I have a food blog which features recipes in almost every post. I would like readers to be able to print only the recipes (rather than having to print the whole post). Is this possible? Is there a widget for this? Right now the recipes are designated by being placed within a thin blue border.

Thanks for any help!!

You can use printfriendly upload a pdf copy of the recipe text as a Scribd embed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/

You can use the Twenty Ten theme. It has Beautiful in Print - Everyone has experienced unpleasant surprises when trying to print an article from a web site. Twenty Ten includes special styles for printing, so you’ll get printed copies that are just as easy to read as the original.

Anyway, I'm looking to Self Publish a Short Book of Poems, and wanted to know peoples Experience Using LuLu? As I'm considering using it in the Future... At the moment, I'm merely having them Printed from a Different Company, whose main focus is Printing Comic Books.

I'm also Considering Publishing them at Smashwords, as an ebook

Any Comments, Experiences, Suggestions that anyone might have about LuLu, Smashwords or any other Self Publishing Company, I would definitely Appreciate.

Thanks for your Time

DarkJade-

Thankyou, though, for looking into it and for all the other ideas :-))

I mean I have resolved the issue in that I have uploaded a pdf file and linked it so that it opens at the proper size in a separate window. It does mean saving and uploading another image, but it does the job as I wanted it.

Would be interesting to know how this blogger got it to work.

div.noprint {
display: none !important;
}

and then the wrap what they don't want to print in a div like this:

<div class="noprint">
The stuff they do not want to print here
</div>

That is all I see and I'm a little confused as to why it works. From looking at it, I would thing anything within that div would be hidden from view on the web page.

Now if I could so the same, that would be the bees knees!

http://bissim.com/ She even has a note in the sidebar that says "How do you print a recipe here?! Easy enough. Just click on the desired post title and then print. The only thing that will be printed is the recipe!"

Timethief, the entire reason I have posted is because some of my readers have asked me about this option, so its only right that I look into it and see what all the relevant choices are. Another friend of mine who has a blog has come up with the exact same issue. She had several posters ask about her recipe prints (she was also doing it as an image), so perhaps some people are still not as clued up.

1tess, you have a very valid point about the search engines. And I really like your idea with the extra page. Ummm, I have to admit, I did not know about the extra page...sheesh...see timethief, I myself, am not clued up!!!!

So I will try all your suggestions and go for what I feel works best.

Thanks very much 1tess, I really appreciate your input.
