One of the things about web sites is that you're not really sure if people like the info you're providing or not. Blogs are great for that, because blogs allow comments. People can leave a comment to say if they like what you said, hate it, or whatever.
When my wife and I started our recipe web site, Healthy Recipes For Your Family, one of the things that we wanted was to allow comments. But standard web sites don't allow comments. We could have used Wordpress to build the site and use Wordrpess' built in commenting feature, but I wanted to give Site Built It a try with the web site.
I'm glad I did, because SBI provides a great infrastructure for getting people to your page. Without doing much extra at all, our recipe site ranks well in search engines so that we're getting people visiting the site.
But SBI doesn't provide for comments on web pages. Enter Disqus, a free service that allows visitors to put comments on your web pages. It's a pretty full featured service, and works well. You can see a sample of a comment on our vegetable lasagna recipe. And it's comments like that that make the whole chore of putting up a web site worth the while.
So if you have a straight web site that doesn't allow comments, take a look at Disqus.

New Healthy Recipes Website!
Lisa and I started a new website as a place to feature our collection of homemade healthy recipes.
The site's still being added to weekly, but there's enough there that you can get a feel for how the site will be laid out and how it'll all work.
The focus is on the recipes that Lisa has created over the years that we've changed our eating habits from the traditional American diet into something healthier. Everything has been taste tested by us many times.
Some of the highlights our vegetable lasagna recipe, which is always a hit, and Lisa's banana muffins recipe. We've also got an applesauce cake recipe that Amelia loves...that's her chosen birthday cake.
The page on natural organic food has links to the substitutions Lisa usually makes in recipes to make them healthier. She's always creating more substitutions as she experiments, but the page lists the most common ones.
Oh, and I can't forget to mention the banana smoothie recipe. That's Amelia's favorite summer treat, and is healthy enough we don't mind her having it every day.
Enjoy what's on the site now, and check back later since we're always adding something new.
