How weird, it IS all salmon! :) The front page can have a bit of a theme if someone quickly copies in a lot of similar recipes, for example, if he/she is looking for the best salmon recipes from around the web. However, the front page is limited to three recipes from any given person's recipe box. The front page might also show several copies of the same recipe if that recipe suddenly becomes very popular. However, then the recipes would all be showing the exact same salmon recipe. But this is lots of different people copying in salmon recipes from lots of different websites! The world has gone bonkers for salmon.

The front page (Community page) looks different if you're logged in because it updates more often. Maybe I need to re-think the time frame because now the website is stuck on all salmon for two hours for non-logged in users (unless they do a search).

Maybe make the front page show a random subset of the top 10% most popular, or something?

I do need to look a lot more into the whole Community search aspect of Copy Me That. So many fun things that I want to do :)
