I was looking at ChefBecky's site and noticed in her news section that there are recipes listed in a column on the right. But when I go to the news section on my PWS it doesn't have those. Is that one of the premium tools features? Just wondering if I'm being stupid and missing something or not.
 
She probably created that post herself. I haven't seen her site but you don't have to use the suggested articles from home office. You can create your own.

No, I know yo ucan create your own, but it's in a totally different format with collapsible menus. take a look at /cookinwithbecky
 
Elise, my website is set up the same way as Becky's. I have the recipes on the right..I did not put them there...so must have been the web designer. what is your website...would like to check it out.

Elise, I see the same recipes on your site as on Becky's.
 
Elise- what is your website? Mine also has the recipes...those are from PC - not something we added to the site. They started doing those when they changed the PWS Format awhile back.

That's so weird. For some reason when I go look at my website it doesn't show up! When you guys look at your own do they show up?
 
Yep, it's there on mine when I look and I see it on yours as well. Clearly I hadn't been to my website since they put that up! I like it.
 
Cool! I slacked and did not update my site till today (I try to do it the first of every month)
 
Ok...I must be doing something wrong too...because when I looked at Elise's site, I do NOT see the "Recipes" in the "NEWS" Section along the right column. I see the items on the LEFT side, but not the Right - which are the PC Recipes.
I see the Recipes on my site and Becky's, as well as everyone else's I've checked....that is wierd.
 
look near the bottom of the home page... it says news and recipes...

But when you actually click on that image or the "News" link, and go into the page, the Recipes aren't there. Just the two images/articles from PC and her News Links on the left side. On MY site and everyone elses, along the right side of the page, you get 8 recipes (some of them with photos), and then a link to the PC YouTube videos. I don't see these things on Elise's site.
 
Elise- I have an idea of what MIGHT be the problem...give me some time to troubleshoot. But I think it has to do with your coding for the Newsletter Signup. We saw this happen before. I'll try to find the fix and get it to you.
 
I found it. Several of us in the past (before the PWS was updated by PC) had a problem with the "Sign up for my Newsletter" link we created with iContact. When we added it to our News site as given, it truncated our PWS News Page, just like yours is doing! I think that is why the Recipes aren't showing up on the Right.Here is what I suggest you try, and what seemed to work for the rest of us when we encountered this problem before (the threads are posted below). When you go into your PWS managing page to update your articles, go to the Newsletter one and edit it. Add this paragraph to the beginning of the "Feature Description"...in front of the HTML Code. Sign up to receive emails about all of our great specials, as well as delicious recipes and great tips! I usually send two emails per month, unless something comes up that I just can't keep from sharing!

Then save it and Apply the change. Then recheck your News Page (be sure to refresh if need be). let us know if that works!(If you need it, Here are two of the threads:

YEAH!! I'm so glad. Just one of those weird things.....:)(By the way- I just realized I had a phrase "I just send out two emails a month" in there....so if that doesn't fit you, you can obviously change that paragraph to say WHATEVER you wanted. It wasn't what I said- just the fact that there were words of some sort at the beginning.)
