I just discovered that if you create a text box on your member page, you can paste in the javascript code from etsy mini to display a selection of your items on etsy with links to them and to your store. This give us a tremendous opportunity to network and promote our work. As we visit each others stores and comment or heart our favorites, this will build traffic and views making those items more noticeable.
