Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I access my album website?

2. I can't access my album website!
Please make sure you've entered the correct Internet address.
Your system may be infected with a worm which might have changed your browser settings so that no Internet connection can be established. Worms can send themselves automatically to addresses in your address book. Should friends listed in your address book experience the same problem, your system could be infected. Make sure to always have an updated virus scanner installed.
