This weekend I was hanging out in the Squidoo Chat room with Troy and we came up with a little competition that I think you guys (and gals) might enjoy following along with.
From Last friday (the 9th) till this coming Friday (the 16th) Troy and I will each build ten lenses.
The lenses will follow the [...]
Fluffanutta was awarded with a lens of the day award for his totally outstanding lens on how to use CSS in Squidoo.
For those of you that haven’t seen much of fluffanutta’s work, he has several tools that are absolutely essential for managing lenses and getting the most out of squidoo.
I use all of these tools, [...]
I’ve written before on some ‘must have’ tools for Squidoo Lensmasters. That list has gotten a little longer with the newly released Squidoo Toolbar from SquidUtils.
I had the pleasure of helping to beta test the new toolbar over the last few weeks with Fluffanutta and I can say that it’s spectacular with stuff like the [...]
Here’s a little trick for you.
If you can’t figure out why you can’t get any search traffic from google on your lens go to the SquidUtils lens Search (powered by Google) and put in the keyword you are trying to rank for. The search only searches lenses (or groups) on squidoo instead of the entire [...]
Yesterday, Gil announced the release of a new Table of Contents Module.
Gil’s Example:
Fluffanutta’s example after applying some of his CSS Tricks:
How it Works
The module automatically creates links to all of your modules with Titles. If your module doesn’t have a title, it doesn’t show up on the list, that simple.
Lot’s of exciting stuff going on [...]
I’ve been trying to pound out some lenses today and have been struggling (as usual) with the unwieldy size of my dashboard. Having 300 lenses listed in one place is great for my ego, but not for getting anything productive done. Opening multiple accounts doesn’t really solve much but forcing me to remember more logins [...]
Some fun new developments this week.
BDKZ has started a blog devoted to Hey! Monkeybrain called Cowabunga!. I think it’s a great and original concept that allows blogging about hot issues (Like Pirates Vs. Ninjas) while incorporating Squidoo at the same time. Very fun and very cool. Great job BDKZ ! (Psst… Ive got a few [...]
Wow, that was a friggin quick week!� Let’s get right too it -
Squidoo HQ announced the release of their next front door : Hey MonkeyBrain. This is a debate themed site where the magic build lenses are designed around two sides to an argument. I thought something like this might have been in the works, [...]
Squidoo HQ has been a busy group of guys and gals the past couple of months, releasing what they call ‘co-brands’ or ‘front doors’ to Squidoo. These doorways offer some different formatting as well as some auto-magical lens building abilities that can get you started on your lens.
The Co-Brands are nice, but what if you [...]
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and a reminder: If you haven’t remodeled your Primary Tags, Do It!
Fluffanutta has written an exceptional article on Primary Tagging as a forum post. I’m going to repost it here after offering a few of my thoughts on Primary Tagging.
1) If your lens is about polka dotted [...]
