- The About.Legal Page contains the User License, Privacy Policy, and Terms of use that you agree to as a user of Doette.
Under the covers they are almost the same thing, and look similar when displayed. The intent is different. A New Post is immediately published and does not have any formatting tools available when editing. It is meant as a quick post of what you are cooking, or a question, or showing off a new piece of cooking gear, or picture of the family at dinner, etc. You can easily include multiple pictures in the post and even reference a previous post or recipe. A New Recipe is really meant for a longer and more structured recipe. It starts out in Draft mode that only you can see, so you can work on it over time and publish it when you are ready. A wysiwyg editor allows you to add rich formatting to the recipe. You can also add as many images as you want, but one at a time. You can also add tags to help reader easily see important attributes about the recipe.
Yes, a title is required.
Yes, as often as you like just by selecting the title in the My Recipes page.
Yes, as often as you like just by selecting the title in the My Recipes page. It is good practice to note any alterations/updates you make to a recipe after it has been published.
Yes, as often as you like just by selecting the title in the My Recipes page.
In the My Recipes edit view all changes are immediately saved, there is no need to push a save button. The only exception is that there is a button to add images.
You can edit but you cannot delete a Post or Published Recipe. You can delete a Recipe Draft before you publish it - you do this by selecting the Draft in My Recipes and then selecting Delete Draft from the tripple dots in the upper right.
It's just another name for the signed-in home page view. You can also get to this view by clicking on the Doette logo in the upper left of the desktop platform toolbar.
Yes. There is no specific mobile app to download. Just visit the site on your mobile app browser. The view will automatically change to be more appropriate for a mobile device. At this time the best experience is still on a laptop or PC.
Only signed up members of Doette can see a post or recipe. When you create the post or publish the recipe you assign it a "visibility" and this determines who within Doette can see it. If the visibility is set to "Anyone" then any signed up member of Doette can see it. If the visbility is set to "My Followers" then only your specific followers can see the post or recipe. Consequently, you can only see the posts or recipes that are marked "My Followers" if you are an accepted follower of that person. The default setting for visibility is "Anyone" and Doette encourages all members to share recipes with other Doette members.
When a recipe is first created in "My Recipes" it is created in "Draft" status and remains in that status until explicitly published by the author. In Draft status only the author can view the recipe draft and it may remain in that state as long as the author wishes. Once published a recipe cannot be returned to Draft status but it can still be edited in My Recipes even after publishing.
Following allows a subset of Doette members to see your posts and recipes that have the visibility set to "My Followers". You (the author) automatically see all of your own posts and recipes regardless of the setting (in other words, you don't need to follow yourself). You can follow a person in two ways (1) If you see a post from someone and click on their name you will go to their "Author" page which shows you all of their posts. The Stats panel in the upper left of the Author page will contain a button that allows you to request to follow that Author. They will later see your request in their "My Follows" page and can accept your request or not. (2) Alternatively, if you know the email address of a member in Doette you can "Request by Email" on the My Follows page.
When you click on "New Post" from the home page a dialog box will pop up. There is a large green panel labeled "Select Images" If you click on this panel you will be allowed to upload to 3 images from your PC/Laptop, or to add them from your photo library on a mobile device (or even take new photos). On a laptop or PC it is easiest to export the image first from your camera or phone onto that laptop. On a mobile device it is easiest to select them directly from the photo library.
When you go to My Recipes and click on New Recipe, or if you click on the title of an existing Recipe in the list you will be put in the editing view for that recipe of draft. In the upper right corner of the editing view there is a round green button with a photo icon on it. If you click that button you will be prompted to add a photo. You can add as many photos as you want, one at a time.
Go to the Profile page and click on the round edit icon at the top right. A dialog box will pop up that will allow you to add and crop an image.
- The mobile experience has a bottom navbar instead of a top toolbar.
- The mobile navbar does not allow access to the Sign Out option, although you can still Sign Out by using the button in the Profile page.
- The Recipe Draft Edit view has a reduced number of editing features.
- Most mobile devices will allow you to take a picture directly with the device camera or add a photo from the device photo library in any place where an image can be uploaded.
Yes, when you edit the body of a Quick Post or a Comment you can click on the Person icon or you can just type '@' - a popup will show all users following you and you are following. When you click on a name it will insert a reference to that person in the text body. Once you publish it will send them mail that you mentioned them. If you type additional characters into the search box it will filter the names and a space will clear it.
