A Few Logistics (Post Labels and Comment Notification)

Here are a couple things I've learned from my other multi-contributor blog:

Labels are probably going to be the best way to organize the blog in such a way that it becomes a good resource for the future. You label a post before you publish it at the bottom of the window by typing where it says 'labels for this post'. As long as we pay attention to each other's labels and try not to be redundant, it should work well. So, if you post a menu, label it 'Menus'. If you post something like this about layout or logistics or whatever, label it 'Logistics'. Other than that, the recipes should have multiple labels like chicken/vegetarian/beef/etc., level of difficulty, time needed, or anything else you think is pertinent.

The other thing I found is that it's difficult to keep track of all the comments when people are not only commenting on the most recent entry. If you want to be notified by email when someone comments somewhere on this blog, you'll need to add your email address next to mine under 'comment notification'. You get there by clicking on the Settings tab and then Comments, and it's at the bottom of that screen.

Do you guys have any other ideas?
