So You Want To Make A Lensography!

Ranked #2,172 in Squidoo Community, #177,984 overall

If the term Lensography were in the dictionary (which I think it should be) this would be the definition:

1. A lens created about a Lensmaster. 2. A compilation of ones lenses. 3. A definitive guide to who a Lensmaster is, the ultimate "Who of Squidoo". 4. A biography of your lenses.

Sound Interesting? Here's how you can make the best darn Lensography EVER!

Getting Started

A Lensography Is A Window Into Your World!

Creating a Lensography is loads of fun and incredibly important to a dedicated Lensmaster. A Lensography is a window into your world through your lenses. If your lenses are about traveling or crafts or animals or movies that says a lot about who you are!

To me a Lensography is much more then just a simple list of lenses. It's a collage of your life on Squidoo. People are curious by nature and creating a Lensography lets people know who you are and what you're all about!

Getting started is easy. Think about what makes you special, unique and extraordinary! Everybody has a story and this is your chance to shine!

The Extraordinarily Extra-Ordinary Lens About YOU!

Try saying that 5 times fast!

Here's a list of ideas for your lensograhy!
  • Tell people about your hobbies like making sock monkey's, scuba diving, collecting sea glass, building a robot, gardening, painting, restoring cars, cooking...you get the picture! Then link lenses to each hobby.
  • Tell your Squidoo story. Why did you become a lensmaster? What motivates you to keep creating lenses?
  • Create a Family Tree. Tell people abour your heritage: How your Grandfather came here from Italy, your Grandmother's pecan pie recipe, Uncle Joe's run for Mayor, Aunt Helen's job during WWII.
  • Feature your artwork, crafts, auctions, Hey MonkeyBrain debates, business or school.
  • Add your resume. Create an online resume of what you do and add photos or examples of your work.
  • Tell people about your pets.
  • Let people know that you're a Giant Squid, a Squid Angel and showcase if you've had a "Lens of the Day"!
  • Tell people what's in your purse or briefcase.
  • Let them know your Astrological sign and who's your best match.
  • Support a candidate!
  • Are you famous? Were you an extra on Seinfeld? Have you written a book? Did you work for Bill Clinton's campaign? Are you in a Band? Let people know!
  • Organize your lenses into catagories using the "Featured Lenses" Module like Art, Cooking, Hobbies, How-To, Politics and Sports.

Add HTML To Make Your Lensography POP!

Adding HTML to the Text/Write Module really adds to your Lensography. Create a FAQ's Page about yourself and link to your lenses, write a story about your life with links to your lenses, add cool colors, nifty fonts and photos with HTML!

I love using HTML in my lenses and it's not really that hard to do! Visit Basic HTML for Squidoo by N376 to learn more!
