We now have a recipe Plugin on the web site.  Since my sum total of recipe knowledge consists of spaghetti, I am going to leave it to the cooks to determine if this tool is any good.  But you can see the posts we have created on Page 2 of the newsletter.

In this early post, I created a new post and wrote an introduction saying the recipe came from Katherine.  Then I clicked on the knife and fork next to “Add media” and added the recipe.  Finally I selected a Category from the list of recipe categories.  Below are some more detailed direction.

This plugin comes from ziplist.com, which is a website that allows you to save recipes and create shopping lists.  Readers can collect their recipes at ziplist from many websites.

12. Click on publish for your post.  (If you don’t have a Publish button, then click on the button that schedules your post for review and publishing.  Then send me an email and I will check it and publish it.  This is a way for us to find problems before it is published).
