Welcome to my Chicago Photography groups at Multiply.com and Google - almost.

Regrettably, Multiply.com does not support the introduction of ssnb or other javascript by users, and as Webring insists on periodically merging rings and ejecting those members whose code is rendered obsolete by those mergers, ssnb is a must these days. Finding myself, as a user of both Multiply and Webring, between a rock and a hard place, I find that the only route of escape from this dilemma that comes to mind involves creating an entry page like this one, hosted on a site where I can use ssnb, and really, what could be a more suitably reliable location for such a page than a webring profile, which will always be up whenever the ring is running? If you can think of another, more fitting solution to the problem, I'd love to hear about it, as long as it doesn't involve my having to relocate my group again, because that's one thing I'm going to refuse to budge on, and understandably so, I think. But not to worry.

You are just one step from where you're trying to go. When you decide that you'd like to return to your ring, the links section on the Multiply group (or the ring return page linked to from the top of the main page on the Googlegroup, easily reachable by clicking on the title of the group near the top of the page, just like on any other googlegroup) will take you right there.

One thing that you do need to know: In order to join my group at Multiply.com, you need an invitation. Those, for the most part, are easily had. If you'd like to know how to get an invitation or why one is needed, this post on the group blog explains everything. You do not need an invitation to join the googlegroup, and you don't need to be a member of either group to look at anything posted on them.

Now that all questions either have been answered or are on their way to soon being answered, would you rather go to the Amateur Photography in Chicago group at Multiply.com or to the Chicago Photography group at Google? Each links to the other, so take your pick.
