    Nice layout, and great subject matter and content...

    I'm all for moving to a green webhost, but I've heard conflicting reports on which ones are and which ones aren't...

    Lovely design.
    At the forum, I'ld make the "community" banner the same as the one at the homepage- except the text of course. Just use the same background image.
    Maybe also make rounded borders for that image? Or is that impossible / difficult?

    Definitely a very good topic about which you made a blog!
    I remember Servage had ecohosting for a while, but they don't offer it anymore; I guess because of costs of it currently, and low interest .. no idea?
    However, very good site, and keep it up!!

    I found some very useful information on your site, you definitely have top notch content on your site :)
    I hope the site will reach its goal ;)

    As a Green Bay Packer fan, I love the color green.

    The site looks very nice but it would be helpful to explain exactly what a green host is.

    Cant seem to click and drag to highlight the text - I like doing that for easier reading. Other than that no major complaints.

    Thanks! :)

    I am not so sure about those round corners. I don't think it will fit with the rest of the design? But I will see if I can make that community banner a bit bigger.

    Having a green web hosts normally costs a bit more (unless we change that!).

    Thank you! Sure I will see if I can explain what a green web host is a bit better.

    I will look into that asap!

    Thank you for all your ideas and opinions! :)

    Great site -great concept - keep up the good work. Go -green !!

    I see Tarponkeith's comment about the headers on the Community and Join the Community - perhaps same header graphic all through? I know there is less text on those two page where you have reduced the size of the header but having the same header would 'brand' the whole site.

    I was a bit confused by your top nav headings and the actual page headings.
    Join the Community goes to a page headed 'Community' and 'Community' goes to a forum.
    I'm really interested in forums but if I hadn't scrolled down the page I'd never have known you had one. Why not call in 'Community Forum' in the nav bar?

    THANKS! :)

    If I had that big header on the forum/community wouldn't that make it harder to browse and use the forum/community?

    I will see what I can do about the top navigation. You are correct about that.

    Thank you! :)
