Best Lensographies Ever

So you've decided on the template...now what?

Take a look at your list of lenses. Figure out how best to show them off. Do you have common themes? Can you group them together in a way that makes sense?

Give the readers an understanding of what they are looking at. Help them find lenses that they will be interested in. And add in personal touches...talk about you!

Make sure you not only include your lenses, but your groups too. That is especially important now that groups have been removed from lensmaster pages. If you have a large number of groups you may want to create a separate lens as a "Groupography".

Don't be afraid to add images, polls, videos, the feed to your blog, even items for sale (just don't over do that last one).

Just like on your other lenses, talk about what you know and what you love...and have fun with it!

The Featured Lenses module is a great tool but can be a little tricky to find.

First, in your workshop, click on Add Modules. I'm sure you know that part already. ;)

Click on the Search (A-Z) tab.

Choose F...and then you will see the Featured Lenses option at the top of the list.

You can show up to 5 of your lenses and groups at a time per module. If you add more than 5 the lenses displayed will rotate each time someone views the page.

If you want to have all of your lenses and groups showing at once just keep adding more Featured Lens modules. :)

To add a lens to the module copy & paste in the last part of your lens' URL. If, for example, you wanted to add the lens http://www.squidoo.com/Christene to your module you only need to enter the "Christene" part.

This works for all lens co-brands except for Ever.com lenses. But there is a way to add those too. If your lens was http://best.cameras.ever.com/ you need to use "best-cameras-ever". You are replacing the dots with dashes and make sure to leave off the ".com" at the end.

Groups are also a little different. For a group URL of http://www.squidoo.com/groups/Families you would use "groups/Families" or "groups..Families".
