Get in on the action - Choose next week's winning lens
Calling all Squids! Want to pick a winner? Follow these two simple rules (three if you are a member of Boomers Rock)!1) Pick a lens from this list (except mine, 'cause that would be a little weird), then hop back to the BBLOTW plexo just below this module to vote.
2) Enter your nominee exactly as shown in the plexo example, or I'll have to boot it, which would pain me deeply.
3) Boomers Rock! members only: To keep the Squidoo love flowin' both directions, nominate any member lens but your own.
