Looks delish. Can't wait to make it. Do they sell test at Publix or do I have to grow my own tests?

As you can see above, once you start to post a recipe, if you add one item per line in the boxes - i.e. ingredients, preparation steps, instructions - the system will automatically number them for you.

example: enter in the box-
test
test
test

and when you submit you get:
1. test
2. test
3. test

You can add images as attachments, or in a follow up post.

Important - select a prefix category in the drop down box - i.e. appetizer, soup, main dish, etc.. This will help categorize recipes and help in searching.

The number of your recipes added and a link to your recipes will appear under your username.

Your recipes are also listed under a tab on your user profile.

I hope that everyone will post their favorite (soon to be famous) recipes, including local chefs.

Post a recipe for us to make. We can then add our ideas and experiences making it, maybe post pictures of our efforts.

Use only free-range, organic tests.

So Kurt, are you inserting what we type in the textareas into an <ol>? Why don't the tags render as a line break, instead of literally rendering the characters " "? Maybe you should have people type <li> before each entry and then a </li> at the end of each entry? Can't see your php, so I dunno.

Why do we need six tags at the end of each line?

I tried using one tag, and my test recipe for boiling hot dogs didn't render at all. Could you please delete those threads?
