Hey All, due to some unforseen real life craziness, I’ve been unable to be a good Captain and keep you all up to date on the latest ways to kick butt on Squidoo.
The most recent burst of craziness appears to be slowing down microscopically, so I anticipate being able to get back into the quest [...]
Sorry for the absence everyone, have been getting settled in Singapore and adjusted to life on Southeast Asia.

The Captain has been slaving over a hot computer monitor all weekend getting a new treat ready for you all. There is now a separate part of the Captain Squid site where I’ve compiled resources, tools, and other nifty stuff to help you guys make more money as quickly as possible. The ‘Tools’ section and [...]
I switched The Captain over to Do-Follow late last week and I thought I’d announce it officially today.
