It's been another strong week as far as new members go. We've had 178 new members join the site since last Friday. Our total number of active users is now over 1,700. Our members have also made over 3,000 entries since last Friday. This is great news and we're glad to see such large numbers.

There have been a few minor updates to the site this week. The first update was to help make the pages download faster. All the pages are now Gzipped when they are sent to your browser. This method is reducing the size of each page by 65% on average and is causing the pages to download about 3x faster than they used to. The next step will be improving the efficiency of the code that generates the pages so they'll load even faster. The second update this week fixes a problem with editing the amounts of entries over $1,000. The comma in the amount was causing some issues, but this has been resolved.

There are several updates slated for this week. I won't talk about them in this post because you'll see new posts made about them as the updates are finished. We've also figured out what we're doing for the one year anniversary and we're sure everyone will love it. It will take the ability to update and view your account to a whole new level.

Keep blogging and spreading the word about the site. If you see ClearCheckbook mentioned in a blog post or article somewhere, please post about it here in the comments or send us a message and let us know.
