I’ve been helping and guiding a few friends about etsy widget even before I opened my own store. People feel themselves embarrassed for asking a apparently ”silly” question as I’ve been told but I dont think that way. First, no one born scholar with a degree in computer engeneer and design and even if we do, we will all need a sweet hand once in a while to guide us into the unknown world of everyday new found computer language and gimmicks, so here we go, as easy as 1,2,3 for now …..
Step 1: Log in to your etsy store, supposing you have a store, if not, sign up for a new account and once you all set just log yourself in.
Step 2: From your Etsy home page click ”Your Etsy” tab. Once page is opened, scroll down till the end of it and then at the side bar on your left the last option ”Etsy Mini” , left mouse click on it.
Step 3: Voilá! There you are. You can make experiments on how many columns and rows you want your widget to be, once done, just copy your code down on the page, you will have to choose if you want Java or Flash page for webpages and blogs or social networking respectively, copy, past on your site and be happy.
A not good news for WordPress users is that none of that above work for us due to security issues wordpress doesnt want to risk our data but there’s always a way out and we can pull a trick here, I just made a simple adjustment to my side bar: There it is my Etsy logo with my store link embeded on it and under it. Simple and charming without pulling the hair out.
