Hi All,
This is related to the notice that you see above, about the way that the number of blog entries per page are displayed. Since Dee's Food Blog is the one that is most affected by this, I'd like to get your opinion on how many entries should be displayed per page, when you look at someone's blog.
I like the current setting, because trying to find a recipe in a long list of completely-detailed recipes, means that the page would have to be very, very long, to contain all the recipes. IOW, the way it is set now, only the 6 most recent recipes are displayed, and to see any of the others, you would need to click on the View All Entries link will bring up a pop-up menu, showing a complete list of all the recipes, but only the name of the recipe will show, making a much more compact, and easier to review, list. You can then click on the one you are interested in, to bring up the actual recipe.
The other choice would be to make the page several hundred recipes long, so they would all be displayed, and you would find the one you want by scrolling. Of course, you could still click on that same link, to bring up the list I mentioned above, in order to get a list of just the names of the recipes. I'll set it according to popular choice, so if you have a preference, please respond to the poll.
If you try it before you vote, you'll be able to better see what I'm talking about. If you have any problems getting it to work right, or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
Tex

How Would You Prefer That The Blogs Be Configured?
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I still would rather see the recipes listed and categorized in Dee's Kitchen, though it certainly is Dee's perogative to place them where she wants. A grouping would avoid the need to scroll through a long list, looking for a certain type of recipe.
You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
I like it the way it is. I can always look backward on the calendar if I want to see something more.
I do have to agree with Gloria's suggestion of recipe categories. It's hard looking in Dee's Kitchen for a specific recipe; you have to look through pages of titles and hope you get the right one.

This is what I have done and is a suggestion that works very well for me.
On my computer, I have created a "recipe" folder under my documents.
After creating that, I have created what I will call sublets, off of the recipe folder, meaning categories,
like entrees, desserts, flour mixes, salad dressings, etc... Whatever sublet you'd like to title it as.
If I find a recipe that sounds like a good one to tweak for my needs, I highlight it, right click on the highlighted area and then click on print. On my computer when I click on print, Microsoft XPS document will come up and I click on that, and then selection, then print and it will take me right to my recipe folder where I can click on the specific sublet.
Now, I don't even have to log onto my computer to have access to the recipes, and they all are automatically, in alphbetical order, under the sublets.

Dee's current method of Recipe Blogging is just fine, and very easy to work with.Allowing 6 on a page gives a chance to check back occasionally to find the most current posts, after which, they go in the "archives". As some of the individual recipes get rather long, more than 6 on the page might become more cumbersome?
I JUST LOVE THIS SERVICE!!
Great -- yet simple recipes.Keep on Keep'in on Dee.
Cheers,
