Quick add of online recipe, without details   Go to last post Go to last unread

So I came flying home, ran through a quick couple of blogs, and found something I liked on an EYB-unindexed site.  If I use my bookmarklet to add it, up pops a form.  OK, I am having major problems and can't locate the answers.  #1, if I just want to tell myself to further research this when time allows, EYB suggests I make it a "personal recipe".  That saves me time so I don't have to note all the ingredients (of the 2 vinaigrettes that caught my eye).  WHERE do I find the option for making it personal?  #2, there are multiple drop-down for categories, ethnicities, etc.  What if I don't find an appropriate drop-down (I think this happened yesterday when I was noting a BBQ sauce recipe).  Must I use one of your specific drop-downs, which get pretty technical but not always alluding to what I want to input?

Instructions  for adding personal recipes  can be found here. I've not tried the bookmarklet gizmo yet.. this was from a quick search of EyB forum on adding personal recipes and bookmarklets..a post around a month ago from Christine: " You can still have a recipe from one of these sites on your shelf if you wish by adding it as a personal-recipes-to-your-bookshelf">Personal Recipe and including the URL. If you feel we may have misindentified a site as an aggregator/user-submitted site, email me at [email protected] and we can re-evaluate."...

Click on My Bookshelf / Add Personal Recipe.  Then you just have to give it a Title and enter the URL - you can ignore the rest.  If you then attach a Bookmark to it (you could add a category of 'Research Later'), you can keep a list of all these recipes to go back to later.  To do this, you would go to My Bookshelf and just choose the bookmark you have created to get the list.  Hope this helps.

Perfect!  Thx, Susan F.  I have personal bookmarks of "potential, immediate potential [seasonal or for something in the fridge already], blog/looks good, and now 'research later'"  Works for me.
