Hey Everyone!

Thank you so much for being some of the first members of Dianovo.com. It's been exciting making this all happen, and we're growing more and more each day! It's cool watching a dream come true.

Here at Dianovo, we've been hard at work helping that dream come true, adding new sections to Dianovo.com, and applying your suggestions on how to make it a better experience. One example of which is the completely revamped business and nonprofit profiles. Now business and nonprofit members can have a personal membership as well as a business or nonprofit membership. And, if you are like most green entrepreneurs, you probably have more than one business, and perhaps you head a nonprofit organization as well. You can now create multiple business or nonprofit memberships, and utilize all of the tools of Dianovo.com for each account - blogs, circles, private messaging, friends lists, etc.

And, soon we will be unveiling a business and nonprofit directory, with reviews, interviews, and highlights of businesses and nonprofits that we feel are doing a superior job of operating in a green & conscious manner. Plus, premium membership levels that offer even more tools, such as the ability to create, send, and archive online html newsletters to better communicate with your friends, family, customers, constituents, or potential funders. And, very soon you will be able to measure your footprint on the environment with your personal carbon calculator. You will be surprised what an impact your lifestyle is having.

You're going to see more magazine-like aspects to the community, such as in our green living section, with regular articles, interviews, and more. Plus, we're going to be adding a couple of new sections - green fashion and green design. If you have interest in contributing work, or becoming a regular writer or columnist, please give us a yell at writers@dianovo.com.

You can now add video to any of your posts. Just upload your video to youtube.com and then copy and paste the web address for your video on youtube into a textarea here on Dianovo.com. It will automatically embed the movie into your blog or other posting for you.

We have some awesome contests coming up, with fantastic green prizes. More info to come.

And, don't forget to send Eco-Valentines to everyone you know, and help plant a whole forest of trees!

I wish you could see the sunset outside my window right now. Oh wait, you can.

Ah, I love living on a mountain.

Happy Imbolc. Happy full moon!

peace to you,
