Problems accepting course blog invites

Several people have had problems accepting their invitations to be posters here on the course blog. Based on a couple of examples, I'm guessing that the problem in many cases is that your e-mail client is breaking the (fairly long) URL that Google/Blogger is mailing to you.

As an example, one person passed along their invitation e-mail and it had a link that looked something like (I've changed some of the numbers):

http://beta.blogger.com/i.g?inviteID=4622562676191033393&blogID=89562679374
14
940892

Notice how the "14" and "940892" ended up on the following lines? There are part of the "blogID" field in that URL and need to be added (without any spaces) to the end of the URL for it to work. (Thus the end of the URL should be "...37414940892".) Many mail clients break up long lines, even when they're URLs, leading to links that in fact don't work (like the one above). If your mail client is doing that I would (a) fuss about it and/or change to a different client for reading your mail and (b) type in the URL by hand, putting together the broken pieces. That should work, allowing you to accept the invitation.

If you can't seem to get the darn thing to work, please swing by the office some time and we can go through it together. Thanks!
