Hop and Squidoo - My Squidoo Toolbox

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.

I promised last week that I'd have something useful to share, and I do!  I just finsihed My Squidoo Toolbox,  a lens with the tools I tend to consult the most when making my own squidoo lenses:  html tools, Zazzle tools, places to find graphics and such.  I hope you might find it useful as well!

So, are there any sites/lenses you use frequently when making lenses?  What's in your toolbox?

NOTES: I put my updates on my other blog: Texifornia.

Hop and Squidoo - Updates

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 time I'm keeping it short and...well, sort of self-promotional.  Sorry, but don't worry...I'm working on some helpful tips for next hop that I just don't have time to finish now.

UPDATED LENSES
The following lenses I've updated since I posted here last:

Blog Giveaway Linkies
Selling Your Art Through Print on Demand
Shop For Charity
Nazareth - An Interactive Exploration 


IN THE WORKS
I'm working on a lens on props and set design for Bible Theater, VBS, Sunday School presentations etc.   If you know of any tips that might be helpful, I'd love to hear if you don't mind me using them!

*Yeah, some of these have more than 60 comments.  I don't have to follow my own rules.  As it is, that giveaway was submitted when it had a modest 33 comments and only two days to go.  When someone's nice enough to submit and follows my rules I try to post it.  And 77 comments is still not that much, for the last day of a giveaway.

Aloha Friday - Advice Wanted

Every week or so I participate in Aloha Friday, where I ask a simple question for you to answer (nothing that requires a lengthy response). If you'ld like to, comment with an answer to the questions below:
Intex 8' X 18" Sun Fish Snapset Pool
I have a kiddie pool sort of like this the one pictured on the right.  I like it because it holds a lot of water and you don't have to blow it up, and it's safe for my littlest because he can get in and out of it easily.  But it has a big problem too...it's a pain in the butt to store.  You're supposed to roll it up but I never can get it to roll up small enough to fit in it's box (which I've now lost anyways).  So, after last summer, it got left out, sort of rolled up in a corner of my yard I can't see from any windows.  And it got rained on, and the plastic bottom now has mold on it.  Now I can't figure out what to do with it.

So, what would you do?  Bleach it and try to get rid of the mold?  Toss it and get another one?  Toss it and try something else? 

Please leave your answers in a comment.  Thanks a bunch!
