Each time Mercury retrogrades I can always notice it. Communications are difficult, things get lost in the mail, etc... I am happy that were are out of it for things to roll again. Thank you for sharing all those links; very good stuff.

DanielleXO,

I am just dying to know; WILL ETSY ever give us subcategories?
Because I and perhaps others are sort of busting at the seams
category wise.

Can you ever maybe do a post on this perhaps?
Can we put in a request for it?

[Former_Member]

Thank you so much for all the great article finds......I poured over them and have made my to do list for the coming week!

Remember the Peterman character on Seinfield? How Eileen wrote product descriptions for the catalog? That's totally what the description articles made me think of! Thanks for the links.

This is really going to help me rewrite my product descriptions.
I didn't think mine were so bad but they don't have any personality.
Thanks
