Have you noticed? I’m sort of proud of this little logo showing that my site is 100% wind powered. This blog, along with its companion photo blog and my home page, are all hosted by IPower, whose facilities across the country are run entirely on wind energy. Being green is such a big thing these days, and with good reason; so it’s nice to be able to make a little difference for the environment right here from my studio.

Usually my tips are geared towards art and photography, but in this case I’m taking a minute to promote the hosting service that makes all this possible. I don’t mind showing IPower’s ads on my page because I’ve been so pleased with their services over the years I’ve been with them. Besides being green, their servers are extremely reliable and their hosting plans come with an array of useful web tools including WordPress, ZenPhoto, and b2evolution’s PHP platform blog – all of which I use myself. They come with a host (no pun intended) of other features for all levels of users from beginners to programmers. Their interface is very user-friendly (and very clean and professional – no tacky ads) and their customer service is bar none.

Bottom line, if you’re starting a website, looking to switch hosts or just renewing your domains, I would strongly recommend looking into their services. Best of luck in the WWW!
