First thing you need to do, if you haven't already: Login (or register if you don't have a login yet) to the *site* on the left column login. If you already have a *forum* ID, make sure your forum password is at least 8 characters, then login to the *site* with your forum ID and password to copy it to the site.

Among other things, you will now have (as soon as I upgrade you) access to the following items:

Starting with footage from the International Mead Festival and visits to Colorado meaderies, the MeadCast will, over time, be a monthly offering that includes pro meadery interviews, author talks, book reviews, tips, tricks and recipes for making mead, new places to purchase supplies, and anything else I can think of to help you make better mead, find better mead, and be a primo meadster.
