I wasn't able to send myself any test ether using the link provided, but I was able to find another way to get some. If you go to MetaMask for the Ropsten test account and hit the "Buy" button, it will give you the option for a test faucet at the bottom of the panel. You can click that button and it will direct you to a webpage that will let you send some test ether to your account - it even fills in the address for you.
