NO I DO NOT WANT TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR NEWSLETTER, BLOGGER WITH A RECIPE I NO LONGER WANT

Agreed. So many websites want you to sign up for their newsletter before you've even read the first line of text.

Also: THIS SITE IS BETTER IN THE APP! Every time you open the site.

If I wanted to use the app, I'd have it installed by now.
