This form gives you the option to Sign In using:

• an e‑mail address and password, or
• your identity from any of several social media accounts.

Either way, if it’s your first time, you won’t be granted access immediately.

There will be a short delay (a day or two) while I verify your identity, then I’ll e‑mail you when clear to sign in again. Until that time, when you try to sign in you’ll get an “Access Pending” message.

• To use an e‑mail address, start with the “Sign Up” link below the social media buttons, on the line beginning with “Don’t have an account?”
• For a social media identity,
  sorry, these aren’t working at the moment, I’m working on getting them back!
  click the button and follow the directions. You may need to allow a pop‑up in your web browser.

If you receive e‑mail from “Okta” asking to verify your e‑mail address, I recommend that you please confirm as the e‑mail requests. This step is separate from what I need to do to remove the “Access Pending” message, but it assures me I can use that address to reach you.

Okta   is the online identity provider I’m using to secure this site, and you may receive additional e‑mail from Okta concerning routine account maintenance, such as to recover a lost password. For more about how Okta works, refer to the colophon.

If you’re having trouble, you may have better luck with an alternative form (linked below) but it lacks the social media options, and works only with an e‑mail address and password:

This page will expire after ten minutes.
