    This is a bug report, but never mind. I think I’ve tracked it down and fixed it now. Should be good to go!

    Hey Sa… *cough*, I mean Anirbas,
    I’m going to reply to this in a blog post. This has been planned from the start, but I think how to handle this (what ingredients should be combined, what tags, and who should be allowed to do it) needs to be addressed in it’s own thread.

    Just took the time to post a recipe from our blog (http://freshslowcooking.com). We use the hRecipe microformat on our site and I think you could use it to at least pre-populate some of the fields for your visitors. There is almost a 1:1 mapping. http://microformats.org/wiki/hrecipe

    Wonderful! I hadn’t run across that before. I’ll look into implementing support for it. If I can, I would love to have importing from blogs be fully automated. I doubt enough people use hRecipe to allow that, but I can certainly see if I can make life easier for those who do.

    I may just be missing it, but one feature i would love to see is the ability to ‘save’ recipes when logged in, so you can find them later :]

    Good idea. I’ll put it on the todo list. I’d already been planning to implement this as a “favorite’s” feature sort of deal, but I hadn’t gotten around to it yet. I’ll move it up on the todo list.

    Inputing recipes is a tad tedious. If you auto added a ingredients field once someone entered something into a text box box it would mean that I could use tab instead of reaching for my mouse every time I need a new field, if that makes sense.

    Looking good though!

    Hey Chris, I’ve been pondering this idea for a while. And while on the one hand it makes a lot of sense, on the other hand it would make it a pain to click over to instructions and delete an extra added ingredient when you’re done entering ingredients. Same for instructions. What I tend to do is count the ingredients and instructions I mean to enter and add that many fields at the start. However, I might be able to take advantage of another key stroke to allow you to add another ingredient from the keyboard. Maybe if you hit enter in the preparation box it can add another ingredient field. Or maybe I can commandeer control and + or some such combination. Assuming we’re not over writing tab or auto adding an ingredient, which keystroke do you think would be best to use to add another field?

    I like to tab around when I can, I guess the issue would be that you would need to know about the shortcut keys. Also if there is no field there when I tab out of the last recipe field I’m not sure where I am tabbing to.

    The “Add Ingredients” button should be placed at the end of the last ingredient so that you can tab right out of one ingredient and create another. The button being above the list of ingredients is silly and impractical.

    Also… why doesn’t this blog grab our username from FridgetoFood? It seems silly to have to put in my information again.
