Stuck on step 8. I found the secret message but I can't figure out what to do with it.

Edit: Doh! I analyzed it too deeply when it was staring me in the face.

What I don't understand is that there is no Step 9. I jumped straight to step 10. Did I miss something ?

edit : there is no step 12 also. But at the end of step 11 one's can read "You must be pretty tired though, so maybe it's time to go home and get some well-deserved rest."

so resting must be the step 12 hehe

Same here. Been trying everything since I found the message 30 minutes ago.

There's a secret word...look at the first letters of each line. Go there and look carefully at anything visual.

Thanks, I kept thinking it would be in the source somewhere!

Damn. I thought the fact that it was down was part of the puzzle despite how silly that seems now.
