We ought to have a new contest. It should last for 30 days. The idea is to generate more recipes for the site. More recipes means more hits when someone does a Google search. More hits means more members and more traffic.
We could have a special thread where each day a Mod/Admin, or chosen one would post a category such as “Chicken Breasts”.
Then, everyone that wants to participate in the contest would go to the appropriate sub-forum and post a recipe for chicken breast and then post back in the special forum their link to that new recipe. For example, say the challenge of the day was “Appetizers”, I could post a new recipe in appetizers and come back to the challenge thread and post.

Recipes should be NEW and not a link to something you have already posted like I just did in this example. I just did that to show how the info post would work.
The forums here run the gambit, and I’m not a baker, so I don’t see me posting in every category meaning I doubt I could win, but the idea is to tap all the creative resources we have here to boost the current recipe count. When someone Googles “Chicken wings” this site is more likely to get a hit if we have more recipes.
After 30 days, we count all the posts (might be a bear to do) and whoever posted the most recipes (you can post more than one for a given category - this allows us grillers to post more caveman recipes to make up for no baking skills ) wins. This would be a cool challenge that really causes us all to dig deep and come up with the best of the best and the tried and true, it also beefs up this site and makes it a great resource which will be more visible in a Google search.
What do you think?
I’ll contribute money to the pot for a good prize (anyone…..Admin/Mod……got PayPal) or I’ll buy something cool and make it the prize to ship out to the winner.
