When I upload a .jpg file the image does not display.

The Web does not support .jpg images in CMYK color format - the format must be RGB. If you uploaded a .jpg image file and see an "x" where the image should be placed, your image is most likely formatted as CMYK. In order to change the format you will have to make the change within your photo editor.

I get an error when uploading an image. What should I do?

If you get an error when uploading an image the first thing to do is verify that it is formatted correctly. Also check the file name. File names can only contain letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens. Other characters are not permitted. If you are using a Macintosh make sure that the extension is turned on.

What formats can be used for the recipe photos?

Recipe photos must be in .jpg or .gif format.

Is a subscriber able to unsubscribe themselves from the Recipe Club?

Yes. When a recipe is sent, they will want to click on the "Unsubscribe" link which will identify them as no longer being a subscriber and will no longer receive Recipe Club emails.

Can I use HTML from the Administration, area to help display content in any recipe fields?

Yes. Within the "Description," "Chef Bio," "Restaurant Location," "Footnote" and "Nutrition Notes" fields you can use properly formatted HTML.
