New Features and Updates with Redesign
I just wanted to let you all know about a few key changes to my site that happened with the redesign at the end of last year.
ZipList – If you read other food blogs, I’m sure you know about ZipList. Now, when I have posted a recipe with a post, you will see a Save button next to the print button. By simply signing up for a ZipList account, you can save recipes from my blog, along with any other blog that has this feature. Then you can go to the Recipe Box page (up at the top) to see all of your saved recipes and make grocery lists. So be sure to check it out.
Mobile Users – I made the leap from Blogger to WordPress. While on blogger, I had enabled the web version of my blog. WordPress does not have that option. If you are getting a 404 Error on your mobile device, try navigating to www.beantownbaker.com directly – without the “/m” – which may be how your mobile device has saved the URL.
RSS Feeds – Everyone should still be getting posts in their feed. If you are having issues, be sure to check the URL in your reader. You should be using http://www.beantownbaker.com/feed to ensure that you get all the updates in a timely fashion.
Print Button – All of my recipes now have a Print button! (Ok, there are still a few that I haven’t gotten to reformatting yet, but most of my posts have a print button). Be sure to check out the purple ribbon just to the right of the recipe title.








I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Welcome back! Glad to hear that things are going so well for you, and even happier to hear that you should be posting some new stuff soon. Also, good for you for taking the time you need. We women don’t say “no” enough and often we end up suffering because of that.

Thanks! It’s good to be back.
Sounds like these past few months have been filled with lots of great things! Good for you for taking time off. I completely understand; I’ve been MIA from blogging for awhile due to a move. How I’ve missed it! I’m hoping to get a post up soon and was planning to post pics of what I’ve been up to lately, too. Looking forward to more posts from you, Jen!

Thanks! Sometimes life just really gets in the way of our little hobbies, huh?
So excited to see you back in action! I can appreciate the honesty around working on your relationship – my husband & I are coming up on 12 years together ourselves (married for almost 6), and I agree that things can get pretty tough! We did a few months of counseling to see if we could work through things, & while we still have some work ahead, we’re doing a lot better now. So glad that whatever you guys have done, it’s been helpful!
Can’t wait to try the Food Lab cookies. 🙂
