100 Recipes and Growing
Submitted by kandace on January 17, 2007 - 11:18am
We've just reached 100 recipes! Thanks to everyone who has shared their recipes with us. Do keep them coming!
Our goal for Gone Raw is to have such a variety of recipes that eating raw is fun, exciting and easy! This month, we are concentrating on adding basic recipes for people just getting into raw foods. What raw food helped you along in your first months? Do share!
Sorry About Today
Submitted by ezadmin on January 16, 2007 - 9:04pm
*I'm sorry about today, I really am.*
First, our web host was having trouble. Gone Raw got really slow as the day wore on, until I finally contacted our service provider. We got it straightened out, and we were back to our snappy selves again.
Then, something I put into the Gone Raw code, to help me troubleshoot... well, it kinda blew up. So the site has been broken for the last half hour or so. Needless to say, I got rid of that troubleshooting tool, since it has proven to be more trouble than it's worth.
Sorry about that. But don't worry, we're all better now!!
Badges!

As a belated New Years treat, we've added something called "badges" to Gone Raw. What are badges, you ask? They're little graphics you can put on your own website, to show that you are into raw foods! Here's an example:
That's one of four. How do you get one? Go to your profile page, and click on "Gone Raw Remote" on the right side. There you'll find instructions for not only adding a badge to your website, but also for adding lists of recipes - yours, or everyone's.
This is just the first of many things we plan to add to Gone Raw over the coming year. So stick around!
Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to all of you from Ray and Kandace here at Gone Raw. We appreciate the wonderful community and support we've found here among all of you!
Many have told us that the holidays are some of the most difficult times for raw folks. We have a number of "holiday":http://goneraw.com/recipes/list/holiday and "party recipes":http://goneraw.com/recipes/list/party as well "quick":http://goneraw.com/recipes/list/quick snacks and easy "travel recipes":http://goneraw.com/recipes/list/travel for packing along on visits with family.
Sorry About That!

*Oops!*
Gone Raw was down for about a half hour this evening, from about 5 to 5:30 PM. We were making a few changes, and something... er... unexpected happened.
We're still not sure what kind of weirdness caused this in the first place, but we'll be looking into it, and won't make any more changes until we've figured out how to keep it from happening again.
News and Updates
Submitted by ezadmin on December 5, 2006 - 1:32pm
It's been really great to see Gone Raw grow as it has been the past few weeks. We passed our 100th membership milestone last week, and kept on going. The brand new "forums":http://goneraw.com/forums have almost 50 posts, but we're hoping a lot more discussions start up there. And, we've been working on some features behind the scenes, mostly to make it easier for you to share your recipes.
We also sent out our "first newsletter":http://goneraw.com/emails/GoneRaw-12-01-06.html to all members and anyone else interested. We hope to keep up that tradition, highlighting great recipes and new features every month.
"Let us know":http://goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/1 what you think of the new forums, and if there's anything else you'd like to see at Gone Raw.
Forums!
Submitted by ezadmin on November 24, 2006 - 5:49pm
Slowly but surely, we're working on some features we've really wanted to see. Yesterday, we fixed a few nagging problems folks were having, and we added "discussion forums":http://goneraw.com/forums to the site. It's a new place to talk about your favorite raw food recipes, techniques, and ideas.
It's also a great place to let us know where you'd like to see Gone Raw headed. Got an idea for a great feature? Something driving you crazy? "Let us know.":http://goneraw.com/forums/5 So long as you're "logged in," you can join or start a discussion at any time.
Raw Thanksgiving
Submitted by kandace on November 18, 2006 - 4:59pm
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and we're busy planning our first raw Thanksgiving here at Gone Raw. We have a number of "raw Thanksgiving recipes":http://goneraw.com/recipes/list/thanksgiving up and we're on the lookout for more ideas. So, I spent today at the Oregon Culinary Institute learning a complete raw Thanksgiving menu. Chef "Bruce Horowitz":http://www.thesunkitchen.com/ inspired me to believe that you can make a raw version of just about anything you could think of! For beginners, take a look at his "Parsnip-Pine Nut Whip (or Better than Mashed Potatoes)":http://goneraw.com/recipes/show/66 and "Orange-Chipotle Cranberry Relish":http://goneraw.com/recipes/show/67. Absolutely delicious.
Some Small New Features
Submitted by ezadmin on November 11, 2006 - 12:26am
We've added a few small features to Gone Raw tonight. First, you can comment on the blog posts! There's a link on the home page and in the list of all the blog posts. We're hoping to get more feedback and discussion going around the site. What would you like to see us change or improve? Has Gone Raw helped you at all?
Also, there's a couple shortcut links on the home page, if you're logged in. You'll see them in the upper left part, where the website overview / description is otherwise.
We hope you find these little changes helpful, and hope to add a few new features every week.
First Mentions
Submitted by ezadmin on November 8, 2006 - 10:45am
We've been up and running just about a week now, and it seems that folks are starting to take notice. "The Oregon Live Tech Blog":http://www.oregonlive.com/weblogs/techblog/ mentioned us yesterday, "...from the same design team which brought us Cuppin'." Emily Chang yesterday also linked to us in "eHub":http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub. We got some press!
On a personal note, it's been nice to see people in several raw food forums say nice things about us, and the emails people have been writing are very kind and encouraging. We've learned a lot from the feedback we've been getting - thanks for that. We're working on adding a forum to Gone Raw, to make it easier to talk about your questions or make feature suggestions, but for now, you can just write "rbrigleb@gmail.com":mailto:rbrigleb@gmail.com with your comments or questions.
Finally, thanks to local Portland web innovators "Adam":http://www.adamduvander.com/simple/gone-raw-lately and "Ryan":http://www.webthingsconsidered.com/2006/11/03/more-portland-sites/, for cheering on our latest efforts.
