Amazing blog!! My day isn’t complete if I don’t log into your blogsite, learned and tried a few things and find your source and (resource) really helpful, plus the nearly “scientific trial & error” :) process of making a recipe. Suggest you compile everything in a book and I’ll be one of the first to order, saves the trouble of going through the “Search” button, right? Keep up the good work!

True enough, MM. I’ve often had to search for earlier posts thru Google because it’s much more efficient. Have you considered Google’s SiteSearch? It’s free and customizable.

Or you can try Perlfect; it’s also free and open source. I used this on a site I developed years ago and it was easy to set up. Worked brilliantly, too, with search term highlighting, relevance ranking and keyword exclusion. Requires access to your cgi-bin directory thru telnet, but I think your host allows those.

Also, a little off-topic here: Cany you make a separate CSS file for handheld/mobile devices and put a link to it in your pages? The site looks a bit broken and unwieldy when viewed on my mobile.

Good luck!

Marketman, another suggestion — could you add a “return to top” button at the bottom? It would make it easier to go to the next article. Thanks!

how about an index of recipes, marketman? i’ve started one for my blog but it *is* tedious work and tends to fall by the wayside until i remember again. but when i do it, it also helps ME, since one of the reasons i started my blog was to document our family’s favorite recipes. both you and your readers should benefit from such an index, and it would be a fabulous addition to your already well-organized posts and pics!

Thank you for all the information you’ve shared with all of us. More power to you. Hoping that you touch base with some of the Northern Pinoy Cuisine (ex. Pampanga, Pangasinan, Ilocano and Bulacanio) Again thank you and keep us posted.
