Treasuries
*These instructions are geared to making a Treasury for the members of the Delaware Etsy Street Team and was copied from a blog post we did in February 2011. You of course can pick your own theme. But we do like us a good DE themed treasury and will give you a weekly "Delaware item included" Tuesday posting to link it up to here on this blog for your treasury as long as it contains 1 item featured by a Delaware Artist or is a Treasury created by a DEST member.
Step 2:Making working more simple:
I found it easiest to have multiple tabs open for:
I found it easiest to have multiple tabs open for:
- For Treasury Page
- For DEST Etsy Shop: specifically the Favorites Page
Step 3: Name, Describe and Tag:
- After finding photos of pieces I really liked and though went well together (knowing they would all be DEST member items made it easier to narrow down. You can pick a color, season, feeling, theme, etc.), I looked at my collection and though about what the items meant to me - what they might mean to someone looking at the overall treasury. The title is what I thought their story should be called.
- The description - short like a little love poem. Written with the intention to capture the viewer with what inspired you about this collection and why you made it.
- The tags should be simple words that describe the treasury in ways that people could find it. Using team tags such as "delawareteam", "deteam", "etsyteams" can help broaden the audience as well.
Step 4: How to get it out there:
- Use the social media gadgets on the finished Treasury Page (Twitter, Facebook, etc).
- Add your treasury to our weekly Delaware Treasury Tuesday Blog post (see "Step 5"below for instructions on using the Inlinkz).
- If you want to create a pic of your treasury for your blog, etc: click HERE.
- The Widget Settings on the original blog post: Large, Snapshot.
- We have a thread on the Team Discussion page where you can post a link to your treasuries.
- In addition to our Delaware Treasury Tuesday blog post link up, Click on over to fellow DEST member: Aquariann's Art & Tree Chatter Blogand list your treasury up on her Treasury Tuesday Post.
Step 5: Adding your Treasury to the Inlinkz on the DelawareEtsy Blog:
- Copy and paste the treasury URL (the web address) into the Inlinkz form. Add the treasury name or your name. Select your thumbnail.
- If you want your thumbnail to be an image of your treasury, you will go to the actual treasury page and take a selective screen shot of your treasury including the title. Save it as a jpeg file to your computer. Then when Inlinkz asks you to select a thumbnail you can select the tab for "upload from your computer". Select the jpeg image of your treasury, upload and you're done.
