*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic, sockpuppet, or link to irrelevant and non-Squidoo sites (includes signatures).
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Etsy module version 1.0 live!
Hey Etsy sellers, now you can list your products with a module made just for you! Squidoo was fortunate enough to have someone develop a very simple version of the Etsy module for us.
While this is just a showcase module for now (does not earn commissions), we'd love to work more with Etsy and develop something better for the future. So use it, love it, and put in a good word for us with Etsy. 
Look for it under the A-Z tab of the module picker.
Enjoy!

Cool! My wife will be digging this when she gets around to updating her Etsy-oriented Squidoo lenses.
Thanks!

Awesome! I don't sell over there but I often find things I'd love to direct people to. This should make it easy to add things.

This is AWESOME! OMG I love it -

It doesn't like when I try to put in a section #, and I can't access the Display Options - but oh having the pictures in there with the links is SO MUCH better than the RSS feed alone...
I posted about the new module over in the Etsy forums so the Squidoo users over there can hear about it...

WTG to the developer for getting this done!

Re: Etsy module version 1.0 live!
Are you trying to put in the entire URL or just your user ID number? It needs to just be the number.
I don't sell on etsy (yet) but there's a shop that sells the cutest cephalopod plushies and patterns that fits so well with one of my lenses that I like being able to feature her great stuff now. http://www.squidoo.com/cephalopod_patterns

Re: Etsy module version 1.0 live!
Sooo loving this new module, thanks a bunch!
My Etsy shop is struggling for attention since I found Squidoo right after I swore I would spend all my extra time working on the projects that now feel very neglected in a pathetic heaping pile. Maybe this will give me new inspiration...
(I am also delighted to be able to feature products from my all time favorite Etsy shop, Tiddlywinks.)

Re: Etsy module version 1.0 live!
This is great!
I have a small 'confession' to make - the current lens of the day Fashion Handbags - Recycle With Style (Thank You Guys!!)is one of a pair I built for friend's daughter to help promote her Etsy business - she will be delighted

Thank so much, Noadi The instructions look like it should be the whole URL - but I've figured it out with your help (just the number).

Re: Etsy module version 1.0 live!
Yes the instructions are very confusing - by showing the whole URL it makes you think you should be putting the whole URL into the box and not just the number.
I got stuck with that confusion last night when I first started working with it.

Can't believe I missed this! What an awesome addition. I need to get back into my Etsy projects now that I can pair them with Squidoo.
I'll never see daylight again! :p
