Subject: [TheForge] a round-a-bout trip to the forge photo area

for getting to the photo area ---

i just tried following the directions at the bottom of each message; 
i.e.

    > TheForge mail list group photo site is
    > http://www.photoworks.com
    > Login: blacksmithblacksmith at hotmail.com
    > Password: anvil

and got the Shutterfly "Page unavailable" message page.

BUT...being more stubbon than the average blacksmith (and that's sayin 
a
lot!) i looked at the top right of the "Page unavailable" page and 
noticed a
small "Sign In" box directly underneath "Wedding Paper Divas".  so, i
clicked on the "Sign In" box and then input the login email address of
"blacksmithblacksmith at hotmail.com" and then entered the "anvil" 
password,
and, once again, received the "Page unavailable" message.

at this point, i simply ignored the "Page unavailable" message (i did 
say
"stubbon" didn't i?) and clicked on the "My Shutterfly" in the menu 
just
above the "Page unavailable" message and i was taken to the page that 
has
the photo of the forge shop in the USS Prometheus.

SHORTCUT -- based on the above experience, i decided to start over and
substitute "http://www.shutterfly.com" for "http://www.photoworks.com" 
in
the boilerplate message at the end of each forge message, entered the 
login:
"blacksmithblacksmith at hotmail.com" and password: "anvil" and i was
immediately taken to the USS Prometheus.

i respectfully suggest the forge end of message boilerplate instruction 
be
changed from "http://www.photoworks.com" to "http://www.shutterfly.com".

Yup, it works now. Just uploaded some pics of the most recent piece of 
tooling to come out of my little forge. Hardy block for the anvil. 1 x 
1.25 forged to fit a 7/8 hardy. Tried working 1.5 x 2 stock recently, 
that didn't go so well.
