nevermind. I am kinda seeing what I need to do... a little bit more work

Can I create HTML code in a blog? I click "enable HTML CODE but it does not do anything. I need this to show up in the blog about the recipe

Hello LAUREN

You put in the HTML-code in the text-box, and then you click on enable HTML.

This will do that the content is treated as html

When I click the HTML enable there is no seperate "box"

I entered what I wanted it to say on the page, 

clicked the HTML box, then pasted the lines under the orginal content, click the html bx again, but it all showed up on the screen when I hit preview.

I am not HTML smart.  I promise not to take offense to anything you say because I am truly a HTML idiot

Hello LAUREN

I have made a test here : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/brm02/blog/?test-5-

You can see what is behind here :

Hope this show what I mean.

Tell us when you have it to function, or need more information.

Also tell if I have not understood what it is about.

Kind regards

I think I may be asking for to much... I WANT people to read the pretty blog writing website 5x provides, but the html code is needed for third party apps (the html code does not need to be seen) can I hide the HTML code from the blog after I create the pretty blog?   Does this makes sense?  the top is the pretty writing, the bottom is the html code I put at the bottom.  I guess I could make the HTML code "white" but everything I try shows the HTML in writing along with the pretty blog

Hello LAUREN

You could use hidden.

In each tag you add hidden. Examples :

  <h1class="fn" hidden>Fettuccine alfredo</h1>   

<li hidden>Add cooked pasta . Add remaining 1/3 cup of cream, the parmeasan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Cook over very low heat untill sause thickens tossing to combine all ingrendints, 1-2 minutes.
</li>

<p hidden>Add <span  class="duration"><spanclass="value-title"title="PT30M" hidden></span>15 minutes</span> to cook</p>

But would it not be easier for you to copy your recipe and paste it to AnyList ?

I don't know anything about AnyList but will it then not also be possible to add an image to your recipe ?

It seems that you have a link to your site in the html-code. Again - I don't know AnyList - but if there is a possibility to, here to make a link from a recipe, then you should know that you can make a link directly to a blog-post.

Maybe an easy way for you, could be that you on your site had some pages where you had the html-recipies.

You could have them in html-objects or in text-objects - as you wish.

You could "hide" the pages by putting them in in a level with a locked page. The pages themselves should not be locked, as they would then be php-pages.

The pages would then be accesible if someone have a link to them.

This way a serch engine, would still find the pages and the html-codes will then be used for indexing in AnyList ( I guess this is the mening with all this )

And you would still have the "nice" recipes on your blog.

Just a thought.

If some of my posts is of any value for you, you should fell free to give them a thumbs-up.

Kind regards

I can do that. That gives me plenty to think about! thank you

As for the third party apps. Anylist (as well as other 3rd party recipe app) can be an add on to chrome where when you see the recipe on your screen you click a button it takes all that information a transports it to you app. Takes all of 30secs. No copying or pasting and is super easy and quick. I want others to have that option as well. The blog would have been the easiest way for me to do that and get feedback if it was a good turnout, or a "this sucked" idea. I can find a way around it though I am sure.  I may do a blog AND create a page for the 3rd party download of that recipe so I still get the blog features.
