Are you on Flickr?

Hi there My name is Fiona (aka www.patchworkdelights.com). I am keeping an eye on the Flickr end of things. For those of you who haven't heard of flickr it is basically a photo sharing place. If you have a facebook account you can simply sign in using your Facebook account. Otherwise just open a yahoo account and join Flickr. It is very very simple. Now a lot of you are already in the Crafty Ireland group but we have now started up the Etsy Ireland Group which is ties in obviously with the blog and so forth. So if you don't mind just join the new group. Then simply take good clear pretty photos of your works of art and upload them to your space. You can add your photos to "groups". One important group to join is the Etsy Ireland Group. Here is the link. In the meantime here are some beautiful items from your Etsy Ireland team mates who have joined the new group.

Fancy getting stuck in??????????

Social Networking for Etsy Ireland

Things are moving along nicely here at the Etsy Ireland Team. As of late we noticed a demand for the team to be on visible on other flatforms other than this blog, so we put the word out asking for volunteers to help out with a Twitter and Facebook fanpage. Ooakie has been good enough to take on doing the twitter account for the team, doing regular updates and links to the blog. We had thought of doing twitpix, but it might be simpler if team images were kept to the facebook account. The team twitter account is already up and running, go check it out and start following

Irishwoolen volunteered to work on the facebook fanpage, and we need your products images to get things rolling. Also send a very short shop bio with your images, and all your necessary links to shops, blog, twitter, and facebook. I'd say maximum 10 images would be enough to start with, we don't want to give her too much extra work. Please email your images as attachments to Caroloine at etsyireland@gmail.com, also try not to have huge file sizes please. We'll post the link as soon as the facebook page is active so you can all fan and share it.

Also while we are on the subject of team forums, you may not have noticed but we have a flickr group . Once you have a flickr account, all you have to do is click the link and join the group, then you can add your images to the group pool, you will see the 'add something' option. I'm not sure what benifit flickr has as I'm very new to it, but maybe if you have had a good experience on the site let us know in the comments below.
Also if any of you have your own fanpages, or if you twitter leave links here in the comments so we can share and follow. I succumbed today to twitter...goodbye life!
