No, I haven’t abandoned blogging for reading, though thanks to all who missed me yesterday and emailed asking why green LA girl wasn’t loading.

I’m now safely moved over to AISO, which so far I’m v. happy with. The switchover, btw, was way faster and smoother than it was with Sustainable Websites. Plus, AISO has solar panels run its data center and office, instead of just buying offsets as Sustainable Websites does.
I think a couple comments got a bit lost in the fray — However, I do get emailed copies of all of them, and in a couple days I’ll put ‘em in manually –

Yay! Once again, you’ve come out as a great resource for random bits of greenness. Later this week my portfolio site (currently closed, but will be re-opening soon) finally comes up for renewal, and I’ll be moving my little self over to aiso!
