All right - I think I've sorted this out. I created the community traveling_lemon using the journal hunt_the_lemon and the email account hunt.the.lemon@gmail.com. Now we can proceed on all levels.

so the url for the journal, for non LJ users who want to play will be http://hunt-the-lemon.livejournal.com/

I'm thinking I want players to initially go the journal and I'll use that to assign #s, then they can either email me pics or post to the comm.

Does all that sound reasonable?
