[QUOTE="Lyfesaver74, post: 758622, member: 107242"] I completely disagree, but I understand that is how you see it. I am not creating work for myself.... Nobody is paying me. I am doing all this out of my own pocket. As for trade shows, this is exactly the kind of PR MediaPortal needs (plus other kinds as well). But due to the nature of Open Source Software, to have a network of users spread the word is the best way. Let's face it, Open Source does not equal lots of $$$ so PR needs to be done by those who A) Believe in the product, B) Can dedicate a few hours a week and the occasional trade show every now and then, C) Desire to do so. I am sure there are a few people out there that can help out! But again... thank you for your observation about how trade shows wont help us. I like a POSITIVE thinker!!!! Yup, all of the sites base graphics will work well. I can make them work as I have some Photoshop skills, but someone better could do a better job than I, and I would like to have the best we can get to help out in the ways they can help the most. I actually use a simple banner for my sigs in almost every forum (save my game forums) You can see an example in this thread I started on the QSS forums.
