Veggie food/recipe websites with an RSS feed

I'm looking for daily/weekly inspiration for vegetarian meals to cook, aimed at any level of cook. I am getting deeply bored of seeing endless variations of burritos, burrito bowls, buddha bowls, $randoPulse salad etc. [more inside]

where are my blog posts in my file server?

This year, I finally bit the bullet and committed to having my own website again, and this time I'm paying for my own hosting. My skill level however is 'late-90s-college-kid-building-stuff-on-Dreamweaver-and-uploading-via-FTP'. As part of the hosting package, I get a Weebly website builder. But I also have access to my own CPanel, with all the facilities (FTP server, file manager etc). But I can't seem to find the blog posts I've made in the file directory (and I've asked the IT hotline, whose answer is 'we don't host it'. Which makes no sense to me). Googling around found some partial answer with downloading the blog posts, which depends on the using the RSS feed, and what I get is only the .json file for the first page of entries. Is there some way to generate static/html pages instead? Am I looking at a future of manually scheduling backups?

I would like some new blogs about food, clothes and the past

I like to read blogs. I like to sit down and just....read them, borne back ceaselessly into the past by the previous posts button. Because we are living in a nightmarish dystopia, I cannot read about anything challenging. I would like blogs about food, clothes and the past, with certain restrictions. [more inside]

Putting snippets of web pages into blogger, the easy way

So there used to be a simple bookmarklet for Blogger. You could highlight text on a web page, hit the bookmarklet, and the linked text would show up in a fresh blog entry. I realize I am the last person on earth using Blogger, but is there still a way to easily put content into blogger in this manner? Or am I asking the wrong question?

Professional blog writing & how not to vomit out borrowed ideas?

How can I write blog posts about a business topic (leadership) using popular business publications without just recycling their ideas? I just picked up some contract work to do leadership research and write up blog posts for a coaching and leadership development company. I've never done this before and want to be creative and original but will be relying on things already written. I'm to: write summary of content based on research findings – referencing original content – for our website, blog and social media postings? [more inside]

Instapot Blogs

We got an Instapot for Christmas. I used it last night to make tomato soup. It was delicious. I get most of my recipes from blogs. I'm looking for Instapot specific blogs. No dietary restrictions. Savory and sweet both interest me. Thanks!

Rec me some good RSS feeds

I'm looking for RSS feeds to read on long train rides to and from work - so the most important aspect is that they load full articles, not snippets.

Teenage vegan baking/crafting blogger from 10-15 years ago?

10 or 15 years ago, I recall reading the blog of a younger woman who baked vegan desserts and sewed/crocheted/knitted cute little anthropomorphic critters, whom she'd photograph in sociable little groupings. I recall her having a somewhat gothy personal aesthetic, and I think she had published a book or two. Who am I thinking of?

Communities of personal bloggers in 2019, is that a thing

I want to find an active community of personal blogs. I want it to be writing-based, non-commerce-oriented, have privacy protections, and be in a format which encourages conversation and relationship between people. Basically I want Livejournal from 2006. Instagram and Tumblr are not wordy or conversational enough. Twitter is too impersonal. Facebook is too terrible. Is there a place that I am missing? (Plus related question: where are the random standout personal writers on IG, FB and so forth?) [more inside]

What was that 'fake letters to companies' blog from the early 2000s?

Back in the early 2000s (think early Metafilter days!), there was a blog/site, back when there were only like a few thousand blogs, that featured fake/darkly-comic/OTT letters to companies. Of particular note, one such letter invited a company to help the writer commit suicide in a mysterious manner... [more inside]

Where is the Metafilter of food blogs?

I used to love reading food blogs, but all my favorites have disappeared, turned into more of a storefront for the author's book(s), or become full of recycled affiliate-linked content. I miss being able to spend a large chunk of time consuming new food writing content a few days a week. Where can I find original-content-rich, regularly-updating websites focused on food-related writing? Can be a single author or many. Any food topic. Some ads are OK (we all gotta eat), but if it's 50% or more of the content, no-go.

What blog was/is this?

I am trying to remember a blog I used to read several years ago. The author was british and I think wrote mostly about politics and/or legal topics and had an extensive interview series with other bloggers. However, the main detail I remember was that in addition to all the above there was a series of posts which reviewed dozens and dozens of bar soaps. Apart from that series it was in no way a beauty blog. (Which is all I get googling). Help me internet hive mind. Who was this bar soap reviewing blogger?

Seeking URL: LotR, child mortality, and post-apoc fiction

The article began with a quote from LotR movies: "A parent should never have to bury their own child." It pointed out that this wasn't in the books because, at time of writing, this was almost a nonsense statement: you could agree it was tragic, but it happened to everyone. It then went into child mortality rates and how those would shape the structure of society in a post-apoc world, especially one with fantastic elements like magical healing or superpowers.

Sites like The Quietus, but for visual art and poetry

Thanks to this recent post on the Blue about Ryuichi Sakamoto, I have just become aware of The Quietus, which is opening my ears to a lot of great new music. Can you recommend sites with a similar sensibility that are focused on poetry or the visual arts rather than music? Sites in English, French, German or Spanish all welcome.

Criminal law for the laygirl

I am searching for the best online writing (blogs and columns) regarding criminal law that it not geared towards professionals. I've always been a true crime aficionado, but lately, upon listening to season 2 of the podcast Breakdown (which I couldn't recommend enough), I realized I am in fact much more interested in the actual legal writing side of thing rather than the often too typical sensationalist generic writing that falls under the definition of "true crime" (does that make sense?).

My Deepest Voice Says I'm Unworthy, Untalented, and Not Enough

I feel unworthy, and part of me has grown to hate and hide from the world because I feel as if everyone holds me unworthy.
