So sorry Taxi and Chief....yikes. This is not the time of year to have vents such as those, but I guess it's never a 'good' time. Hope it gets better....
I have the same problem with font color/size.I believe we have all vented about this before and I'm pretty sure I have but I need to vent again.
1. What is with bloggers (particularly food types) that everything is in pale grey or blue type? I can hardly read a word. My eyes ache from squinting! Printing their recipes is also in the same pale colour.
2. Many do not have a "jump to recipe" spot. Meaning you have to scroll down for absolutely ages to find it. This is particularly important when you are returning to a blog. You've already read all their oohs, ahhs, best ever, trust me..., even the picky kids will... I just want to check something in the recipe!
3. The same picture at least half a dozen times. I love to see the food and the preps but not the same picture at different angles and size.
4. Ads on their web-site that takes up more than half the screens.
Thank you for listening... and if you're a blogger, pick up your socks.
I have the same problem with font color/size.
From computer browser:
Copy the recipe text and paste it into a New Notepad page. It goes to the Notepad in a standard font and black color. Print from there
That's what I do for recipes I want...
I tried to get Copy Me That on my new laptop and for some reason it didn't work.. I know its a "me" glitch and I'll figure it out someday..

What browser are you using? I couldn't get it to work in FireFox for a while, but it was working fine in Chrome. I eventually figured it out. FF has built in tracking protection. Many of the food sites have tracking that FF protects you from. If I turn off tracking protection, I can get Copy Me That to work with those sites.
Since I want to have the tracking protection, I have to remember to turn it back on once the recipe is copied. I wish they would let me turn it off for "just this one time", so it would switch back on when I close the tab.
Well heck... I do use FF and I also have Adblock Plus...
I think I'll just pass then as the protections keep my blood pressure down and I like that...
Thank you for the information...

The print function has a setting where you can tell it to print in black and white. Select this and the text will print in black.A lot of the 'print' functions for these recipes print in a manner I do not wish. I copy and paste into Word and format from there, save to my recipe file.
BUT... this is only for recipes that I want to keep. Certainly not for all the recipes I read. It is the reading to figure out if I even want to keep the recipe in the first place that the frustrations occur.
The few that format their printed recipe in a manner acceptable to me are almost always one that are in pale print, which I cannot change in the print function. The others do not include the picture of the dish, which is pretty mandatory for me. (I tell people I'm from Missouri - "Show Me") (LOL - and not too many people get it)

While reading, if you highlight the text with your mouse, it will be more readable.
+2 Yes I do this also.The print function has a setting where you can tell it to print in black and white. Select this and the text will print in black.

Hi, just wondering if I am doing everything right. I know I don't post pictures with my recipes, but is everything else ok?
