Etiquette and Blogs

[Frozzie]

I was just wanting feedback on etiquette and blogs as I have just created a blog on my little cooking adventures mainly and the thermomix and its all very new and just starting off but wanted to ask about what the etiquette is mainly with translating recipes as I have an english version and want to create an equal french version.  When I make recipes from the forum or books i have just just put a link to here or wherever I got the recipe from but the problem lies in the translation as alot of people I know here cant understand english recipes so would it come down to asking each time a kind of authorisation to translate that recipe even though most recipes are a conversion from books, sites or non thx recipes??? but still reference with a link to here for example??

would appreciate any input, advice etc as I dont want to offend anyone and its just a way for me to put all my fav recipes and photos etc in the one place and share it with all I know..

I already have friends abroad asking if the thermomix is worth it and quite interested and have been directing them to this forum also to give an idea of what can  be done..

anyway any thoughts would be appreciated!!

Nice to see your blog up and running Frozzie, will pop in from time to time and check out what you've been cooking.  Love the photos.  Sorry I can't answer your question re the French blog you want to set up, I'm sure someone will know though.

I love the blog Frozzie. Well done. Sorry I can't help with the etiquette either. I don't know how to even become a follower!!!

People have put their recipes here freely and as long as you acknowledge the person in the recipe when you translate it and post it, I'm sure it will be fine. Though, the nicknames we use may not translate, so you'd have to use the English words!

i may have to redo the blog as for some reason on my page its all in english but for you guys it seems to be in french??? or the headings etc..will have to look into fixing that

thanks for hte replies I just dont want to offend or upset anyone

thanks mj thats what I thought too and the nicknames would remain the same as like a name they dont really translate and it wouldnt be their real one

I think most bloggers (like me) wouldn't mind you using recipes from their blogs as long as you ask permission first, then always link to the original recipe on the blog it came from

Frozzie, your blog looks great.  Very well set out - so many have stuff plastered all over the page and you don't know where to look. I really enjoyed reading yours. Will continue to check in on a regular basis.

thanks jo and will do..and how do you go about recipes you convert from other non thx recipes do you note where you got it from or not?? or consider it a new recipe as its  been converted for the THX??

[Frozzie]

I would always say where it came from. Ie converted from a womens weekly recipe called blah blah

[Frozzie]

ok ..for the many of you who have blogs on blogger or blogspot or whatever its called..can you edit already posted text??  I just wanted to add that the recipe for the fritters was converted from a WW recipe in part..??

Your blog is in English for me Frozzie

[Frozzie]

ouff good ..thanks JD..was thinking that maybe it was coming up with some french as my 'control panel' is in french but for me the blog is all in english..most of the times its a default ie language to the country you are in..its all good though.

just figured out how to edit so added the reference to the book(s) I converted it from..
