--> HTTP://WWW.MEPWCORTETWS.COM/MUMOWMOW/UTIOUNPINDSWANIAKNOP/
Now to straighten out the last bit...

but it's not that exactly. Unfortunately, I don't have time to help at all.
Just a thought.

There's a weird sort of pattern in there, or is that my ARG-deprivation fooling me?
Just a nice thing that I noticed about the cipher alphabet.... if you write it this way, with the plaintext alphabet in order:
Code:
ZYXWVQPOLKJGFDBSNIHCRUATEM
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then you can see the keyword they have used.... start from the right and work backwards.
SNIHCRUATEM
METAURCHINS
Nice touch! Wasn't sure if this had been picked up already.
