I'm disappointed it isn't easier to add links to online recipes. I was hoping it was as simple as clicking the "Add to EYB Recipes" on my toolbar - I wasn't expecting all the indexing, and was very surprised that my submission needed to be approved to show on my bookshelf. Does this mean if I chose to not index fully my submission will be rejected?

I'd like to get rid of a folder full of links and move them here - even if they're not fully indexed. 

Online recipes added with the Bookmarklet are indexed by members, then proofread and approved by us. This is because recipes added with the Bookmarklet are not only added to your own Bookshelf, but also to the EYB Library where other members can also search for them or add them to their Bookshelves. Because they are available to everyone, we want them to be consistent with the rest of the Library. However, if you have a lot of recipes to add and do not wish to index them, your best option would be to add them as Personal Recipes instead. You can copy and paste the recipe title and URL and it is up to you how much or little other information (ingredients, categories, etc.) you wish to add because those recipes will only be seen by you. Personal Recipes will appear on your Bookshelf as soon as you click save. For more information on how to add a Personal Recipe, please click here.

I have added several recipes using the Bookmarklet and it is not that hard to do.  At first I didn't realize that I was adding the recipe for everyone and didn't understand why I had to do ingredient list but once I understood it was going to be shared it made perfect sense.  Now my only question is about adding the Bookmarklet tool to my IPad.   I have it on the PCs I use at home and my office but haven't been able to figure out how to add it to the tablet.  Maybe it just isn't possible?

hillsboroks - you can use the Bookmarklet on an iPad.  The installation is a bit more complicated but we have a tutorial in Help.
