. . . . eventually.



Bonnie, our team Captain, asked me to post a quick announcement about the CAST Yahoo Group. She will be keeping the Yahoo Group open so that she has the option to e-mail all Yahoo Group members at one time. The CAST Yahoo Group may close entirely if Etsy implements group convo capabilities in the future.

However, Bonnie will be closing the Yahoo discussions as there is no good way to keep spam out of our inboxes over there.

I know there are some who really enjoy the Yahoo format, but we hope everyone will take the opportunity to come over to the new CAST Team Format on Etsy and join in our various CAST discussion threads there. Unlike in the past when we just had a profile page with a list of team members, we now have a dedicated area of Etsy with our own forums, a much nicer way to browse CAST Shops and links with the possibility of more capabilities to be added later. Come try it out!

Bonnie of Tiggerbonn, our CAST Team Leader, convo'd me to ask me to let everyone know that after a long hiatus, the CAST Team Yahoo Group message feature has been reactivated.

If you were a former member of the CAST Team Yahoo Group you will probably have noticed that you have been receiving messages via e-mail from other members. If you aren't currently a member of the group you may go sign up.

If your e-mail inbox is being bombarded with CAST messages and would like to change your settings so you receive all the message in one daily digest instead of as they are written, you can click the CAST Team Yahoo Group link, sign into your Yahoo account and then click the "Edit Membership" link near the top to change your settings.

Even though it needs a little dusting off, some members prefer the Yahoo Group to the Etsy forums. If you participate there you will likely meet different CAST Members and find a great place to network. You can also post photos, post your links and find Facebook, Twitter and Blog links for other members.

Thanks,
Sue of SueRunyonDesigns

For those of you who are new, CAST has had a Yahoo Group for quite some time, but it has become inactive due to the fact that most members prefer to interact in real time on the Etsy forums. Bonnie, our team leader, contacted me a few days ago and suggested that we use the existing Yahoo Group to put together databases for our CAST members to post links to their blogs, Facebook Fan Pages and Twitter accounts. She set them up for us and I put my links in to test them out. They are up and running!

You must have a Yahoo account and be a member of the CAST Yahoo Group to post links. Many of you already have free Yahoo accounts for e-mail or for other groups.

I have posted the links to each of the databases on our blog sidebar. This a great opportunity for us to be more "linked up" as a team and to promote our shops. Thanks, Bonnie!

God Bless,
Sue Runyon
