I write about some of my personal experiences on Squidoo and today I am thinking about my younger girls who are the subjects of two of my first, and most successful, lenses on Squidoo: Bullying at Primary School and Auditory Processing Disorder.I wrote those lenses because I read the Squidoo e-book: Everyone's an expert, which convinced me that I had knowledge that would help people because of our own personal experiences. Over the past few years we have had to deal with the problems Sparky s... Read Full Story

Squidoo Plexography? What is a Squidoo Plexography? There's not many Plexographies on Squidoo and those Lensmasters that have them use them in different ways. Plexographies are different to Lensographies. The term Lenosgraphy was first used by Lensmaster The Fluffanutta, to describe a collection of lenses all gathered together on one Lens, that is divided up into categories. Many Lenosgraphies are in fact biographies featuring a collection of Lensmasters own lenses; or they can be a collect... Read Full Story

Oh yes! I DO want to be a writer! And I guess I am really, because I am writing all the time. Whether it is Squidoo lenses, blogging on here and on Squidtop or articles for SquidLog.So why think about it today? I have been going through all my lenses, to make sure they are as good as I can get them, ready for someone to check them over when my Giant Squid application is considered. I have just been looking at my lens: wannabe a writer?This has to be one of my favourite lenses. It was the firs... Read Full Story

RedGage, the newest social networking site has created a buzz of conversations in various places on Squidoo, including the SquidU Forum and various blogs. Fellow Lensmasters, who I have the utmost respect for have already joined. But I am holding back - for several reasons. Recently I made the decision to focus my networking in specific areas. The danger when you first join Squidoo is that you can get so caught up in all the networking that is available, you can end up with very little time t... Read Full Story

Those of you who followed by lens experiment on Losing weight with a wheat free diet will know that I do like to have a look at the Stats on my lenses. However, over the last few weeks as I slogged away to make my 50 lenses in order to be able to apply for Giant Squid, although I have kept an eye on my rankings, looking at the detail has been neglected due to lack of time. I have been through all my lenses to sort out which ones I wanted to switch to the new Squidoo templates and I will cont... Read Full Story

One of the downsides of the new Squidoo Home Page (which I love by the way), is that people looking for the best Lenses to Spam, can find them with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. Recently I noticed I was following the same Lensmaster around as he left a comment in Guestbooks and then left a link to a completely unrelated Lens.The Spammer was reported and I hope he got a very stern warning from HQ.Yesterday it happened again. The following message was left:Great lens! I love it when I s... Read Full Story

...but forgive me if I am not doing cartwheels. Father's Day turned into a very sad day for us. One of our young bunnies was taken ill on Saturday evening and although the prognosis looked OK on Saturday night, by Sunday blood tests had shown an untreatable problem and we had to have her put to sleep.The girls are devastated. There's something very hard about losing a young pet - when they are old and have had a good life, it's not quite so bad.So things are very subdued in AJ's household tod... Read Full Story

Just thought I would share what little effort it took to make sure that I had brilliant pics on my new lens Hairspray the Musical. As anyone who goes to see a Musical Show like Phantom of the Opera, Grease etc knows - you are not allowed to take pics during the performance. So if you want to make a lens about your experience it can be hard to use great pics - unless of course pics from the show are on a site like AllPosters 10 days ago I went to see Hairspray the Musical in London. I already ... Read Full Story

Hairspray the Musical - one of the most faBtastic nights out I have ever enjoyed! What a birthday treat! My love of Hairspray started when I went to see the film with Sparky and Lizzie in 2007. When the film ended, my jaw ached! I started grinning as soon as the music started up for Good Morning Baltimore and did not stop until long after the final notes of Can't stop the beat! So when I opened an envelope on my birthday and saw two tickets to see the London production of Hairspray the Musi... Read Full Story
