Welcome to the Manning Family Recipe blog!

To get started be sure to visit the links on the right sidebar under "Getting Started" They will explain the basics of how to add a recipe to the blog. (I tried to write them fairly basic so that someone who has not done this before can understand them...hope they make sense.)

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions (jen.gillespie@gmail.com) Also, send me your e-mail address if you would like to post recipes. I just have to add you as an author and then you can share 'til your hearts content!

Now, let's get some yummy new recipes on here so we can start cookin'

Labeling your recipes

Labeling each recipe that you post is going to make searching for a yummy recipe much easier! In connection with this, please post one recipe per post...meaning that each recipe will have it's own separate post. This will make labeling and finding recipes really fast.

How to Label your recipe/post
1. After you have typed up your recipe, and before you click 'Publish Post' there is a spot at the bottom that says 'Labels for this post:' and then has an empty white box. Next to this is a blue link that says 'Show all' Click on this blue link and it will come up with all the possible labels. Find the one or multiple ones that apply to your recipe and simply click on them and they will be added to the white box.

2. If you don't see a label that fits your recipe just type one in and it will start a new label group. Some that I have thought of are Main, Salads & Dressings, Sides & Veggies, Appetizers, Breads, Soups & Stews, Desserts, Beverages, and Misc.

3. Now you are ready to click 'Publish Post' and see your recipe on the main page.

Using the label links on the sidebar.
This is pretty easy. Just click on the link and it will only list those recipes in that category. So if you are looking for a dessert, just click the dessert link on the right side of the page and browse away!
