beethoven.html - name extrapolated from the names of the two pics in the blog
that was the first one solved, and what frustrated me was that the CLUE was on ethan's blog but the ANSWER was on dina's server.
same with tortoise, altho it was not extrapolated but rather handed to us. Ethan's blog had tortoise.jpg and dina had tortoise.html

Dina used to like cinnamon.
She's mentioned cinnamon at least twice in her blog.
*goes back to randomly guessing*

I think this was mentioned in the chat transcript trying to tie her to Cinna from Julius Caesar, dying as a scapegoat unjustly.

Huh. I come back after almost two days of away-from-the-computer time, and this still isn't solved yet! I can't believe it. This is getting incredibly depressing, not to mention frustrating. I'm going crazy from all the Taoism and I Ching links that I'm suddenly finding. I think I'm going to break down and cry....where are the missing Dina pages? Where?
*sniff*
(Some sort of hint would be nice.)

After all the time I spent on Oct. 1st pic...I've decided I want to trade in some of my STOL credits for a Dina page...or two...I think we've earned it

You know, I like that reasoning. I'd be willing to throw in all my stol credits, as well as....
*ahem*
...drum roll....

My prize cookies from the photoshopping thread. Delivered personally by the ONE himself. Yummy....irresistable....slightly stale by now, but still with lots of sentimental value...

I conferred with the other PMs, and got the blessing from at least one of them to give you quite possibly the lamest hint ever in the history of hints:
You're only looking for one secret page.

Excellent! Thanks for that. So instead of have a number of clues leading to a number of pages, we have a number of clues leading to one.
Not sure that makes it any easier... grumble grumble

I'm working on it - just haven't made much progress.

Yay! Heh, lamest hint ever in the history of hints... it does actually help, though, because it means that all these things that *might* be clues probably aren't, except for one. Well, maybe more than one, but only if they seem to lead to the same thing. So put effort into the one that just *has* to be a clue. I'm guessing the Jesse sketch...why else would that music be there? Why have the sketch at all? Gotta look again at that highlighting...although I could be completely wrong. It still strikes me as weird that (among other things) Dina would write "eye o' storm" rather than "eye of the storm".... IO storm? But, yeah, probably not as weird as the sketch.
btw, Moriar, I unfortunately don't have ICQ, but I'm working on this as well.

Same here.
Though I'm having a hard time defining "working on it" atm
I've read the entire Dina blog about ten times now, and although I still have no idea what to look for, I'm more and more convinced that Krystyn should really go and write a book... not before seeing to it that we find the last missing Dina page though
