Thanks for your comments, Babette, Chris.

I like what I’ve seen of BakeSpace so far. I’ll stick around at least long enough to upload a few recipes.

Johnofjack, don’t give up on BakeSpace. Maybe you just haven’t spent enough time with us. I joined at the end of December I think it was, and am now checking in daily…finding recipes, sharing recipes, chatting with friends, etc. If you really take a look around, you’ll find a forum for pretty much anything. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, start a new thread and folks will happily join in. As to the photos, I’m just getting the hang of that myself. If you hadn’t noticed while you were there, Babette didn’t mention that when you open a recipe, if you click on the thumbnail, it will open the photo in a larger format if that helps. She also runs some great give-aways. Just had one through KitchenAid in Feb. Hope to see you on BakeSpace.

Hi johnofjack – This is Babette, founder of BakeSpace.com. Thanks for giving us a try and for mentioning us in your roundup. It looks like we’re in great company as they are all heavy hitters and run by great teams. I hear what you’re saying about photos – we’ve found that a lot of our members are home cooks foremost and food photographers second so it’s taking them some time to get used to the idea that a camera in the kitchen is the next big kitchen accessory! But what you will find are some very passionate cooks who are interested in sharing and discovering food with you. Thanks again for joining our grassroots community – if you have any trouble or need some help, let me know. You are welcome to email me anytime! I’m also your first friend (babs) so you can find me on your profile. Have a great day & thanks again for including us.

And, over on Facebook, Tofu Hut John recommends quietube. It looks like a great site.

If Slinky were a professional actor, what would you have had her do?

I didn’t like the ending.

I agree. That top level domain thing limits what you can do. I wanted to add the YALSA blog to my searchroll, but Rollyo will only search wikis.ala.org, which includes all ALA wikis.

I was also frustrated by the way Rollyo behaved. Maybe someday it will get tweaked enough to be able to search sub-pages within a website. Since it’s basically free, I guess we’re getting what we paid for.
