Thank you for the input.
Great idea of having the chefs hat in the logo. I like that.
I dont know alot about adsense but that is how we are planning on making money from it. I was planning on running a sidebar style ad, so basically there would be a naviagation sidebar on one side and the ads on the other, with content in the middle.
I totally agree that the photos will be well worth the effort. Although we are still trying to decide if we want photos of everything.
Updates are absolutly vital to any website in my opinion. We are planning on daily updates, something like one meal a day(so 1 entree, 1 soup, 1 desert etc..), which we will run through rss feeds as well as opt in email newsletters. We are also thinking about a daily cooking advice section. People could ask cooking question through a form and the best questions would be answered and posted.
Once again thank you for the input it is always highly appreciated.
