Fixing Up onetsp.mobi for Mobile Users

I’ve been spending some time over the last few nights trying to make sure that Google, Yahoo!, and MSN index the web version of One tsp. and not the mobile version. Seems that the .mobi version of the site shows up more frequently in Google search results, rather than the “desktop” version. Not so good.

I’m also getting a better test suite together of mobile phone emulators to make sure that users with iPhones, BlackBerries, Opera Mini, or any other mobile browser are all seeing relatively the same thing. I don’t expect it to be perfect — I’d just like it to work.

I wanted to also mention that the dev.mobi site (and other sites affiliated, see their header links) has a ton of great information about building mobilized web sites.

Berry Review, a BlackBerry news site, covered One tsp. today, noting that the mobile recipe webapp is just as useful for BlackBerry owners.

Thanks for the plug, guys.

Store recipes in gmail (or del.icio.us)

Here’s an easy tip for storing recipes in gmail, if that’s your preference. Any way to store recipes online seems like a good option to me.

Another option is to store your recipes using del.icio.us, a great tip from simplemom.net.

One tsp. now available in Apple’s web app gallery

Many thanks to Apple for listing One tsp. in their web apps directory. At the moment, we’re on the front page of the most recent apps, but we’re about to fall off. One tsp. is listed in the productivity section of the directory.

AppSafari listed One tsp. on its web site today. Thanks, guys… we really appreciate it!

The site also has a great listing of other recipe and cooking webapps that you might want to take a look through if you have an iPhone.

One tsp. has gotten just a little bit better with storing your recipes. Now you can make updates to your recipes after you have posted them.

Also, when you print your recipes from the web site, they come out nice and clean thanks to a fresh, new print-only style sheet.

Don’t forget that you can access the mobile site from your Blackberry or iPhone!

Recipe Microformats

Today, I’ve been looking at the Recipe Microformats discussion and seeing what I can implement on the recipes at One tsp. Looks like the basics currently listed in the brainstorming pages are pretty easy to add, so they’re going onto the site shortly.

One tsp. is now live

I’ve been kicking around plans to launch a site for managing recipes online. Somewhere I could store all of my stuff in one place, and still get to it from work or on the go. The site is One tsp., and it’s now open to the public.

Much, much more in the works. So far, it’s a simple, easy place to post recipes - without all of the social networking nonsense.
