Bakespace continued

I received a thoughtful comment from Bakespace giving me directions for signing up to the site. I just want you all to know that I really did NOT mean to imply that it is difficult to sign up for Bakespace because it is, in fact, very easy to sign up. Takes two minutes, really. However, since I am doing this blog as part of a graduate school library class, I didn't have two minutes at that time. Since, it is now the weekend and I have finally finished all the homework, I went back to spend a little more time with Bakespace.

There are even more features than I gave the site credit for in my earlier post. To begin with, there is a video that explains each part of the set up procedure, so when I say it is easy, it is really easy. When you first join, you go to "my kitchen," where you have this really neat option to choose from a huge list of categories of recipes that interest you. Since I am unfortunately on a diet, I chose, low-calorie, weight watchers and southbeach. A mini-feed appeared in my kitchen which showed recipes from those categories that might interest me. I am going to try a chicken salsa recipe that sounds easy.

I still have many more features to explore, like the mentors, adding and bookmarking recipes, etc., but I didn't want to leave you with the impression that it was difficult to sign up for this service. Give it a try, it will solve that daily conundrum, "what should I cook for dinner tonight?"

Was the email b/c someone at Bakespace had read your blog post? Interesting.

Hi Guys! It's Babette @ BakeSpace again. Thanks for the follow up. Renee, if getting a second post was as easy as sending in a comment there would be a lot more bloggers writing about us. :) We wish it was that easy. Because we're a grassroots community and a small team we try to keep up with posts on the web - let bloggers know we appreciate the mention. Also, if someone has an issue it's easier for us to reach out and lend a helping hand. Who knows.. maybe that person will tell their friends about us and so on. It also helps us figure out what we're doing right and what doesn't work - like instant feedback. Thanks again! Have a good week!

Renee, I almost died when there was a comment from someone other than a classmate on my blog. Babette, you all do a great job. Keep up the good work. Talked about your site yesterday at a luncheon with a group of women too. L
