I host this website with Dreamhost, which offers green web hosting to all of its clients. As well as taking steps to reduce its carbon emissions, the company purchases renewable energy certificates that offset the emissions generated by all of its business activities.

I”ll be on holiday for the next few weeks, travelling around Australia and New Zealand. Here’s a little preview of some of the places I”ll be visiting:

Best wishes to everyone for Christmas and New Year. I”ll be back blogging at the end of January.

For the last few years, the UK based National AIDS Trust has run a campaign to get websites and blogs to wear a virtual red ribbon to show support for World AIDS Day which takes place annually on 1 December.

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of World AIDS Day and to encourage people to visit the website where they can find out more about ways to get involved in helping to stop the spread of HIV and AIDS.

I’ve added the red ribbon to my sidebar as of today, and if you have a blog or website of your own, I’d encourage you to wear the virtual red ribbon too.
