John Dilbeck Loves Being a Lensmaster on Squidoo
I have a wide range of interests and very limited time, so that means I have a long list of lenses I want to create whenever I can.
One of the things you may not know about me is that I have a gift for building websites, forums, and lenses that don't seem to interest anyone but me, but ya gotta be who you are.
I'm going to try to organize the lenses I've already built and list them here on this lensography page, but it won't be easy. I have a wide-ranging and eclectic set of interests.
I would be building many more lenses if I didn't have so many other websites to manage, so I'm going to add a section for my other sites, even though they may not strictly belong on a lensography.
I hope you find something you like on at least one of these lenses, and I welcome your comments and suggestions. Please feel free to rank the lenses, vote in the Plexo lists, and favorite any you like.
Act on your dream!
JD
Help spread the word...
Share this lens with your friends
Part of what makes Squidoo such a special place is the ease with which we can make friends and share what we find with others.
I hope you'll help spread the word about this lens to your friends.
Thank you.

Shops and Stores Lenses
I earn most of my income in this way with my CafePress shop, but it's not the only one that brings commission checks my way.
Here are some lenses about some of the shops and stores I've built or am currently building.
- Custom T-Shirts
- Most people -- well, most cool people -- love t-shirts. If you don't love t-shirts, then, by definition, you are obviously not cool. Really cool people not only wear t-shirts, they create them, design them, collect them, sell them, and personalize them for a one-of-a-kind, unique artistic creation....
- Promote Your CafePress Store
- CafePress is a great way to sell your designs, music, books, and other original creations. You provide the content and CafePress handles the production and sales. For example, in my John Dilbeck's Shirts, Mugs, and Hats store, I have a lot of mostly text designs that are sold on, well, shirts, mugs, hats, and other items...
- John Dilbeck's Shirts, Mugs, and Hats
- Welcome to John Dilbeck's CafePress store! The good thing is that I have quite a few designs and products I think you are going to like. The bad news is that it is an eclectic mix that is difficult to describe in a few words. I invite you to browse Shirts-Mugs-Hats.com and look for products that interest you....
John Dilbeck's Lulu Store
- Act On Your Dream! Spring 2008
- Act On Your Dream! Spring 2008 by John Dilbeck - This is the Spring 2008 edition of John Dilbeck's Act On Your Dream! newsletter, featuring an article about Jennifer Ledbetter who is also known as... ( 4 pages ) Download: $0.00

Music and Musicians Lenses
Here's a few of the folks I listen to.
If only I had more time to make more lenses about all the musicians who have improved the quality of my life. Sigh.
- Dolly Parton
- What can you say about Dolly Parton? I love her and I love what she has accomplished. Dolly grew up as a poor country girl with a bouncy personality and a gift for music. She has written hundreds of songs in her life and I'd be surprised if you don't like at least a few of them - or most of them!
- Jimmy Buffett
- Jimmy Buffett has been one of my favorite entertainers for almost three decades. I fell in love with his music the first time I heard Margaritaville and I've enjoyed almost all of his songs since then. If you are a fellow parrothead, here are some links to items you'll enjoy. Tell us your experiences...
- Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
- For more than three decades, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been one of my favorite musical groups. Their album, 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,' quickly became one of my favorites, and I've worn out at least a dozen cassette tapes and 8-track tapes before I finally got a CD version of the album....
- Play Music
- Many years ago, when I was still a teenager, I managed to buy a guitar. There was nobody to teach me how to play it, so I listened to the radio and taught myself to pick the melody as I listened to a variety of Rock and Country songs. It was years later that I bought some books on how to play a guitar...
Drag Racing Lenses
I've loved drag racing since I was in high school and my brother is even more of a fan than I am.
A few years ago, as a birthday present, I gave him a website so he could write about drag racing in Georgia. It's success has astounded both of us.
Now, due to his disability and pain, he can work on the site only sporadically, but we've managed to capture a lot of information about the people who drag raced in Georgia and where they did it.
- Georgia Drag Racing
- Information about Georgia drag racing history, personalities, activities and events. GeorgiaDragRacing.com
David Dilbeck, a lifetime fan of drag racing in Georgia, is the editor of the site.
Favorite Holidays!

Independence Day Firecracker

On July 4th, 1776, our founding fathers formally adopted the Declaration of Independence from England. Over the next several days, the Declaration was signed and the United States of America took on a new life of its own. Now, we celebrate Independ...
Invented Holidays Lenses
We want more days off work!
This is just the first holiday I plan to invent. I'm open to suggestions.
- Intergalactic Cyber Hugs Day
- I have friends around the world that I've never seen, and yet we exchange cyber hugs on a regular basis, especially when we need a bit of cheering up.
Today is the first day of spring, 2008, and it brings a smile to my face and a warm feeling, too. The long winter is coming to an end and we can look...
Blogging Lenses
I am, therefore I blog!
- Success With Blogging
- Blogging can be a public outlet for teenaged angst, a free way to keep an online diary, an inexpensive way to promote your band, or a profit-making vehicle for advertising your business. You can blog about whatever interests you, and you can attract an audience of a few dozen or millions, depending...
Traditional Holidays Lenses
I started with this one...
- Witches and Halloween
- Look up there! It's a witch riding her broomstick across the face of the moon! Whether you think of witches like the sexy Samantha on Bewitched or the crook-nosed Wicked Witch of the West on The Wizard of Oz, witches are an integral part of celebrating and decorating for Halloween. Boo!

I've created several groups on Squidoo and here they are...-

Quite the resume you have here. I only have 5 lenses but I'm getting there. Slowly but surely just like the hare. 5 stars and a fan!
Come and check out my Daycare Schoollens. It's not the top rated lens yet but with a little more work hopefully it will be. Good luck to you (as if you really need it)..... You're brilliant!

Glad to know ya! I am trying to learn guitar (harder than I thought at changing cords). Two of my three teen sons are trying too. I sing classic country and some older rock on karaoke and I love western NC and vow to make it there one day (are there any good karaoke venues there?)!

You've done this a bit differently; I like that and it's very comprehensive and interesting. Great model for others! (I see there are several places where I need to look for you now.)

I'm going to have to spend a lot of time going through your lenses so I can feature them on a few of mine - like my Blogging Tips lens, and the Squidoo Traffic one where I keep a lot of links to social media information. It looks like we have a lot in common. :)
