We have an update regarding our post Sunday about problems that guests at the Sheraton in downtown Denver were having with sustainable wooden hotel key cards being used as part of the effort to make this year's convention the "greenest" ever. The hotel says that the wooden cards have been fixed and are now in use.

"We experienced a few initial issues with the cards, but the problems have all been resolved," the general manager of the Sheraton Denver Hotel, Michael Ehmann, said in a statement. "Contrary to a few reports, we continue to use the sustainable cards and plan to use them throughout the remainder of the Democratic National Convention." Desk clerks on Saturday night had said they had reverted back to handing out traditional plastic key cards in addition to the wooden cards. Original post: Convention 'Greening' Goes Awry
