I’ve moved the newsletter list over to a new service (I wasn’t satisfied with the old one’s interface) so expect a confirmation e-mail to drop into your mailbox today sometime if you have already signed up.

It’s important to confirm again in order to receive the Newsletter going out this week.

Haven’t signed up or you signed up with a junk e-mail address because you thought you were sneaky and now you want to get the newsletter?

Arrr… no problem. Here’s the Sign-up form.

While you are at it, you may want to subscribe to the Captain Squid RSS feed as well. RSS is basically my posts sent to your e-mail or ‘RSS reader’ which allows you to read many blogs at once. Google Reader is probably one of the most popular RSS readers.

Stay Tuned, I’ve got an exciting week of new stuff for you all to check out

-The Captain

I’m proud to present the first Captain Squid E-Book : The Lens Publishing Checklist !

What is it?

The Lens Publishing Checklist is a 12 Step ( with a bonus 13th step for some lenses) program. Don’t need a 12 step program you say? You need this one!

The theory behind this checklist is to help you Squidooers turn out the highest quality lenses that are fully optimized and that are recognized lightning fast by the search engines. In about 15 minutes, you can optimize your lens to get picked up by the Big 3 (Google, Yahoo, MSN) within a few days.

I’ve been testing it out over the last month or so and have seen some pretty excellent results.

Alright you Pirate you, how much does it cost?

Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. I’m offering it to you guys 100% free. Simply enter your e-mail address into the form to receive your Super Secret Link to the Lens Publishing Checklist.

About the e-mail thing

I’m planning on offering some even sneakier tricks and training through an e-mail newsletter to those interested. As per the pirate code, The Captain does not abuse your e-mail address in any way. In fact, if you want to un-subscribe at any time, feel free! If a Pirate’s life is not for you, I understand.

Wow, Captain This E-book is awesome! Can I resell/repackage it?

Nope, sorry. The Captain retains the copyright on the Lens Publishing Checklist. It is meant to be and I intend for it to always be a free resource for Lensmasters. Feel free to give it to all of your friends, point others to this page to get their own copy, or delete it. If myself or any others of my Roving Band find you trying to sell the Lens Publishing Checklist unpleasant piratey things could happen to you.
