Hi everyone!

I made a few improvements and squashed a few bugs today, things should run a bit smoother. Some of the things that were done

I thought it was kinda lame that the /recipes page showed duplicates. Like if Vodka Tonic was the best drink it might show up under the Vodka AND the Tonic Category. Now it will just show up under one. This fix should make that page much more useful.

Not sure if anyone noticed but there was a comment undo-delete bug in the hype section. That's been fixed :-p

Click on my friends like

via the drink recipes page and it will show you a list of all the drinks that your friends liked! Don't have any friends yet? Add me!

Example: Pepper Slammer

You can link to other recipes in the comments by just pasting the full URL. The site will parse the url and just output the title. like this.

changes to

Did someone make your favorite drink the wrong way? Now you can post your take on how to make it! Just go to the drink page and use the form underneath to submit your recipe!

Alrighty folks! You are now able to edit and delete your recipes! Please note that you can not modify the ingredients in your recipe, if you want to change the ingredients you must delete your recipe and start over.

Oh boy! Today I made it so that similar drinks appear in the sidebar of the recipe (over on the right).

Oh also you can tag recipes now!

The way it works is the author (owner) of a recipe can add or delete any tags, except for the ingredients. Any other person can add tags to a recipe, but can only delete ones that they've themselves have added.

Make sure you tag lots of stuff because it makes it easier for people to find recipes! Radical!

You can now add and categorize drinks in your recipe book. There's a little button the recipe page that lets you add, then you can categorize. To view your recipe book you can click the text at the top that says "My recipe book", click one of the many links around the site that say "Take me to my recipe book" or go into your profile and click "Recipe book" in the navigation there.

In the near future you will be able to print out your recipe book and the categories will be used as "Chapters" when printing.

The recipe book can also be used to keep track of favorite recipes and such.

So Jake and I were talking about how cool it would be to allow the ExtraTasty users to post their flickr, del.icio.us and blog items to their profile. Kind of like a profile aggregator.

So we did it. Under the account page is a space for your flickr username, your del.icio.us, and an rss feed of your choice. When you fill this information out - your profile page grabs your posted items and shows them to people who view your profile. If you don't have an account at these sites go grab one now (flickr, del.icio.us). Right now we are calling it web presence, but if you have a better name let us know.

I really like this because it connects social networks. (Note to people making social networks: We need more connections people! Lets work together!)

So check out Jake's and my profiles.

Also - flickr and del.icio.us are some of our favorite social networks. we are not opposed to integrating with other social networks. if you have any ideas of a site that we could integrate with.. let us know.

So it has been a month or so since we launched Extratasty and I am sure you all have noticed the growth and evolution of the site. It has been awesome to see how y'all have interacted and to test some of the excellent drinks that have been added.

Since we are in no way done with Extratasty, I want to remind all you fellow drinkers that if you run across something that makes you think: "umm.. wtf.." then please email us at info@extratasty.com. If you want to talk to Ivan, please call us at (773) 915-1159 ext 894.

Oh yea. I have noticed that I am the only person leaving comments!! If you see a drink that you like, let the creator know that you liked it. Leave a comment. Rate it. INTERACT!

See y'all out this weekend with my Extratasty recipes in hand and my bar money in the other. ;)

Oh yea.. I want to hint to a little secret we are working on. It should be active at some point in the near future - but should change the way you drink and mobile.

I Just set it up so that when you are listing recipes you can switch between a line and a card view. The card view is pretty nice because you can see the entire recipe... so check it out!
