Ron Estes said he wanted to open a web site about food recipes simply because he loves food.<\/p>\n
His web site, recipevote.com, launched in July of 2010 and currently has about 100 users. The site is entirely free and anyone can sign up.<\/p>\n
Users can post recipes and pictures of themselves and of their favorite dishes, according to Estes, who designed the web site himself. Users can also vote on a recipe, grading it \u201cgood, great or awesome\u201d and can post comments on recipes, according to Estes. Profanity is not allowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s social networking for food,\u201d Estes said. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to register too. I tried to make things as user-friendly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Estes said that people have always shared recipes, or even just ideas for recipes. He said he\u2019s found recipes over 30-years-old already on the web site. A lot of recipes are handed down in the family.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you tried this or tried that?\u201d Estes said. \u201cSharing is what people do.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also said he wants people to share information about buying food locally.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thought process is, \u2018think local, buy local,\u201d Estes said. \u201cYou know, \u2018there is a really cool place to buy here\u2019, that kind of thing. The site is part \u2018finding neat food\u2019 and \u2018part recipes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
That helps people because some \u201cmight not know where the best stuff is,\u201d according to Estes. Recipevote.com is not tied to any particular type of food, either, according to Estes.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny type of food can be posted,\u201d Estes said. \u201cYou could have the best fl ank steak or best rip recipe. Anything. I want people to post their recipes on recipevote.\u201d<\/p>\n
Estes said he wants to grow the web site nationally. Through only \u201cword of mouth\u201d, the web site is growing, according to Estes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to build a recipe-sharing community,” Estes said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
