This post is a little different than what you normally find here on Half Assed Kitchen. Consider it filed under Business. Things to mention before we can get back to eating.
HAK has started a Facebook page, which we're really excited about. See the box over there in the right sidebar. Yeah, under Categories. If you click on that it'll take you to our Facebook page. Where we're posting exclusive content, polls, and eventually contests and other cool stuff. Please Like us. It'd make us deliriously happy.
Or, you can follow this link. We already have about 1,200 participants who are carrying on scintillating conversation involving grilled artichokes and garlic butter. Lots and lots of mayonnaise and aioli may or may not be a topic as well.
Please join us. The more Likers we can get, the more awesomeness we can offer.
Hey, and even if you aren't a Facebooker or decide not to Like us (sob), thank you for coming to our blog. Stay tuned for Light(ish) Macaroni Salad!
That's it... food AND facebook! What could be better, eh?
Gonna go click now!

I'm an avid Facebook user, but I'm going to have to skip it and stick with your blog posts (and miss out on whatever conversation is going on over there) because it's already unwieldy.
You had asked "Sourdough, rye or whole wheat?" on 5/5, and while 11 people responded to the question directly, which kept the conversation logically ordered and grouped, over 50 people just posted random "RYE!" "None of the above!" etc messages on your wall, which basically translated to noise.
I'm game for dialog and engagement, but a Facebook wall is just overwhelming when there are 50+ posts just thrown on it with no context.
Really, I love your blog, and I love Facebook, and I tried to say that in a nice way, so I hope I didn't sound like a jerk.

Patrick,
I completely agree. And I'm looking into how to fix this. Thanks for your feedback. It means a lot.

Okay, I "liked" you (because I do). You need to "Like" me back. You have like 1400 fans. I think I have 20 :(. Ha! Maybe one day I'll catch up!
