I am a Squid Angel - Here are them whom I've Blessed.
This is a list of lenses blessed by me during the month of May 2009.
Each Squid Angel gets assigned to 5 of Squidoo's categories. Squidoo has 32 categories. Of those, the 5 which I have been assigned to are:
> # Arts
> # Cars & Trucks
> # Movies & TV
> # Music
> # Work At Home
So, what does this mean for you? What it means is, that while I can bless any lens I happen to come across, I have been assigned to certain areas of Squidoo, and am supposed to be focusing most of my attention to those areas, and seeing to it that they don't get over run with Spamand Squid Don'ts, while helping the good stuff float to the top for every one to see.
With this in mind, it should thus not surprise you if you notice that I am blessing more lenses from these categories, than the other 26 categories. My goal is to bless at least 2 lenses for each of the above 5 categories, each day, more if possible. To track my goal, I have created this lens, and divided it by six sections: Art, Cars & Trucks, Movies & TV, Music, Work At Home, and Other.
Some days I may be just picking lenses at random, while other days I may decide on a "topic of the day" and look for lenses about that topic. For example on Christmas Day I may set out to blessing lenses with a Christmas theme -- something like that. I've no idea what days I'll decide to do "theme searching" or when I'll choose what topic for that day's theme, but if anyone has any themes to suggest I feature just leave a comment to let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.
I'm loving this being a Squid Angel, it's like every day I get to go on a savager hunt and I never know what great things I'll find.
I will do my best to provide you with a mix of the best lenses throughout all 32 categories. Be sure to visit each of these lenses to find out why I blessed them! My goal here is to show what makes a well made lens, by showing you a variety of well made lenses, in hopes that we well see even more lenses like these in the future.

A quick run down of things:
I find a lot of lenses via FaceBook's Squidoo Connect, so if you want me to see your lens, the best thing to do is just create great lenses and be sure to send a ping to FaceBook after updating it.
The tags you use are very important. I do a lot of searching, both on Squidoo's search box and on Google. If you are using a tag that is the same as the keyword I searched for, than I'll find your lens. I also find lots of lenses via the "explore related lenses" feature on my own lenses. Your lens will only show up in that box, if you put tags on your lens. Your lens needs tags to show up in the search result on both Squidoo and Google. I can't find your lens if there are no tags on it, so be certain to tag you lens!
I also find a lot of lenses by reading lensographies. I list lensographies as I find them, on The Lensography Index, so that I have a way to get back to them again. If you have a lensography and I haven't added it to the index yet, just let me know.
Every time you create a new lens, the Angels get an email telling them there's a new lens out there. Each new lens gets sent out to the Angels, depending on what category the Angel is in charge of. Several of the lenses I've featured here, were blessed only minutes/hours after they were created, as a result, and a few of them were created by brand new lensmasters. So keep making new lenses.
I wrote a very long and detailed lens about what I look for in lenses to bless -- will probably take you an hour or more to read -- but basically it boils done to this:
># Love your topic.
># Write what you know.
># Change default module titles.
># Add pictures.
># Fill out your lensmaster profile information.
># Make sure your sales modules and affiliate banners are on-topic to your lens subject
># Spell to the best of your ability, but don't worry too much about it
># Have something you want to say and say it.
># Ask yourself: Who is my reader and what do I want to tell them?
># Keep updating and improving

Got a lens (or know of one by someone else) you think should be blessed? Post it here and I'll stop by and check it out.
I love comments. Like one of these lenses? Just want to say hi? Go ahead and leave comments.
You know what else I like? Links! I'm one of the few lensmasters you will find who requests links in comments! If you have a lens you think is as good as or better than the lens on this list (thus making it worthy of being blessed!), feel free to leave a link to it. I am constantly adding other people's lenses as featured lenses on my own.
Be sure to read my How To Be Sure Your Lens is Ready for a Blessing lens, to find out what I look for!
PS: Don't forget to leave a star rating too. (See top of lens page). Thanks!
Got an idea you'd like to suggest for a lens? I'd love to hear it! I'm constantly creating new lenses and updating my old ones.
