» Finishing giant squid summer school :)

First assignment: caption contest:
I loved the caption plexo module. I used it in several of the other lenses in this summerschool. This one is perhaps not the best in the set: spiritual pictures.
Second assignment: favorite thing:
We were told to make a lens about the thing we would most miss if it got burned in a [...]

» The best squidoo blog EVER :)

There are a lot of good squidoo blogs out there, but the one I really love is by Growwear. She does squidoo lens reviews, which is what her blog is called. But what I really love is her asking her readers a question weekly – and then featuring the answer plus ALL the lenses by [...]

» What the new google rel-nofollow policy means for squidoo

» Going for excellence (on squidoo)

I’ve been looking at lenses to bless – you know, being an eager young squidangel and all. And what I find that there is a LOT out there that’s mediocre. Lenses that have no more than 4 or 5 modules. Lenses that don’t have any text typed by that lensmaster themselves. Lenses that just do [...]

» Groups & giant squids & spam

I’ve been thinking about the new squidoo HQ effort to clean out groups. It has caused a lot of groups to close down that I am glad to see go down the internet drain.
However, thinking about this, and looking at my own groups – it is very easy to come to the conclusion that [...]
