TOO MANY USELESS PICTURES. PLEASE put away the digital camera and stop posting so many pictures with your recipes! Did we really need two shots of the dry ingredients, with and without the cranberries? How did that help anyone???!! Less is more; what words don't adequately communicate can be illustrated with a picture. Get over the thrill of posting as many pictures as you feel like just because you can and START EDITING YOURSELF! The words tell us what to do. The pictures should illustrate Hi Jojo - Anecdotal evidence shows that we have a lot of beginning bakers reading these recipes; and I've heard from many that they appreciate the pictures. My goal is to enable EVERY reader to have as successful an experience as possible, thus the "overabundance" of pictures. Yeah, admittedly, I do err on the side of over-illustration at times. But you know what? If you don't want to see the pictures, simply link to the recipe from the end of the blog, and all you'll see is a picture of the finished product. You can click on a printable version there, too, which usually confines the recipe to a single page, perhaps 2 pages at the most. That sounds like it would be more to your liking. So, we have options for those who don't want pictures, and those who do - I think that's the best of both worlds. Thanks for adding your thoughts here - PJH
