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.
