New Team - The Captain is ME!

Etsy has alot of teams.  I am sure there is a team to cover just about anything and everything you could ask for.  Promotional Teams, BNR Teams, Instructional Teams, Teams for your Blog, Local Teams and International Teams.  But I have been kicking around an idea for a team and so I thought I would give it a try.  Do you remember the old threads?  We had a wonderful thread "Item of the day" with Sophine as the Captain.  I wanted to take that idea and bring it to a team.  But these days when you post a full URL you get a picture.  You can post as many link's as you want of course but only 5 pictures will appear and the rest are only URL's.  So how do I get a team to post Sale Items in a way I can copy and paste through out the day adding shop after shop ... I wanted the 6th shop posting to look like the 5th shop posting.  So how would I do this?  The URL has to be altered so as NOT to present a picture of the item.  Well OK I have learned to do this.  It was on another team.  It was a promotional team ... I think it was the PROMOTION COMMOTION Discussion Thread ... oh my, I apologize for not remembering which wonderful etsian helped me learn to alter an item's URL.  That information was very helpful to me.  That is how I am going to post the links for this New Team.  YES!!!
August 1st, 2011 I started a new team  ...............
We're Having A Sale Team .................
It is a promotional Team.
Here is what the "We're Having A Sale Team" is for.  Like the old Item of the Day thread you post 1 item of special interest.  Simple enough, right.  But the Link has to be altered so I can copy and paste it to the list of other shops.  So I ask you to paste the link twice and alter the top link so the picture only appears from the bottom link.  Some Etsy Shop owners already know how to alter a URL and some Etsy Shop owners do not.  I have added instructions on what to do, what to remove from the link and what to leave so it is still a clickable link and potential buyers can get to your shop.
This is the format I need you to use so I can easily copy your info

*************************

How to Alter your URL
do it the easy way
copy the URL once 
paste it twice then alter one of the URL's (alter the 1st one)

(remove) HTTP:// and everything after " / " including >>> / <<< 
( HTTP:// ) www.etsy.com/listing/65260504  (/3-spacers)
the 1st URL will look like the link above
If you posted your URL twice - the bottom (2nd) URL's will become your item's picture
**************************
Are these clear and understandable instructions?
Would you like to join the Team?
We're Having A Sale Team <<< click the link
You post your special item only 1 time and We (the Team) will repost all through the day.
A new thread will start everyday so you can post everyday if you want to.  1 item with a special discount or a coupon code.
