I need to have a serious heart-to-heart with anyone who thinks food blogging is an "easy" or "useless" niche. I was helping a friend draft a recipe post yesterday, and we hit the absolute final boss of kitchen blogging:
You’ve spent over an hour perfectly formatting a 15-step masterpiece. You’ve double-checked the measurements, added the aesthetic photos, and numbered everything 1 to 15. Then, right as you're about to hit publish, you realize you forgot to tell the reader to "grease the baking tin" at the very beginning.
Above My mobile screenshot I turned into gif with help of Gif Maker Editor.
It sounds small, but if you add that as the new Step 1, every single other number in the entire post is now wrong. You have to manually go through and change 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5... and God help you if you lose track halfway through. It’s the kind of tedious work that makes you want to throw your laptop out the window. People think we just "post pretty food," but they don't see the hours of logical mapping and data entry that goes into making a recipe actually usable for a reader.
Honestly, thank god for AI like ChatGPT lately. Instead of spending 20 minutes manually re-typing numbers like a robot, I just copy-pasted the messy list, told the AI where the missing step went, and it re-formatted the entire sequence in literally two seconds. It’s a total lifesaver for that "blogger brain fog" we all get.
Being a creator in 2026 isn't about doing the "manual labor" of numbering lists; it’s about knowing which tools to use so we can get back to the actual fun part—the food!
Anyway, this is my very first post.
Please like, share, and comment if you've ever had a "numbering nightmare" too!
