Theme for Recipe Site?

Did you have a look at all 170+ ? ??

https://themes.wordpress.net/theme-viewer.php

Actually, yes I’ve been through them all. Actually, I got real excited about the one with the woman on the scale for my Weight Loss blog but apparently it’s not downloadable. ??

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to make CSS recipe cards for the recipe site and I wonder if I can do recipe cards for just the recipe category and some other design for the tips & tricks, product reviews and food finds.

“but apparently it’s not downloadable”
Which theme was that?

Basically, you want the different kinds of posts to each have their own style, correct? One way to do this is with a plugin; Structured Blogging was designed for this purpose. Another way to do this would be to have custom key for different kinds of posts, and you would define different css styles for the different kinds of posts. The Blix theme has implemented this for its use of mini-posts.

@ifelse: the Sassy & Slim theme used stock art from iStockPhoto. The author later discovered that the license agreement for their art prohibits distribution, and so she took the theme down.

brainwidth – thanks for pointing me to that pluggin. I will have to give it some serious looking over this weekend. ??

And yup, the Sassy & Slim one was the one I was thinking of. It is perfect so to speak. Ah, well, gives me an opportunity to design my own.

What software do y’all use to test your designs before you upload it to your site?

It’s a good idea to install a seperate sandbox/test area. You can install this on your local machine or on the same host.

You can then test out the themes safe in the knowledge that you’re not affecting your main site.

If you need any help with custom graphics, you can contact me at my food blog . All I’d ask is a link.

I like your product reviews, btw. May have to look into one of those yogurt makers.

I like your food blog. ?? I must remember to add it to the links on mine when I get it converted and adding links is EASY. ??

I *have* been looking to replace the little chef logo I’ve been using as I got it from some clip art thing when I was selling Pampered Chef and I’ve used it on all my baked good labels but I’d like something more unique. I just haven’t figured out what that is and I am not artistically inclined when it comes to drawing or photoshop. ??

BTW, that Salton yogurt maker is great. I’ve had several people come back and tell me they love the one they bought after reading the review. I have some more product reviews to put up but I’m now waiting until I move everything over now.

Well, again, if you need any help, I’ve done three installs and some customization, both graphic and plugin types, so just holler.

I’m working on moving my cooking blog to WP as we speak (type?). It’s here: https://www.jazgordon.com/cooking

I just used a theme I found (desert theme) and changed the graphic.

Jaz – Nice! Did you use blockquote for the recipes to distinguish it or are you using some other form of coding like div?

Hmmmm…I wonder if I could set up a div or blockquote to look like a recipe card…you know, with a little tab at the top? Hmmmmm…

you might want to look at the travelogue theme, there are two CSS tricks for boxes that I’m playing with, one for the boxes in the side bar, and another that sets up the date of the post in the post itself. Either could be adapted for a recipe card.
