LOL...cg maybe you are around my age......

Rebecca

[tessjordandesigns]

Thanks Rebecca I'll keep browsing around :o)



hey did anyone read the 4-hour work week by Timothy Ferriss? I am fascinated.

[SilverBlueberry]

hungry. That's my punishment for going running.

[cgwhitfield]

I wil have to admit to a tiny wee bit of social enjoyment here. Living where I do means that you guys help keep me in touch with the outside world.

And since for me it's a good part of how I see the world, you all have a responsibility I'll bet you didn't realize.

[tessjordandesigns]

True cg... I don't do much socializing in the real world...

If there was NO way to socially interact on Etsy I would be really bummed.. Guess you have to take the bad with the good..

[bellabijoujewellery]

Morning everyone, just finished reading up all I missed from last night.

I have to work 4 hours of my shift with creepy dreadlock boy again today :-(

[Former_Member]

Good morning. Just caught up. I tend to be a go with the flow type person and since I have no control over the strangeness that is Etsy I have no choice but to just wait and see what happens.

In the meantime I am going to have to set up an alternative site for selling. I can drive my own traffic there, and let the Etsy thing do as it may. It is good to diversify anyway.

[Former_Member]

I forgot to add, sorry about creepy dreadlock boy... Four hours is a long time!

[Former_Member]

I do admit that I love the circles. I have found so many things I would never have searched for AND it makes treasury making easier. I also love the etsy taste test.

[Former_Member]

early days yet, but one thing I will say about the forum change:

I do feel more like I am in a room talking with self-moderating adults, rather than children in a romper room, with the adult supervisors chiming in, "OK kids play nice."

Never really liked that old feeling on the Etsy forums.

[JelliesArtExpression]

Can I impose to ask if anyone can get to the page I'm just trying to make?

http://www.jelliesjewelry.com

I'm feeling really "challenged" doing this but want to know if I at least got the addy working.

[tessjordandesigns]

it works for me!

are you setting up something new?

[Former_Member]

Does anyone know where the Janurary Chatty Metalsmiths in the Forums went?

[Former_Member]

Jack - It opened for me when I clicked the link.

[JelliesArtExpression]

Well Tess I think eventually I need a storefront off etsy and given that I am a novice I figured I better start :-) Prolly take me 6 months...old brain :-)

[Former_Member]

this one?

[Former_Member]

I think that's the one. Wasn't it under Techniques?

[cgwhitfield]

Under Teams and Events now.

[cgwhitfield]

Opens quickly for me, Jack.

[Former_Member]

Thanks to both of you. I'm catching on the thread and figuring it out now.

[BodeesJewelry]

I am always behind and lost. I have no idea whats going on :)

[Former_Member]

I am avoiding Etsy's main forum area so as not to confuse myself.

[tessjordandesigns]

Jack I think you're doing great so far. I wouldn't even know where to begin setting up my own storefront off Etsy!

Tammy it's probably cause you have a life (unlike some of us) outside Etsy LOL

[ShireJewelry]

Jack the web site works for me,. your links aren't hyper links yet so I had to copy and paste. I need to do the same. I have one for my dogs (I breed collies) but not my shops. I guess I better get after it !

[cgwhitfield]

In my life fumbling around is accepted practice. The way things are.
