How the "private" thing works

I really am so sorry that it's such a pain for everyone to access this now.  Here's how the private thing works:
You should have gotten an invitation (use the most recent one). When you click the link you have 3 options:
sign in to an existing gmail account
create a new gmail account
or view as a guest

If you choose to view it as a guest, you can click on the link in the invitation every time.  However, that link WILL expire every 2 weeks.  And I'll have to send you a new one.  Which I am fine with.  But, if you don't want to mess with that just create a free gmail account and only use it to access the blog (although I'd encourage everyone to try gmail, it's pretty awesome and has great functionality!)

Thanks for hanging in for the transition! Email me if you have issues!
