To make more starter, Sharon, simply feed it a greater quantity of flour and water when you're feeding it just prior to using. Here's what the blog post says: "For the final feeding [feeding just prior to using in a recipe], make sure you add enough flour and water to use in your recipe, with a little left over to feed and maintain the starter for the next time you bake. For instance, if your recipe calls for 1 cup (about 8 ounces) starter, add 4 ounces each water and flour. If your recipe calls for 2 cups (about 16 ounces) starter, add 8 ounces each water and flour. Once the starter is bubbling and vigorous, remove what you’ll need for the recipe [e.g., 2 cups] and set it aside. Feed the remaining starter with 4 ounces flour and 4 ounces water. Mix until smooth, and allow the starter to work for about 2 hours at room temperature before putting it back in the refrigerator." Hope this helps - PJH
