I Just Created My First Lens on Squidoo


Well, I finally had the time to create my first Squidoo lens. I joined back in April of 2007 so I've only been a little delinquent in creating my first lens - ya think!!!!! Four years is not a little delinquent, Linda. It's a lot delinquent.

Well, in my defense, I have been just a little busy during these past four years. So, today I decided to give Squidoo a try. After floundering a little at first I finally got the lay of the land and figured out how the modules for the lens worked. And, I ended up loving it. I may just have to create more lenses.

If you don't know what Squidoo is it's a combination of a social community and publishing community that allows users to create pages (called lenses) for things they are interested in.

According to their FAQ's:

What kinds of lenses can you make?

All kinds. Every kind.

Not sure what you can make a lens about? You could make an About Me lens (well, about you). Or a review lens. Or a lens about your blog, to help point traffic to it. Or a lens about your art. Or your eBay or Etsy or Zazzle or CafePress shop. Or about your hobby. Or your dogs. Or your hometown. Or your favorite books or movies or video games.

For a small business crafter on the web who is trying to draw some attention to their website or blog Squidoo is a great way to do this. Why I waited four years to do so is beyond me.

In any event, I decided I'd create my very first lens based on my "History of Faceless Dolls" Linda's Blog post. It had a LOT of really good information in it that I thought everyone would love to read.

If you'd like to see my first lens "The History of Faceless Dolls" please CLICK HERE.

There's a guestbook at the bottom of the lens so if you decide to visit please leave me a comment. I'd love to know how you liked my first lens.

And, if you really like my lens please give a big "thumbs" up for "liking" it.  It's the button in the upper left hand corner of the lens.
