Eek! December is here already and 2010 is just around the corner. My top tip for sellers during the holidays? Don't forget to take time to enjoy friends, family and the warm, fuzzy feelings the holidays bring. Be a good boss to yourself–that means a little holiday bonus and a few days off to enjoy the season.

Making a Banner
Banner help is one of the top searches in our new Help section. In response, I've put collected a list of helpful tips, tutorials, and free resources in this new blog post. (Remember your My Etsy Facebook App prominently displays your shop banner, so now might be a great time to update it.)

Google Product Syndication
We're excited to announce that Etsy is partnering with Google as a participant in the Google Product Search Marketplace Partner Program. This feature will allow sellers to have their items automatically submitted frequently to Google Product Search. We are gradually activating this feature for Etsy sellers who currently use their shop feed to submit items to Google Product Search. No action is required – a gradual rollout to the remainder of the Etsy seller community will follow. Learn more about this partnership here!
