It's a long time between Blogs.
At the moment when I get bored with what I am doing, I will scan through old threads to find any sign of recipes in some threads, some are very long over 700 posts at times.
First, I make a list and then post to my list thread in the categories either by series or topic.

The search area does find them now and links, but it can be a pain to click on MORE over 40 times to get back to the thread you are looking at each time, after you have clicked on a thread. To save time I make these lists and post them to the forum then work from it. After I have sorted them into Categories or by year.
The Current one is on Menu Plans - I have spread them over 5 posts and slowly working my way down these lists. Menu - Menu Plan - Menu Planning
I am finding a lot of threads don't not have any recipes that could be used, as if you could walk into the kitchen find ingredients and make that recipe right now. Plenty of ideas for menu plans but not lot of recipes.
I found some with recipes which I am marking in the lists as I go as to where and which threads if that thread has a lot of recipes 5 or mores and I can add an index to it, it's listed in my index post, page 2 first post on that above thread. Later I will work on making index for it.
If you do read the post above for menu plans, check any notes that I have marked next to that link. Making notes is a great help to finding that thread when you have over 10 pages of links.
At the moment I have found 80 pages of recipes in WORD that's not counting any with index in them or to be made.
I hope that help you with my way of thinking and why I do it. It SAVES TIME in the end.
