Etsy Alerts: The New News Emails

2008-04-23T12:02:00-05:00

Many Etsians have been asking for a cut and dry way to get only the important site news from admin. The Storque is great and all, you say, but there's so much content, it's hard to pinpoint what's what in the Etsy News Section.

We over here at the Storque are up for the task. We are converting the Etsy News Email list to be an Etsy News Alert system. In the past, Etsy News was about a weekly or so collection of headlines from the Storque. Pleasant enough, but not instantaneous! Not hard-hitting!

That was then, this is now: just sign up for the Etsy News Emails listserve here, or by clicking on the envelope icon on the homepage of Etsy.

You will get breaking news headlines straight from Etsy Central, as they are published on the Storque, delivered to your email inboxes. Hello, synchronicity!

Included Topics:

Downtime & site outages
Cooperative Advertising announcements
New site features launched
Statistics
Showcase announcements
Policy & legal announcements
Important Customer Support how-tos
Major posts from Etsy's founder Rob Kalin, aka Rokali
Town Halls or other community-wide events
Other news important enough for us to bug you

We realize the need for a swift, targeted and convenient way for Etsians to get headlines. We know your are busy and you need the headlines which will help you run your businesses on Etsy. As with any curated content, we'll be making judgment calls on the fly as these stories break, and those calls may fall prey to human error once in a while. But we promise to do our best! Of course, we hope you'll read the rest of the Storque too for other Etsy News on Competitions & Opportunities, EtsyinthePress, as well as insightful and useful posts about Legal Info for Artists, EtsyTeams, Virtual Labs Schedule, Shop Makeover Series, etc. But these can be read at your leisure if you feel the urge...

We are just starting this, so please let us know your thoughts below in the comments! And go subscribe here!

Etsy Finds: Wool Felt

2008-03-14T16:29:00-05:00

I have the flu, again, and am bundled up with cocoa and blankets. It seemed like a good idea to deem today Felt Friday and compose an Etsy Find entirely with fuzzy soothing wool loveliness.

Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll see you Monday!

December Storque Newscast

2007-12-07T14:37:00-05:00

December has been a crazy month so far, and here's another crazy newscast to go with it!

Adam and Amy struggle to find words for all that's happening at Etsy (or maybe it's the writers' strike?), while Charles brings us up-to-date with his Web-er Report. Beth unveils new site features, Matt gives us a lively reminder about the Bust Craftacular and Bob reports from the front lines of Etsy Labs where Anda and Danielle are standing by to fill us in on Etsy Emails and Good Magazine's Pop-Up Store.

Have a wonderful holiday, from all of us at the Storque!

Etsy Teams Update: New and Improved Etsy Teams Pages LIVE!

2007-10-19T08:50:00-05:00

If you've visited the Etsy Teams pages in the past few hours, you may have noticed something remarkably different about them. Namely, the pages are much easier on the eyes, as well as easier to use! While they're not quite as sweet as the upcoming Community Section we're planning, these improved pages will make it much more pleasant to find and use lots of resources for Etsy Teams. You can still find these pages with the other important links down in the lower left-hand portion of each and every page on Etsy.

You'll find these pages are much easier to navigate, thanks to Wonderamy rethinking the pages and improving the navigation bar at the top of each and every page. You can now easily access a greatly improved list of all the Etsy Teams, grouped by location or interest. Your team's profile page URL has stayed the same, so if you have it linked to blogs, websites, forums and other off-Etsy sites, you won't have to worry about fixing links and things.

We made the resources for marketing your team a breeze to find, and they include downloads and a list of helpful links. We'll be adding Etsy Team Guides frequently. You can also look for the Projects list of ongoing community projects, as well as a new link to the Workshops - here you can find all the transcripts from previous workshops (a fantastic thing to refer to), as well as find out when the next Round Table Workshops will be occurring.

To join a team, you should still email Sara and Amy at teams@etsy.com, or see the profile page of the team you're interested in joining. We're so excited about working with all of the teams, especially in the upcoming months. To keep up to date on everything in the land of the Etsy Teams, join the Teams mini-mailing list by entering your email address at http://team.etsy.com. Yay!
