Good work so far.  I was just about to do the sign up Brad and whilst I 
understand you'll need my true email address for the verification link, 
I want to check first that our email addresses won't be visible to 
everybody.

(It's just that my e/address has my full name in it & I'd rather people 
in general not see that.  I know I could get a Hotmail or Yahoo e/a but 
I can't be bothered.)

Thanks.

No user details are visible, released to anyone, or used in any links. 
The only reference visible to others, would be when a recipe is posted, 
the first name you sign up with would show...but not the email address. 
The name that shows, is "first" name only...not the full name. this 
could be changed to show either the user ID(each user has a unique 
number) or the username (the one you sign in with) as opposed to the 
first name...

Looks fine to me :)
Something I've saved as a fav and will certainly use.

I like all the features you already have and all that you've suggested.

I'll suggest one more .... but others might think it daft ... I dunno....

Maybe there could be an option for adding a note about nutrition / WW points
etc.  I try and work out  WW points for a lot of what I bake and could add
that to any recipes I post  so other WW don't have to work it out
themselves.  Also, there might be an option for a "nutrition / allergies"
box where one can flag any "gluten / nut / dairy free" , "high fibre", "low
fat / sugar " etc.  Maybe with a note that the advice offered is a
suggestion / estimation only and people are advised to check for themselves
for possible allergens / fat content / sugar content etc.

But I really really like what you've done - thanks Brad :)

What error? If you are unable to resolve the host, thats a bigpond
issue... Otherwise let me know...

Checked logs 10mins either side of 3pm and there are hits, so others are
able to get there...

I keep thinking of more as I go.. Not any good at graphic design are you? :)

WW section wont be too hard...

How would you like it? Just an extra option to input a number during the
"add recipe" routine? And the at the end of a recipe, have a 
WW Points = 6.2
or something like that?

With allergies, gluten, nuts and dairy.. are they the only three likely
candidates?

Nice clean design. I like the 'Printable' mode. Don't think the 'email 
address required' will yield much, from experience on one of my sites 
(where I use exactly the same approach) you end up with a whole list of 
throw-away addresses, anonimizers etc. For that to be useful the MyInfo 
needs to be edit-able, so once people have realized nothing bad is going 
to happen if they use a (semi-)valid email address for this site they 
can fill it in.

Nitpicks: Put a warning on the login screen that cookies are must be 
enabled, or use some other means of session control. Is 
'Auth*net*ication successful' a new term for internet authentication?

Thought as much but I felt a need to check.  Thank you, Brad.

Thanks for the feedback!

The email address required, is really only there as a means to verify that
the account should be created...don't care if they are throwaway
addresses, as long as they work at the time of signing up....as a
validation key is sent to that address...

That's coming... It is only displaying non editable details at the moment,
so the link is not totally redundant :) I will work on this in the next
few days.

Note enabled on the login screen.

Fixed typo :) Also , successful was spelt wrong...fixed that too! Keep
picking :)

Have added WW points,
WW points will show in the header of each recipe. If no points were 
added, the ww heading will not show at all..

Added 4 points to homus for testing :P

All I need is input from everyone.
If anyone wants to do design though, they are more than welcome :)

You're a wonder - thanks Brad.
As for the allergy stuff, I'm not the person to ask ...but I would think
those were the major ones.
...and sorry - graphic design of anything other than gardens and art of the
hand made variety is not me ... but I think what's there looks ok anyway,
