Just found some new ones:

If you try to log in on Faith's website, you can find a link to Wordpress.org.

I will edit when I know more.

*edited part*

Here is a link to Faith's profile on Wordpress.org's forums.

Faith's name could be Jennifer. In one of her posts on these forums at Wordpress.org, she ends it with:

"Thank you for taking the time to read/respond to this!
Jennifer"

I'm doubting the link to wordpress.org is worth putting on the site list. Wordpress is just a blog engine, correct? Her profile on wordpress is another matter though. I would say probably not important as it just seems to show statistics for the user account.

It indicates what she was trying to do with her blog and/or another site though. Or so it seems.

*edited*

Not sure if this has any bearing on the mystery, but I tried logging in as admin on Faith's blog. Is this a default for a REAL blog or could this tie into the story?

If you use "admin" it says password is incorrect, whereas before it was saying incorrect username.

I didn't think it would be necessary, but I just added the other sites from the reference that are considered out of game. They aren't to be contacted or considered as a part of the game...

The admin login at this point we can assume is part of the blogging engine, and once again not a part of the game or a mystery to solve. On the contrary, if the admin login (or "Faith"s) is discovered, it could open the door to the ruining of the ARG's website(s).

So until we know more about what we're to gain access to (as opposed to discovering), please don't try to hack into the blog administration. We know that the login on Bethlehem Conservatory is in-game and a puzzle to solve (at some point) because it's a custom built website, so everything is intended to be 'in-game'. The blogs aren't because they are based on an engine which is definitely OOG.

hope that helps a bit.

Watch the Movie

http://abcfamily.go.com/broadband/index.html

If I understand how they do things The Fallen movie should be up for the next 2 weeks ( I could be wrong and it might just be this week, but they do seem to have last weeks movie listed still)

Somebody brought this up at the OE forums:
www.finding-faith.com

You have to have another password and username to get in, and this one won't open until you do. It's registered by the same group and same address at whois.godaddy.com, so it's something for the game.

That's because it's not active yet. It's easier to register the site, put it on your webserver and password protect the whole site than it is to add stuff all at once, or to allow people to find it before everything is ready.

Then again, there have been plenty of games where sites have been registered but never used. Since this was found via the use of reverse dns and not from in-game sources, it's best just to put this out of our mind now. If we are meant to find it, we'll be pointed there.
