This is the official squidoo SEO mentor help lens. You can come here with your questions about attracting traffic to your lens, though I hope this lens will help solve many of them out of the box. SEO = Search Engine Optimization In practice SEO can be summed up in two steps: keywords and links. I have a whole lens about keywords, so I will just refer you all there. Building links is a bit more complicated, so most of this lens is about that. See also my blog and free e-book about online mark... Read Full Story

There’s a new addition to the squidoo mentor team, and it’s yours truly I set up the SEO/Marketing mentor lens, though I’ve stayed mostly on the SEO side for this one. Where my original SEO lens was more theory minded, this new lens is much more practical. As in: this is what you should do, never mind why. Read Full Story

Yoga is generally sold online and off as a great stress reliever. I can vouch for that: with the right teacher, yoga can be very healthy emotionally. I’ve often come away from a yoga class with a great big smile on my face that was certainly not there before. However, last week when I was preparing for be my first serious theosophical lecture, and stressing out – and managing my stress – I decided NOT to go to yoga class. Instead I stayed at home, made what physical preparat... Read Full Story

Yoga wordt normaal gesproken gezien als een hulp bij het managen van stress. Ik kan dat bevestigen: met de juiste docent kan yoga heel emotioneel gezond zijn. Op weg terug naar huis heb ik vaak een grote glimlach op mijn gezicht gehad die er daarvoor zeker niet was. Maar toch, toen ik me vorige week op mijn eerste serieuze theosofische lezing aan het voorbereiden was, besloot ik NIET naar yoga te gaan. Ik was druk bezig de laatste voorbereidingen te treffen en mijn stress te reguleren: een b... Read Full Story

I think most of those active on squidu have figured it out by now. Clouda9 is having a rough time. To help her out a bit I thought I’d link some of her second tier lenses here, in hopes that they might become first tier. Read Full Story

I love the new squidquiz theme. I can see myself making a whole series of lenses for each of my religion or spirituality subniches. Today I made the lens that will become my lensography for the whole series – suitably it’s also a squidquiz lens itself: Quiz: Religion facts and trivia. I’ve also made one with Christianity trivia and more niche Krishnamurti trivia and Blavatsky trivia. Read Full Story

I was eating at an Ethiopian restaurant yesterday. For those not familiar with that cuisine, the food is served on thin pancakes and one is supposed to eat one’s dinner with the right hand. For me it was a painful exercise in overcoming my conditionings. The table went quiet: a measure of the concentration we all needed to not eat warm food with knife and fork. We were suddenly fully there: eating. In this post I’m stepping away from the abstract philosophical to the practical eve... Read Full Story

Ik at gisteren in een Ethiopisch restaurant. Voor wie dat niet kent: je krijgt je eten op dunne pannenkoekjes en wordt geacht met je rechterhand te eten. Voor mij een lastige oefening in het overstijgen van je conditioneringen. Het werd ook helemaal stil aan tafel: zoveel concentratie was er nodig om te kunnen eten, gewend als wij allemaal waren aan eten met mes en vork. We waren er opeens helemaal bij: bij dat eten. Na alle discussie de afgelopen week over abstracte filosofische concepten, ... Read Full Story
