Quickly Add Any Etsy Treasury To Your Blog Or Webpage
10. Jan, 2012

For way to long the Etsy community has been taking screen shots of Etsy treasuries to show them off on our blogs. Martin from Whale Shark Websites has made our lives so much easier! He has created a very simple tool that allows you to place any Etsy treasury on a blog or webpage. You will notice that everything that is clickable in an Etsy treasury is clickable on this Etsy Treasury Blog version.
Here is a treasury I picked to show off this new tool!

You’ve solved a major dilemma for those of us working on laptop ! Not having the ability to capture an entire screen shot in past and having to resort to cutting and pasting,…, has been hellish.
Ahh! for the simple things in life. Thank you for presenting us with this great application.

I found this really easy to use but I hit a problem when I went to preview, no matter if I reduce to tiny it bleeds over the edge of my post. I did notice that the code seems very large when I added it. Do you think this is could be the problem.

I did try the 3 columns Tim but it looks odd with the last item all on it’s own and looks like it’s unfinished. I think it could be my blog layout.

Now we need an open source developer to create a convo for the blog that doesn’t use Etsy conversations.
Since I like to create multiple treasuries at once, my convos, after the first automatically tag me as a spammer. Then Etsy disables my communication function which extends to my conversations with buyers. I cannot put my ability to communicate with buyers at risk in order to communicate with other sellers>
I was recently selected for Etsy Treasury Hunter 2 days in a row. By sending notice to 32 sellers that they are featured on Etsy Treasury Hunter, I risk having my ability to communicate with buyers and sellers disabled on Etsy,
I have spoken to Etsy management about this and their solution is that I use the time consuming process of contacting sellers individually by email. They can do “nothing” about their automated process designed to save their time and protect us all from spammers sending a mass mailing of 32 identical messages.
I think it would cost us less time to deal with those marked by Etsy as spammers, real or not< then to devise ways of communicating with one another without putting our ability to communicate with buyers at risk.
If there is such an app already. Please post here. It might work to adapt the current ap so that it changes each email in a sequence by a number or phrase-so that it will not be automatically detected as "spam" by Etsy's auto responders.
For the time being I post my treasuries and any publications of those treasuries on my Facebook Page

I just created my blog- which so far has only a title – The Art Of The Etsy Treasury. I expect to have some content up very soon.

Hi Tim
I have managed to do treasuries like this a couple of times and it works a treat.I have now made a private treasury (all my own items)as I wanted to add it to my blog under a stand alone page, but I can’t get the code as it comes up with error on page. Do you happen to know if this is because I made it private to me? Can’t think of any other way to do this so would be grateful for any help you might have. Thanks in advance
