I'm ready to go.  I will try to pin/repin something every day but I probably won't manage, in which case I'll do "catch-up" pinning regularly.

OK, I got started with participation in the Pinterest Ring.  Here's what I did:

1.  I created a board in my Pinterest account called Great Handmade Gifts.  I pinned some items from other participants on that Board.  If you want to spread the word, you can go to my account in Pinterest (dianashye), look for that board and "like", commnet, or Repin.

2.  I "followed all" for each of the current participants in the Ring.

3.  I went into the group "It's Better Handmade" and like and repinned some of the items there.

I will continue to do this on a regular basis.  Please let me know if there's something else/more that I should be doing.

Good luck to all of us!

Do I need to go into Pinterest and edit the text for all my jewelry items that I posted from my Etsy store to put in the link to the store?  By the way, are you sure it's OK to publish links to shops, etc., on Pinterest?  I know that it's not permitted on Flickr.  But any photo I post from my Etsy store always has a link to the store, even if I don't put the link in my text.  That's why I haven't put the link to my store in my text until now--it looks too much like just plan advertising.

My apologies for missing last week's FB Member Spotlight entirely!!  I was on a week of grandmother duty at my kids' place and it completedly slipped my mind.  Will try and do better from now on.  At times like that, I need a reminder via e-mail at the beginning of the week...

Sooo sorry to be so late posting on this week's Spotlight!  I was away from my computer on grandmother duty...  Since I was on for Group 5 this week, I just now posted for Lindentreephotography, Finding Charm, CrochetHooked, DrunkEthics and Adrianalauramendez on my FB page at:

Better late than never....  Tomorrow I'll post for the coming week's Spotlight.

Apologies...

Sorry I didn't do this sooner--I couldn't get into the forum after the change in format.  It took me a while to figure out what to do to solve the problem.

I just posted for JackBeNimbleCandles at http://facebook.com/DianaShyeJewelry.

Now I'll go and comment on others' posts.

I posted for all of this week's featured artists (except for myself).  You can see my posts on my FB fan page at http://www.facebook.com/DianaShyeJewelry.

I'll be on vacation from July 24th thru August 7th.  Will be mostly offline so I probably won't be able to participate in the Spotlight until I return.  Will post for the August 7th spotlighted artists, though.
