How to create weblog posts using your recipes
In addition to being able to use MacGourmet to create websites for your recipes and notes, you can also publish them to your weblog, if you have one. To do that you first need to create a new Weblog definition. To do this go to the Publish panel in Preferences, and select the Weblogs tab.
