Thanks, Kim. . .it look good. I was just looking over the files and it looks

like someone else has also started filing recipes in another file. . .so we have

a duplication. For future clarification, let's continue with the one Kim has

started (it's labelled bearhouse52000 and was created on 10/12/2003) so we are

all on the same page. The file to post recipes to is listed as: Recipes Posted

to VGF . Filing by month is an excellent idea. . .it does make the task less

daunting!

 

Thanks!

I hope nobody minds, but I started filing some of the recipes. So

far I have done all the recipes from August and September this year -

2 down, only 43 to go! Doing this month by month seems a lot less

daunting than doing it all by numbers. If anything needs to be

changed (folder names, categories etc.) just let me know.

Hi Jenni,

 

I'm glad you haven't got many to swap over. I hadn't noticed you'd

started and I thought I'd start a fresh folder. I've done all the

recipes from Jan 2004 - Sept 2004. It's time consuming but not too

bad. I've come across heaps of yummy recipes to try and now I'll be

able to find them when I want them :)

Kim and Jenni ~

 

Thank you for all the work you have accomplished and for the instructions

you've sent so that the rest of us know exactly what we can do to help. It

is an overwhelming task and you are making excellent progress. I know

because each time you enter a recipe in the file I receive an email telling

me what you posted. You have hundred's done. . .great work! I will work on

a month (maybe this week-end) and your idea of listing in the temporary

folder the months/posts that have been already processed is excellent. It

helps the rest of us know what we can do to help.

 

I really encourage other list members to assist with this project. It will

be a great service to all of us. . .our vegan and gluten free recipes

available easily.

Hi All,

Jenni and I have started filing all the recipes. Jenni has started

at the beginning, from mess#1 and I am working backwards. So far I

have filed all the recipes from August 2003 - September 2004. It is

a time consuming process, so if there are any willing helpers it

would be greatly appreciated - Just pick a month anywhere in the

middle and work from there. I'll open a tempory folder in the top of

the main folder to record what months have been done.

 

The method I am using is as follows:

 

- Have 2 windows open - one with the messages and one with the files

(It is faster to switch between these windows than to go back and

forth between the files and messages in the one window).

 

- Working through the messages month-by-month and one-by-one, simply

highlight the recipe and copy.

 

- Open the relevant category folder, click " Create Text file " , and

paste the recipe into the box.

 

- Type (or copy and paste) the name of the recipe into " File Name " .

 

- Type " from whoever posted the recipe " into " Description " .

 

- Click " Create File " and your done.

 

*It is a good idea to check the file afterwards to make sure it has

copied and pasted properly. One common problem is for the words to

run off the page making it a pain to read and almost impossible to

print, so it may be necessary to edit the recipe by pushing the

enter button in the appropriate places.

 

*Any corrections or helpful comments in later messages are easily

added by using the " Edit " button next to the recipe.

 

*If a recipe is accidently placed in the wrong category it's really

easy to move. Click the " Cut " button next to the recipe, open the

correct category folder and click " Paste " .

 

*If there is more than one recipe with the same file name in a

folder it won't record the file. In this case just add " -2(or

whatever) " to the end of the name.

 

*If there is a " / " in the recipe name, I have found that only the

words after the " / " are recorded, so I changed any of these to a " - " .

 

I hope this makes sense,

Kim.
