Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: pottery, process

So I finally got around to starting to post pieces on my new ETSY page… or so I thought?! For some reason the whole site is pretty user-friendly… until you get one of these big red error boxes!!! Nothing to click. Nothing to edit. No drop-down menus??? I couldn’t get past this!!! Ugh. It’s never easy.

I even asked some of the other potters on the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR for advice… lots of suggestions, and nothing worked. I called my friend Nancy and she tackled it for over an hour… even trying it on her computer… but to no avail. I even texted both of the organizers of the pottery tour… more for updates & moral support.

Jon called me right back to walk me through it if he could… and lo & behold… it seems to now be miraculously working. He didn’t even have to do anything… it just showed up… and it was working?! I’ve got options. I’ve got shipping profiles. I’ve got my first six pieces “posted” in draft mode… and all seems to be going well.

Although it’s kinda tough to type the info in while my fingers are still crossed.
