Thank you imbri We'll try to be more thorough from now on, especially since I feel stupid now for not noticing..
Mirlandano's source now has this:
<!-- if_you_need_a_hint,_try_looking_in_the_obvious_place -->
So, first thing I tried was hint.html which said
<!-- not this obvious! the other one! -->
That got me laughing for a few minutes Anyway, the pearl page is now update it.. if you go through it you should find a new page which is

Didn't take a look at it yet...

All the weird pictures are gone now and replaced by letters. You can check catherwood's summary and hit refresh to get the replacements for each, but you need to go to the original pages to find the links each letter points to.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
aut -> MEAT -> IR(E)LAND NO(T)
lso -> SP -> HO(P)ES
itp -> YZ
lbp -> SRO_Y -> EA(R)L ING(O) WAX(Y)
eee -> RR -> C(R)AB BA(R)GES
msd -> DA -> KIN(D) G(A)S
And from the hint page, we get what the images were supposed to be called:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
mexicano
ewes
whips
devil's flax
ostriches
wings
Anybody out there?? This is too much!

I've been hanging out a bit ...but am pretty lost and useless. When you click the hint words it takes you to an "entry box" that directs to a bunch of AinW pages....so are we looking for the proper "input" for that box and if so are the hints (ewes/ostriches...etc) supposed to lead to that "input"?
Edit: Actually now I see when hitting refresh there are a bunch of "submit" buttons on madness with diff. pics....is there a different solve for each one? If it's too complicated to explain don't worry about it. I have read everything here but got lost earlier when there were so many pages coming out.

Looking at what Ehsan said:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
aut -> MIRLANDANO -> SHOES
Gives http://www.mirlandano.com/shoes
itp -> YZ
lbp -> SEALING WAX
eee -> CABBAGES
msd -> KINGS
Not sure about the four above though, as I cannot make head nor tail of what YZ might mean...
The image on the URL doesn't say much to me, though.

great work dylan! (if you didn't figure it out, look at what i wrote and remove the letters between the brackets)
now, notice
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
words rhyme!
mexicano -> mirlandano
ewes -> shoes
whips -> YZ?!?!?!?!? anyway I got ships
devil's flax -> sealing wax
ostriches -> cabbages
wings -> kings
I'm thinking YZ was a coding typo and it would have pointed to sh(y) (z)ips or something like that..
anyway I'm at mirlandano/shoes/ships now and can't find the next link.. "sealing_wax" looks correct to me but it's not working.. hmm

so... taking the ball and running with it..
which gives you a page with the text
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings
with the pigs having special html notation called OINK.
putting /pigs at the end of the url gives you...

If it's "crossroad" and clicking the link takes you to the obvious spot, wouldn't it imply that there are other paths from there?
(Sorry, but not really following this from the start. Pardon if we've been returned to this crossroad before.)

Meaning perhaps that one road (the one currently open) will take us a-wandering through the Tweedle brothers' little world, and perhaps others will open up later?
PS I like the new 404 - with the Duchess holding the squalling baby (that later becomes a pig).

typing a logical word from the tweedlehouse page into the submit box gets you something - is this a pre-existing kickout?

crossroad does imply another path, but if you follow the chapter we're currently on you'll read that alice followed the ONLY signs on the path which lead to the tweedles..
this looks like a dead end.. how about the image on the "for tea" page? obviously it's the name of the next html file, but what is it? ITE? IT3? 1T3? tried flipping/rotating/inverting and I can't see anything.. morse code in there maybe?

Highlight the entire page, and you get
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tttt/ip.html
but that doesn't work. It's clearly a point towards a new address, and doesn't need to be rotated.
What am I missing?
