

I'd agree as well - the "brand" never changed during the fairly major change from GBPVR to PVRX2.

How about holding both names? GB-PVR as global branding, PVRX2 Legacy for analog capture cards and neXtPVR for the new digital world?
