Cooking web notes

Thanks to all who entered my first ever giveaway. The winner is Neen! Neen, I've sent you an email, so get back to me as soon as you can with your mailing address.

It's interesting to note that of 112 comments received, only 68 of you actually have your email as part of your blogger identity. Several of you left comments of "please enter me", and not only is your email not part of your blogger identity, you didn't leave one as part of the comment!

So, I'm reiterating my request again. Trust me when I tell you that you'll not only win more giveaways if you do this, you'll make more friends.

Go into your blogger profile and click the little box next to the words, "Show my email address". If that email address is one that you don't want made public, then create a different address in yahoo or hotmail or whatever. That's what I did. (I haven't had any spam issues or problems doing this either.) Once you do this, people can respond to comments you make or easily answer your questions. It's really nice, and it's a neat way to make new friends.
