[edit] How to get started:

To add a new listing:

Click on "Add a listing", under "listings" on the sidebar to the left, and follow the instructions on that page.

To edit an existing listing:

Click on "All current listings", under "listings" on the sidebar to the left, go to the listing you'd like to edit, click on the "edit with form" tab above, and make the changes you want.

And then...

Once you've made the additions or changes you want to make, all you have to do is click on "Save page" at the bottom of the form, and it will be entered onto the site. You can see a preview of your changes first, though, by clicking "Show preview" and then saving once it looks good to you.

[edit] Some tips:

Most items in the form will be relatively straightforward, but here are some that could use additional explanation:

Comments:

Since there are so many online reviews out there, there's no need to write up detailed reviews in this section. Just say a few words telling us why your entry deserves to be on our list, and then let the online reviews you've provided in the Links section provide support. Also, any insider advice you might have - what to get, where to sit, etc. - is more than welcome!

Links:

We'd like to highlight the most informative online reviews out there for each of the listings. Even better if they're well-written! To post reviews you like, simply copy their URLs (each separated by comma and a hard return) into the "Links" field.

Mapping a listing:

The Map section of the Good Eats form requires coordinates, as in latitude and longitude, in order to work, but don't worry, the program can look them up. All you need to do is:

1. Insert the address and city of the listing in the text field that appears below the map, and

2. Click on "Look up coordinates".

Google Maps will provide the coordinates automatically, allowing it to pin the spot on the map (assuming Google Maps can locate the address as you've entered it).
