What is the best way to get the word out about the website? I have had mine for a year and only one order from it. I put it on my catalogs, business cards, etc. and mention it at my shows, but no success with it. I am wondering if it is worth the money for it and now the cost is going up. Any suggestions?

Get your hosts to use it. Do internet only sales for all your customers. Make sure every single correspondence you have with a customer/host includes a link ot the website. Put the recipe up the day AFTER you do a show and tell people that if they want it they need to go to your website & that they should remember to bookmark it.
