"It has to look good on a television". Jonathon Langley. If this site has a mantra, the above quote would be it. This is a site designed to be seen on a television, with it's smaller frame and lower resolution than your typical browser has. http://www.tvpc.com

to quote a post on Electric Minds with useful information on webtv: Topic 12: WebTV & other TV/Web marriages #57 of 58: Art Botterell (acb) Sat 30 Nov '96 (06:20 PM) The WebTV folks have released a first cut at a developers guide... http://webtv.net/devdocs/styleguide/sguide-1.html Thin, certainly, but a step in the right direction. Another resource is "WebTV Talk" hosted by WebHead Design... http://whdesign.com/webtv/webtv.html The main thing seems to be understanding that anything wider than about 544 pixels will get rescaled horizontally (in lieu of horizontal scrolling, which the WebTV browser doesn't support)... and that can play heck with foreground / background alignment tricks. Somebody with a relatively high-traffic site... it might be interesting to start doing weekly counts of hits from WebTV browsers... see what sort of a growth curve they get.

We have a new priority and a new project focus. This just in from Jonathon: As I suspected, WebTV wants to make cs.com a default site on their start page. Awesome! This means within a WEEK it must be fully cleaned up. They do have some questions, how many audio streams can the RA server handle at the same time? When are we upgrading to the new version (they are aware of the problems with RA BTW)? We may have to upgrade the RA server to handle more hits. I have contacted Chris Spurgeon about helping with the RA upgrade. We'll need to moblize on http://www.tvpc.com
