How to Contribute Recipes to the Blog


Are you interested in adding a recipe (or more) to the Douglas Neighborhood Pantry Recipes blog?

First, email Lindsey Scarber at lindsey.scarber@gmail.com that you would like to be a blog contributor, be sure to use the email address that you'd like to use as your log-in.
Soon after you email Lindsey, you will receive an invite to become a blog contributor.

Once you accept, you can post recipes. 
How to Log-In: Go to 
blogger.com, and sign in using your Google account (gMail)
How to Post: Click the orange pencil button next to the title "Douglas Neighborhood Recipes" to open a new post.
Please use these guidelines when posting a recipe. 

1. Recipe Title: Your title should be the name of the recipe.

2. Source: If you got the recipe from another source or cookbook, be sure to give them credit!

3. Ingredients and Instructions: Include ingredients and step-by-step instructions.

4. Picture: If possible (though not necessary) include a picture of the food or process.

5. Credit: Give yourself credit!  And tell us why you like this recipe more than any other similar recipe, in as much detail as you like! We want to get to know you as much as your recipe. Be sure to sign your name at the end of the post.
6. Labels are important: Be sure to label your recipe with the type of food (Breakfast, Dinner, Bread, ect) and the main ingredients (Whole Wheat Flour, Chocolate, Fruit, Etc.), and label it with Food Storage if you are able to make this recipe using ingredients from your personal pantry!

To label your recipes: On the right-hand column of the pre-post page (before you publish your recipe), there is a header titled "Labels" - Type your labels, with commas between each.  Many of your labels may already be listed. Try to use labels that already exist, to help with consistency.


Thank you!
