The Chaotic Good Angel

Azrael was an Archangel, which meant that he was an Angel of the highest order. He was so soft spoken, unobtrusive and meticulous in his work of the studies of disposition of human souls, the few of the other Archangels could say they really knew him.

Above all, Azrael was considered to be the kindest of all Archangels.

Azrael discovered something in his studies that no other Angel knew. He solved the mystery of why some souls went to heaven and some did not. Azreal uncovered the fact that souls that did not make it to heaven were weighed down by their selfishness. This lead him to instruct those Angels in his service to teach mortals not to fear death, that death was a only transformation.

The great Archangel Azrael was mortified of the fact that damned souls were subjected to eternal suffering in the form of torture while they endured their eternal stay in Hell. He couldn't come to grips with the fact that these souls were damned for all time because of transgressions during their short stint as mortals.

Azrael began a secret project. He began sneaking into Hell and seeking out those souls that might be converted in to selflessness. He was ministering to the souls in hopes to make them acceptable to Heaven.

There were elements in Heaven who began snooping into Azrael's business. These elements were starting to get a hint of what The Angel Of Death was up to and they began a movement against him. The complaint lodged against Azrael was that what he was doing was going against the accepted norms. Souls condemned forever were to remain in Hell for all of eternity.

To avoid any hardship and hamstringing of his great cause, Azrael saw that the only way he could continue his project was to become an Outcast. Thus, he banished himself from Heaven so that he could continue saving souls and serve God.

I will always believe that content is king. Rich, genuine, convincing content that offers a solution is what we all crave and desire. I hate blinking neon lights and blaring horns.

The role of Squid Angel goes deeper than the blessing and dinging. We have the responsibilities to uphold the Terms Of Service (TOS) at Squidoo. We are charged with the task to point out spam. It is our deepest concern to teach.

Want Dinged?

A flagrant and bold violation of Squidoo TOS will get you dinged quicker than I can hit the back key.

If I feel that your lens is less than par, I will write you and give my suggestions. In most cases I will find another Angel to take a peek to confirm my findings. Once we agree, and the suggestions are made, I'll come back and take another look. I promise.

I won't ding for minor typos or grammar miscues, lord knows I ain't no proofreader, but if I stammer as I read your lens you'll get a ding if I come back after making suggestions and no corrections are made.

What Am I looking For?

Basically, I want to be convinced. I want to feel the content. I want to be entertained. I don't want to scan a page. I want to reach for my wallet. I want to slap my knee. I want to argue. I want to sit back and be at a loss for words.

Guestbooks or some kind of reader feedback are way cool. They provide some benchmarking as to how engaging your content is, but in some cases I can understand why they are not installed; Business lenses and resumes come to mind.

A self generated avatar exhibits a motivation to let us know a bit about yourself. Avatars are the front line of personal branding.

Don't get too fancy with HTML. I said too. Make the page handsome, but not intrusive.

Provide a solution. Even if it is just a laugh.

BE CONFIDENT! Not cocky or arrogant, just confident. Lead me to your content, don't be afraid of my reaction to it.
