New site

[Sam Saffron]

Anybody have any feedback about http://beta.mediabrowser.tv/ ? 

I would like to make it live asap, the old site is super outdated.

In case anyone is wondering where the donations will go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU 

More seriously, if we end up getting some real donations I will use the money to grow the project. Also keep in mind I really want to launch an app store at some point.

I think you should push the button and go live. The only minor update I would consider is adding more items to the gallery but thats not important or a bug.

 

I think the donation button is long overdue.

I think we need to update the pics before you go live.  The very first thing you see is a screen that doesn't exist anymore.   Plus, we have some better looking stuff than what is in there now.  Throw some pics of D3 and V2 in there.

This is me being extremely anal but several of the pages have XHTML errors, mostly typos or missing end tags but since you have the W3 validator link there might want to fix.  I'm just very anal though.

1 more thing.  I saw that you are using Google Analytics, might consider using their asynchronize script model.  The page rendered somewhat slow for me, I traced it to GA locking the page

 

 

<script type="text/javascript">

//<![CDATA[

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];

  _gaq.push(["_setAccount", "UA-50203-4"]);

  _gaq.push(["_trackPageview"]);

  (function() {

    var ga = document.createElement("script"); ga.type = "text/javascript"; ga.async = true;

    ga.src = ("https:" == document.location.protocol ? "https://ssl" : "http://www") + ".google-analytics.com/ga.js";

    (document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0] || document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]).appendChild(ga);

  })();

//]]>

</script>

 

 

That says the site design looks really good.

I fixed the errors and switched to html 4 strict which is better practice anyway

I will not move to the async script quite yet, as the current site uses the sync version and tons of others do as well including high traffic sites like stackoverflow and twitter.com 

I updated the images and gallery 

go live ? 

[Sam Saffron]

its live im done with it for today.

have no idea why chrome is adamant on truncating the bottom of the front page and making it white sometimes

Looks good.  You might want to update the copyright date...
