<i>“The website invoicebus.com has gone green by hosting with FatCow, an EPA Green Power Partner, where the data centers, web servers and offices are powered by 100% wind energy. In an effort to enhance our environmental responsibility, our company has provided eco-friendly web hosting solutions by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to offset our energy use. That means for every KWH of electricity we consume – providing customers with unlimited bandwidth, offering easy-to-use site builder tools, making coffee in the office, etc. – we buy a credit that&#8217;s applied to the generation of wind energy.”</i>

We are happy and proud our marketing site and blog are hosted in the eco-friendly data centre, which is part of the Renewable Energy Certificates Program, preventing the release of 2,660 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. The estimated yearly benefit to the environment is equivalent to planting ~2,390 acres of trees or not driving 6.1 million miles (9.8 million kilometers).</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Even we are busy as beavers with the Invoicebus development, we decided to make a few improvements of our blog in aspect of design, organization and comments.</h2>
<h3>Design</h3>
<ul class="myList">
<li>Sleek new roof (header) of the garage;</li>
<li>We introduce you Christopher, our happy mechanic mascot;</li>
<li>A few adjustments of colors and fonts.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Organization</h3>
<p>As posts have came, we sensed our categories (or so called shelves) are not well defined, and soon will become a hell of a mess. That’s why we decided to replace the old ones on time with these neat, self-explanatory and more general categories:</p>
<ul class="myList">
<li>Announcements</li>
<li>Business</li>
<li>Design</li>
<li>Programming (upcoming)</li>
<li>Technical stuff</li>
<li>Tips &#038; Tricks (upcoming)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Comment system </h3>
<p>Here, we want to apologize to all of our readers and fans whose comment was deleted or not answered on our blog during the test period of the facebook comment system. We experienced a few problems and came to this conclusion:</p>
<ul class="myList">
<li>Facebook comment system is not reliable and can happen to loose a comment (or all of them);</li>
<li>Export/Backup option is not available, unless you rewrite them onto paper;</li>
<li>Has very limited moderation features;</li>
<li>Comments are not visible for search engines.</li>
</ul>
<p>For the upcoming period we decided to use the default comment system of our blog.</p>
