IMO the pdf is something a reader could choose to save, but a casual or random reader of your blog would just want to see it without clicking around. Still my opinion, but what is wrong with including the recipes (specific information) in your posts? More information=SEO for you…

Imagine cutting out the .pdf preview!
In Chrome and in I.E. there's no problem.
I believe I'll have a bit of a brief whinge about Firefox ...
Thanks, 1tess!

But my link opens the recipe as a .pdf, and you choose to download it or not to!
Are you telling me that that's NOT what happens when you click on the photograph? - I'd really really like to know, please, 1tess: because on my own browser it works just fine.

to publish code here use the "code" button above the comment box (highlight to select—>code button) or put code between backticks (on the same key as ~ tilde next to 1 ! key top left— ` code backtick)

But it's a copy paste matter so not a lot of work. Keep in mind, it is only my opinion. I hate hate hate finding a link that downloads something to my computer before I can see what the heck it is. Better to post the recipe (SEO for you) then add the pdf download as a bonus if folks want it. Again, I'm only a volunteer and this is my personal opinion. Sorry if I confused you.

But I believe I'll leave this whole topic alone, and wait till the blog is ... erhmm ... old enough - with luck, never as old as its author - for a whole raft of things to be changed.
Then again, what am I saying? - I'll be moving it to one of my own domains, ere long.

i'm not sure if things are the same then in posts but you could type

click here to comment text

at the bottom of every post.

hopefully this erases my previous mistake, and thank you for the info

Isn't that exactly what I've done? - written a bit about it, and provided it as a .pdf for download?

I'm sorry, but your advise does not apply here.
You say:

the advanced excerpt plugin

which we on WordPress.COM cannot use. It seems you have a self-hosted wp.ORG site. You are giving advice we here cannot use.

Did you know there are different kinds of wordpress? Please read about the very significant differences:

One tip, if you don't mind,

is that when you write a recipe post you should describe it (ingredients, cooking techniques) then tell readers that the recipe is available on your blog as a download pdf.

Me: I'd rather not download a recipe unless I really want to use it. IMO it would be better to post the recipes and then offer a pdf to download.

If you don't want more text on the posts with recipes, then consider directing readers to "page 2" where they could look at it then decide to download a pdf.

Here is how to do pagination:

And so ends my IMO opinion/advise…
happy blogging.

under settings i centered the text and dropped it down a paragraph
by typing <p><center> under elipses

then under read more you can make it say whatever you want

Or when your blog is older, you could put just your favs at the end of posts. Not automatic, but do-able.

Why am I not surprised ...? :-\

But you'll see that won't really matter as you blog longer…
