Today's Case:

HELP!

Hi Folks,

I have finally decided to make a "HELP!" page for the people who want to get the recipes from my website, but don't know how to do so. When I began this site, back in the 1990s, most everyone who used the World-Wide Web to get recipes was at least a little knowledgeable about how to copy and paste the recipes and then save them on their own computer or print them out on their printer. It was simple enough if you knew how to use the text editor that was on your computer, either windows or Apple. You just highlighted the recipe with your mouse then clicked on "copy" in the edit menu of your browser, and then "paste" to paste it into a text file in your text editor and then "save" to save it. Not really complicated. But then after 2000, cell phones came into use, and the process got a bit more complicated for people who used their phones to access the web. There was no mouse, and the process of highlighting the recipe, copying it and saving it to your phone became different according to whether you had an android phone or an apple iphone.

The result is that I get frequent requests from people who want me to just e-mail one or more recipes to them, either for their own convenience or because they don't know how to copy the recipe from my page to their phone. The only time that I email a recipe is when I locate a recipe for the first time. If someone requests a recipe that is not already on my site, then I locate the recipe, email it to the requester, and then post the new request and reply with the recipe, onto my site.

My site is not cost-free for me. The basic tools - my laptop and my internet connection are not free. Of course, I would have those anyway. I didn't get them just to do the website. However, in order to have a website, I have to pay a yearly fee to the server who hosts it. I also have to pay a yearly fee to register the "domain name" of my site. For the first several years I did my site. I just paid these costs without thinking about it. I just did it for fun. Later, though, I began to realize that, besides the fees I had to pay, keeping the site going, searching for all these recipes, was taking a lot of my time. So, I had ads placed on m the pages of my site. I don't make a lot from the ads. They don't earn anything at all unless a visitor clicks on one of the ads. I barely get enough from them to pay the server and domain fees, certainly not enough to recompense me for the time that I spend searching for the recipes and otherwise maintaining the site. It's still "fun" to do, but after 20 years, it's not amusing enough for me to keep paying the fees out of my own pocket.

So, to help folks locate and download the recipes from my site, I decided to do this "help" page. I will still email recipes that are not already on my site - that's how I get new content - but if the recipe that you want is already on my site, please locate it and copy or print it.

How do you do that? Here are basic instructions:

The front page of my site is where you should start. It is here: https://www.hungrybrowser.com/
Save this link as a "favorite" and always start from there whern you are looking for a recipe on my site.
Looking at that page:
In the upper right, there are these links:
Important Pages:

Home - that's the front page of the website, the starting point.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Popular Requests - This is a page of links to the recipes that people want most often.
Main Index - This is an ordinary alphabetic index of the recipes, just like the index of a book.
Yearly Archives - This is an index by the year in which the recipe was posted on my site.
Links - This is a list of links to websites that have asked me to display a link to their website or to cookbooks and the like.
Puzzlers - This is a list of recipes or topics that are of interest to me.

In the upper left is a Search engine box. Type the name of the recipe or type of recipe that you are looking for in the box, and click on "Search". You will be given a list of links to pages on which that appears.

In the center of the page are "Latest Posts," which is a reverse list by date of the recipes that I have posted this year.

Just above that are tips:
Links to the Most Popular Recipes - Check this List First!
Alphabetic Index of All Recipes - Check this index second!
Third, use the Search Feature in the left-hand corner above!

If you want to search my site for a particular recipe, you should check "Links to the Most Popular Recipes" first. click on that phrase and the "Most Popular Recipes" page will appear. That's a long list of links by subject, of the most popular recipes on the site. Most of them are either types of recipes or the names of restaurants. If the recipe that you want fits into one of those categories, click on it. You will be taken to a topic page for that type of recipe or for that restaurant. For instance, if you are looking for a recipe from"Morrison's Cafeteria," click on "Morrison's Cafeteria" and you will be taken to a link page with links to all of the Morrison's recipe that I have on it.

On that link page, look at the list of linked recipes. If the recipe that you want is on it, click on it - for instance: "Egg Custard Pie". That will take you to a page with the recipe on it.

Highlight the recipe (however that's done with your device: android cell phone, apple i-phone, or computer), then copy and paste it to the place you want to save it and save it or print it if you have a printer. If you don't know how to copy, paste, and save or print text items on your device, then you will need to get someone to show you how to do so on your particular device.

If the type or source of the recipe that you want is not listed on the "Most Popular Recipes" page then you should search for it with the "Search Engine Box" (See Above) or the "Alphabetic Index of All Recipes."

The Alphabetic Index of All Recipes is just like the index of a book. Look it up by the name of the recipe or the type of recipe and click on the link. If you find it on one of the lists of links, click on it's name and you will be taken to the recipe.

If none of these things works, email me and tell me and I will send you a direct link to the recipe. If the recipe is not on my site, then I will treat it as a new search and I will try to find it. Please make an attempt to find whether or not it is already on my site. That way, if you want to search for another recipe in the future, you will know how to find it.
