A while back I decided I was going to keep track of my recipes. I tried a few recipe software apps. Talk about stiffling- each ingredient had its own text field and no room for notes or substitutions and the tabbing, ugh!

I wanted a place where i could jot down my notes, ideas, thoughts, sources and ingredient lists.Something easy to access, easy to setup. I signed up with wordpress.com and I pointed a domain here.

Suddenly, despite the economic downturn, I got really busy and, to be honest, logging into wordpress became a hassle. Plus, I could never seem to squeeze in some photo-time so I could post a snapshot of the final product. I had all these draft posts lingering here…

The decision to move to my own hosted site came when I received a notice to renew my wordpress upgrades (the domain hosting thing). It came at a time when I had to decide what I wanted from my online social life. Changes were made, lots of them, the big one was cancelling my time-wasting account on Facebook and re-starting this food blog.

Please visit me at Shoestringfoodie.com.

Though I still don’t have time to photograph my food, I have been posting every few days and I am using  Txfeast.tumblr.com to bookmark interesting recipes from around the web.

Cheers.
