Like most other months, April has continued to show growth in the site. We had 300,000 transactions added this month with over 1,600 new active users. Our donation goal was also met within the first two weeks of the month and that's great news!

Development of V3 is still going strong. We have the new layout up and some of the other basic functionality of the site working on our development machines. We've also started working on some of the more unique and new features for the site and they're already looking really cool.

March has been a great month for us. We released ClearCheckbook Mobile, added several updates to the Quick Add feature and the Search page, and we also hit the 2,000,000 transaction mark.

In addition to these great things, we also implemented our Monthly Donation Goal and hit that goal within a week or so for the month of March, which is awesome! A huge thanks to everyone who has donated.

As a way of saying thanks to everyone who has donated, I'm announcing now that we have begun development of ClearCheckbook v3. This next version of ClearCheckbook will have most of the features everyone has been requesting as well as a few big surprises that I'm sure will make everyone happy. I'm not going to say any more at this point because it's so early in development, but be sure to keep sending in those feature requests so we can gather them all up and try to add them all to v3.

Thanks everyone!

In yet another milestone for ClearCheckbook, we're proud to announce that we're now managing over 2,000,000 transactions for over 17,800 active users.

Over the last month, the site has seen an average of around 9,000 new transactions and 125 new user registrations each day.

In other news, we also met our donation goal for the month of March with a few days to spare. This is great news! A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to donate this month.

As always, please send in any feature requests or ways to make the site better!

First off, I would like to say that I'm truly amazed at how many people donate to the site each month. Your donations are greatly appreciated and are helping make this site even better.

As you may know, running a site has several costs associated with it (servers, hosting, etc) and these costs start to add up quickly. In fact, this year alone we're spending around $3,600 to keep the site up and running.

In an effort to try and make the site self sustaining, we have put a small image at the bottom of every page that shows the percentage of our donation goal for the current month.

Please remember though, even if we don't receive any donations, the site will continue to be funded out of my own checkbook. While I have no problem with this, it is nice to be able to have some of that cost taken care of by the site itself.

Thanks again for everyone who has donated to the site!

If you're using Internet Explorer 6, we would like to strongly encourage you to either upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or more preferably, download and start using Mozilla Firefox.

It seems like more and more of the emails coming into us about login issues or data not getting updated (because it's getting cached by IE when it shouldn't) all revolve around the fact that Internet Explorer 6 is an extremely outdated browser and should not be used.

If you're forced to use IE6 and cannot upgrade for some ungodly reason, please try the following instructions if you're having the following issues:
