I am happy to announce the launch of another great NYC website: StreetsBlog. A project of the NYC Streets Renaissance Campaign and edited by NYC transportation/planning blogger Aaron Naparstek, this site will take a critical look at transportation issues in our area. I've been a fan of Aaron's writing for some time, so it was a big honor for me to build his new home. (The site is running WordPress, and the design is based on nycsr.org, which was originally designed by Andrew Fischler, Jr. who I've never met but whose design I like a lot.)

GRDN has been getting a lot of attention lately - thanks to everyone for sending in your comments. Most notably, it has been chosen as a featured case study at CubeCart.com (one of two, randomly highlighted on the homepage). Cube Cart is the e-commerce package we used, chosen mainly because it's the only php-based e-commerce site that uses XHTML and CSS. Thanks, Alistair, for the shout out.

This Saturday at 4pm in Carroll Park, Frannie will be unveiling her brand new splatter-painted garbage can!
