The posts before this one are just “example posts” in order for me to list the categories which are available. If you think of more categories, either email them to me or go ahead and add them to the category section which you can find at the bottom of your post page under “Categories”. There is also a list of the categories to the right-hand side of this post. In order to share your recipes, you must be a contributor/author. Just email me here and I will add you. Then you must write a post in order to share your recipes. I will explain how to write a post if you are not familiar with WordPress. Don’t forget to click onto a category into which your recipe fits. The categories are at the bottom of your post page. Click onto “All Categories” in order to get all the available categories. Also, another fun aspect is to take pictures of your creativity and put them with your recipes! You can even add a video explaining your recipe as you cook your dish! Let’s have fun!

Welcome!

I started this blog because many of us just plain run out of recipes to cook for our families and friends! I hope that you will join me in my quest to gather as many different recipes from within and outside our own culture and nation as possible! Whether it is gourmet food or quick and easy recipes, we all like new and fresh recipes for our families! If you would like to receive and donate recipes to this blog, email me at sjonee123@hotmail.com, and I will add you as a contributor. If you have any tips which will improve this site, please add them to this site or let me know and I will do it for you. For example, if you have good links to other sites, add them to the blogroll.

Instructions On How To Post Your Recipes

For those who are not familiar on how to use Wordpress, I am writing the instructions down on how to write your post for your recipe. Here goes: At the top of this blog, you will see "New Post". If you don't see this, then you have not signed up to be an author. Email me to become an author. My email is here. Afterwards, click onto "New Post". You are given a blank page on which to write your post. There is a narrow area where you can put the name of your recipe (this is your title for your post) and then under that narrow area is a large area where you can write down your recipe. When you are done writing your recipe, to the far right-hand side of the page you will see "Categories" choose the category you want your recipe to fall into. Last but not least, at the right-hand side closer to the top of the page on which you wrote, is a "Publish Status". Within this area is a "save" or "publish" button. Click onto "Publish" in order for others to see your post. If you want to make changes to your post after it has been posted, just go into "edit this entry" which is located under your published post, make your changes, and then click onto "save". It might take a few seconds to publish or save so don't push the button twice and don't leave that page until the page has "jumped". Do not use the comment section of someone's post to post your post or people might not see it. Only use the comment section on someone's post to state what you think about their recipe, etc. Also, if you want to use your real name instead of your user name, just go into "Dashboard" at the top of the blog. At the far right-hand side at the top, you will see "profile". Click into "profile" and scroll down until you see "nickname". Put into "nickname" any name you want. Then scroll to the bottom of the page at the left-hand side and click onto "Update Profile". Then scroll back up to "display name publicly" which is right below "nickname". To the side of "display name publicly", you will see up and down arrows click onto the arrows and it will give you a choice from which to choose. Click on your choice of names and then scroll back down to "Update Profile" and click onto it. Then you're done! I know...so much clicking!...sorry! Don't hesitate to ask me any questions about this process. Thanks guys for all your effort!
