New Spam Plugin
My old spam filter's been on the fritz for a while now, so I'm switching plugins.
Is it working well? I need YOU to let me know if there's issues! Just leave a comment or send me a message.
Thanks!

Finding Morsels of Life...on Facebook
Facebook's one of those things I both like and dislike. I like being able to interact with you on the Morsels of Life page. (Come join in - you know you want to!) However, I'm not liking the constant changes influencing what you see or don't see.
I know if I "like" a page, I want to see updates! (Why would I "like" a page I don't want to know about?!)
But now, just "liking" a page doesn't mean you get to see what's up in your feed. Facebook shows you updates from pages you interact/like/share/comment/etc the most. Since you probably interact with the pages showing up in your news feed the most, the cycle continues!
So, how do you see updates from pages you like?
Well, first, like the page. Also, be sure you check "Show in News Feed."
Then, create some lists and add the relevant pages to your lists. (Another bonus - lists also bring some order to all the people and pages you've friended or liked. Kinda like the lists on Twitter. You can follow me there too!)
Creating lists on Facebook is super simple too! Just go to the left sidebar on your main Facebook page. (It should be just facebook.com once you're logged in. Click on the top left Facebook logo if you don't see it.) Go down until you see "Interests" - you might need to click on the "More" to see it.
Add your interests. Facebook might make some recommendations, but you can make your own lists too.
Click to create your list, and then you can pick which pages or friends you want to include.
Just pick whichever pages you want to include and click "Next." Bringing you to this window:
Here you can name your list, determine who gets to see your list, and see who you've put on your list.
Going back to your main Facebook page, you can see your list. I'm interested in food. (In case you didn't already know! :P)
Now you've got all your interests organized in one place - give yourself a golden star!
I know it takes a bit of time to set up, but it's a one-time set-up, and you'll get to see all the pages and people you want - all nice and sorted too!
In summary - you want to see more of Morsels of Life on Facebook (and you know you do)! What should you do?

- Make a list of your favorite topics, and be sure to add Morsels of Life!

Happy Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day for remembering those who died in military service, originating after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We'll return to our regular schedule next week. Hope you all enjoy this time with friends and family!
New Home!
So this new site is what I've been working on behind the scenes this past week! Let's just say it was quite an adventure, seeing as how I don't know any CSS and only basic HTML. Hopefully I've made improvements to your viewing experience, but as with any change, there's going to be an adjustment period and some kinks to work out. (Help me out! If you see something that's not working quite right, please let me know!) I'm still working on formatting the older posts from Blogger, but I've also added some functionality (and I'm working on some more)!
Here's some of the functionality:
Hope you all enjoy the new site! If you see anything not working quite right, please let me know. I'm sure there's still a few kinks I need to work out! Also, if there's some additional functionality you'd like to see, please let me know too!
Here's some of the functionality:
- Print Link - instead of having to click through and go to a different site, you can just press the Print button at the top of a post! You can even customize what parts of the post you want to print and what parts you don't. Save yourself some paper and ink or toner!
- Nav Bar - I've still got the Nav Bar under the header, and I'm still working on updating it! It's mostly the same as the Blogspot, but with a Sitemap and Contact Form.
- Facebook Like Button - If you like a recipe, please click the like button and share!
- Sharing Bar - Just making it a little easier for you to email or share a recipe. :) If you like other sharing sites, please let me know!
- Material Cloud - Clicking on each word will take you to a page with recipes using that material (aka ingredient - I'm just used to Materials and Methods from lab :P).
- Search - Can't find something on the site? You can try the search box I have up there on the right! (It's still going to Blogspot until I get the posts here formatted a bit.)
- Private Comment - Ever want to leave a comment, but not for everyone? Just check off the "Private" box next to the "Submit Comment" button, and only the person you're responding to will see the comment! Writing a new comment means only I will see it, so it's another way to contact me (privately) in addition to the Contact Form.
Hope you all enjoy the new site! If you see anything not working quite right, please let me know. I'm sure there's still a few kinks I need to work out! Also, if there's some additional functionality you'd like to see, please let me know too!
Work in Progress!
I'm still at http://morselsoflife.blogspot.com so check there for updates! I'll post there once I get this site up and running (hopefully soon)!
Happy Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day! Did you do anything special today?
Also...I'm currently working on some stuff behind the scenes, but it's taking a bit longer than I expected. (Isn't that always how it works?) Since it's taking a bit longer, I won't be posting much this week, but hopefully I'll have everything up and running (better) soon! (Wish me luck and don't abandon me while I'm gone!)
