Below is a screenshot showing how to sort by Labels. If you move your mouse toward the right side of your screen, some tabs will pop out (note that if you are on a Government computer, in which all useful add-ins have been stripped, this functionality may not be there). If you select the label tag (red arrow on the right) then you'll see a list of all the key words. You can then narrow your search by clicking on your choice. The example shown below is "family run." You can do a similar sort by clicking the "label" tab on near the upper left of the screen.
If you'd like to change the format of the blog, click the down arrow next to "Flipcard" and other viewing choices will be displayed.
At the bottom of each entry, you can submit a comment after jumping through some hoops.
Another useful feature on the right side is the translate tool, which is the second tab above the label tab. Two of my favorites are Swahili and Igbo (which I learned has only 8 adjectives - if only Japanese was so simple).
Of course the map is one of the most important links. It is located along the top. The "new YFC map" should be your first stop. The old map is still there but its contents are in transition to the new map. Some have told me that the new map may not work very well on a government computer. The only solution to that is to not use a government computer.
Photos: Some photos are provided by friends eating with me, but most are taken by myself or my daughter using either an iPhone 4s or Sony NEX-5R.
