I am currently testing a sidebar ad widget that you can use to display your Etsy listings on your blogs. I have tested it in Blogger and Wordpress.
A sample can be seen here: cr8tivity.blogspot.com/

If you want to participate in the testing, let me know and I will send you instructions on how to add it to you blogs. It's all free.

Features:

* Mouse-over the image to pause scrolling
* Click on » and « to move to the next and previous item respectively.
* Click the Buy link to add the item to Etsy's shopping cart
* Click on More info to view item in Etsy

Regards,
Troy

Oooooo Troy that is a pretty nice widget you got there!

I think its great. Can we edit the colors? Or perhaps make the name of the product more bold? But I think it's pretty unique, I'm lovin' it!

kmcgiveron,

Yes, you can change the colors of the fonts, borders, backgrounds. It's all controlled by CSS. I'm writing a little web app that will allow you to customize the widget.
