Whether you’re a food blogger or just a foodie, you can help your followers discover and save your recipes by adding them to Springpad.

And with only a few extra steps, your recipes will be more useful for everyone! Adding Cuisine & Course, Tags, and Photos & Videos only takes a few moments, but will make a big difference to your followers.

Cuisine, Course & Main Ingredient
Completing these fields helps categorize your recipe so that it appears in relevant search results.
Tags
Adding tags also increases the likelihood that your recipe will turn up in search results – think about how your recipes fit into various categories and add those as tags.
Photos & Videos
A picture is worth a thousand words, so help others visualize the end result by adding a few photos of your delicious dish. And if you’ve got a related video tutorial, be sure to add it! (Here’s How)
Notes, Links & Cook Times
Add other details to be helpful! Notes can be your inspiration for the recipe, where you discovered it, why you created it or any interesting details you want to include.

    I feel a little dumb, but how do I add a note to my recipe? I want to make notes about different variations I use every time I make a particular recipe.

      Hey Zach – No problem!
      On the web, select your recipe, then click on Notes & Media (add) – you can add a note there
      On the iPhone app, select the recipe, scroll down, then tap on “Add a Note”
      On the Android app, select the recipe, hit Menu on your phone, then tap Attach, then Add Note

    Oh brilliant! I just got an Android phone so I really appreciate the instructions. Only a few days with Springpad and I’m not sure I’d be able to live without it now!
