Squidoo Lens Cheats: A Little Something for Everyone

I decided to make a Squidoo cheat-sheet. This is my "bookmark" page for lenses, blogs, tools and Squidoo information I find useful.

I also included the first video tutorials I referred to for help building my first lens, Bartending or Bar Tending That is the Question. I believe this information helped me produce better lenses from the beginning.

This cheat-sheet is also my way of giving out a little kudos to some very informative people and helpful sites.

A Squidoo History Lesson 

For Visitors New to Squidoo

Lenses are interactive, and can contain Flickr photos, Google maps, blogs, eBay auctions, YouTube videos, and other links. Squidoo is in the top 200 most visited sites in the world, and in the top 50 most viewed in the United States.Squidoo.com traffic details Alexa.com. It has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charity.
