great, I'm glad I've found you. If I want to tag some etsy items for Tafa, do I tag 'tafateam' 'tafa' 'etsytafa' or what?

I think TAFA should be okay--Rachel might have suggestions.

OK...as long as we are all on the same page.

Hi Everyone!
I had the same question about tagging. Is it tafa or TAFA?
Also wanted to let you know that my profile is up on TAFA:

Wishing you all a great and productive week:)

just a thought...all tags on etsy are automatically in lower case, so it doesn't matter whether it is TAFA or tafa. The important thing is we all tag in the same way. chat soon.

Hi, everyone! You are welcome to tag your items with TAFA, but we have been holding off on giving a directive because Etsy is reorganizing the Team process into a new thing called "Groups". Teams will be one of the categories under Groups.
In one of their discussion threads about the new Groups, someone asked this same question about tagging and the Etsy response was that it won't be needed anymore because they will have a search mechanism in place that will take care of that. I think the challenge will be to make sure that we have all of our members entered into their new system. With over 90 members, this will be no small task. So far, I haven't seen any news on when this will be launched. If any of you see something, do post here so the rest of us see it.

I didn't realize that we had as many as 90 members. that is so awesome! Is there a list somewhere of TAFA members on Etsy? It would be great to know for treasuries and maybe blog features, thank-you:)

The full list of our TAFA Team members can be accessed by clicking on the people photo on the left sidebar of our blog. It takes you to this page: tafateam.blogspot.com/2010/09/full-list-of-tafa-team-members.html
Then, all of the members' shops are on the blog, in the catalog pages. Although many of us have many different kinds of things in our shops, most of us have a focus, so the shops have been organized in that way. We are also listed as favorites in our TAFA Team shop: www.etsy.com/people/tafateam If you do not see your shop there, let Indira know as she is the one who keeps it updated.
I just did a tag search for TAFA and was pleased to see that many of our members are tagging with TAFA: www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=tafa&search_type=all
