    Congrats on passing that 50k mark! Well deserved.

    Funny how you state that more people are visiting the blog and staying for longer periods of time. I’m taking a much needed break from “tagging” on Etsy and where did I end up? Why here of course.

    Not sure what others gain from these lists, but here’s what I’m learning. I run a card shop on Etsy. And I incorporate a LOT of my personal photos that I’ve taken of my dogs. So, with all of the shop maintenance that I’ve been doing reading these lists has helped me with my titles and tags a lot. Words that I thought didn’t belong are being added due to them being associated with the card/photo. They make look goofy, but we’ll see by the traffic. Just a simple handmade dog greeting card is so bare. So, adding colors and any props that are in the photo as well may help them in being discovered.

    And yes-Spring fever is sitting in here as well. Now, I must go search a few items on this list that have me thinking…..fantasy fairy knives???

    As always……thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for sharing and the much needed break! Back to work.
