This probably belongs in Puzzles & Quizzes

to get past 4 you need to zoom into the image and look for something that's not quite, but nearly white.

If you open it in paint and use the "Fill with colour" command you might find what you need

Stuck on 6 myself too. There's a clue in the page source.

"speaking of hair, do you like it darker than it is?" - so I tried darkening the image and the like but got no clue from it.

Heh, 10 is deceptively easy

For those stuck on 6:
Open the picture in your choice of image editing app and bucket-fill it with black.

Anyone who knows what they need from Q5 but doesn't have the requisite software handy can use this
http://regex.info/exif.cgi
to achieve the same result.

I'm assuming there must be a second answer other than
uranus.htm
, otherwise I'll probably have to wait until my IP changes.
