So, I think I am between choosing AISO and The Greenest Host for my hosting needs post yahoo. The Greenest Host rents space from AISO and they are both 100% solar powered.

Do I need a CMS?! Joomla.... isn't that one of the little people on Willie Wonka?!

I took a nap and decided to try my hand at this Joomla thing.... I downloaded WAMP and Joomla (as well as a bucket full of other open source programs like wordpress, zen cart, etc ) and I seem to be up and running. Well, I seem to be leaning against the wall scratching my head with my sleeping dog on my feet.

Michele Martin and her holistically raised boxer Bella set out in 2007 to start a web based pet store that was the greenest around. From web hosting to the types of cleaners used in the home office... check in to see them struggle through sometimes painful choices such as choosing eco-packing peanuts or shredded waste paper as a packing material.

Liquid Brand Summit Session Preview: Green Business

David Roman, VP WW Marketing Communications, PSG for HP (got all that, acronym lovers?), and I had a great chat about his session topic, "How green is your brand? And why should I care?" We literally could have chatted for hours, and I imagine his session will be one of the more ardently attended and debated. To get you ready, here are a few highlights of what to expect:
