Cool!  This should be added to one of the markdown files in the whimsy
repository..  Here's another option:

Craig - it looks like gmail has changed.  It's their service, if you
use it, I guess you need to abide by their changing rules.

You should have gotten an email with a subject line of "Critical
security alert" that explained that the "Sign-in attempt was blocked"
and leads you to the following page:

This, too, should be updated in the markdown files.

Finally, you can see what user and group the apache server runs under
by looking at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.  Search for User.  Either this
user need to be able to read your ~/.whimsy file, or you need to
change httpd.conf to use a different user.  If you change the user,
some of the subdirectories in /srv will need their permissions
changed.  setupmymac has a --user option which will change the server
and these directories to run with your user id.  If you do that, you
might want to lock down your server:
