Squidoo Blog Hop

Hello, and welcome fellow Squido Lensmasters! For those who aren't travelling here by blog hop and don't know what Squidoo is, it's just a place where you can make nifty little web pages about any topic you choose, and maybe earn a little money for yourself or a charity in the process.  

This hop has been a real inspiration to me.  I've made more lenses since joining than I have in the whole year before I joined.  You all are such an encouragement!   Thanks!

Now here's my Squid-news....

NEW LENS
I finished another lens this week!  Did you know that the term onesie is trademark of Gerber?  Until a few years ago I thought "Onesie" was just a generic term for a type of baby clothes.  But I found out after I changed the names on a bunch of my products at CafePress from Infant Creeper (their name for it back then...they now call them infant bodysuits) to Onesie.  Then I had to change them all back when I found out Gerber owned that name and vigilantly protects their trademark of it.

To save other businesses from the same mistake, and encourage people to search under other terms for this product (since when Gerber makes you take "Onesie" off your product descriptions it falls out of the search results too), I made the lens NOT a Onesie.

UPDATED LENSES
I updated my Blog Events and Linky Party lens this week.  Added a bunch of new blog events.

THANKS
Thanks to Marsha for adding my son's Lego Creation lens to your Lego Lens!

Squidoo Blog Hop - My Kiddo Made a Lens!

Hello, and welcome fellow Squido Lensmasters! For those who aren't travelling here by blog hop and don't know what Squidoo is, it's just a place where you can make nifty little web pages about any topic you choose, and maybe earn a little money for yourself or a charity in the process.

Today I want to brag on another lensmaster...my son!  He published his first lens last week:  Lego Creations.   Below is his Dragon Hero from the lens,  just one of the lego creatures you can find there.


I showed him how to use Squidoo and helped him with spelling and offered a few suggestions (and added just a few notes from me so that people would know this is HIS lens, not MINE...since it's on my account).  But all the content is his and his alone. 

It was so much fun working with him on this, and this process...helping him make this lens, gave me a whole new viewpoint of Squidoo.  I never thought about just how many steps there is to adding a video, if you're making a video yourself (filming it, adding it to a video site, all the tagging and description, then putting it on Squidoo and describing it some more.

I had him pick out a charity to support for his lens, and the charity he picked was DoSomething.org.  He liked that it was something that helped kids to be able to make a difference.    He picked Aqua for his theme because "this is a website for kids and I think kids would like that better." 

When we went on to publish he noticed the green bar on the top of the sidebar and asked me about it...and that led him to add a longer intro...which was not an easy task...especially since he was doing the typing himself (I'd forgotten how slow hunting and pecking went).  I found myself explaining what "keywords" were and we worked on adding some.

I hope you'll  stop by his lens and give him a friendly comment if you have the time.  I know he'll be thrilled.

I have a new lens to share this week!  My Color Match Lens is about how to use the Zazzle customization feature to change artwork to match your decor. 

I'm also in the process of updating my Scribbleprints lens (got it out of the pink - horay!).  I've added a section explaining my scribble style of art, and plan to add a short bio...but I'd love more suggestions of how I can improve this lens.

In other news, a lens I had nominated for lens of the day, Theater Set Questions Answered, actually GOT lens of the day this last week!!  (Not that I can take credit for that, as there were probably other people that nominated it too...but makes me glad all the same).

Hop and Squidoo

Hello, and welcome fellow Squido Lensmasters! For those who aren't travelling here by blog hop and don't know what Squidoo is, it's just a place where you can make nifty little web pages about any topic you choose, and maybe earn a little money for yourself or a charity in the process.

This has been a busy and exciting week on Squidoo for me.

Here's the biggest news:

  

I got my first purple star!!  I bet you can guess which lens...Nazareth!

I also made two new lenses this week.  I made one on Vintage Alphabet Posters and another on Local Blog Linkies (Blog Hops and Parties where you can share posts about your home town or other places you've been).  I've also updated my Texas T-Shirts lens with some shirts about this summer's Texas Heat Wave (it's been in the triple digets all summer here...ug...so ready for fall!).

Thanks everyone who commented last week about the Squidoo Questions linky idea.  Everyone was positive but I think I'm going to hold off for now...I've been trying to cut down my time online and adding something else to do just isn't the best idea for me right now.  If anyone else wants to take that ball and run with it I'd be happy to play along though.
