Angel Blessings for Dogs on Squidoo

Your Biography This is so important that not many will bless a lens where this is not completed. You need to tell us who you are, a bit of your background, possibly where you live, and so on. Also a picture either of yourself or what is called an Avatar, an image that will identify you to everyone. Please also activate your contact email as people like me might just need to send you a note occasionally about your lens, how to improve it or whether or not it has been awarded a purple star or better.

Photographs A lens is a masterpiece thanks to the tools that Squidoo provides. Get to know how to use those tools to your advantage. Make use of good images in the introduction and text modules. Every image must tell a story related to the theme of the lens. If you are publishing those of someone else then please credit the source, even if it is from a free site or the public domain. If they are from the same source then you only need to do this once.

The Text Not everyone has English as their first language and if this is you then try to get some help, usually from the Critique forum or from one of the senior Squids. Ask them to read over it and check for grammar mistakes, as that is the worst one. Syntax is also important as how you phrase a sentence can have a bearing on the understanding of what you are implying. e,g. 'The man bit the dog' is completely different to 'the dog bit the man'.

Table of Contents When I first built a lens I did not even know what that was. It is referred to as TOC and it was not long before I learned the importance of having a Site Map, another term for it, at the top of your page. Its rather like when you open a book and look at the index. It indicates whether or not the contents are worth reading.

Module Headings Every module uses a default heading which you must change. Here is you opportunity to use keywords to introduce this section of your lens. The wording should be kept to a minimum and each module address a separate issue within the subject, if possible.

Guestbook Yes, it is essential to have a place where your visitors can respond to your lens. Did they like it? Will it make a difference in their life? Does it impact on their thinking? and so on. People love to tell you and you must let them. Read my lens on Building a lens

We all have different ideas about pet care and some more experience than others. But what do we share in common if not the love of thse gorgeous creatures? Whether pampered, tolerated, yard dogs, guard dogs or other, they are all needing our care. Admittedly some go overboard with what they turn their pets into.

Dogs are now treated to clothes that imitate those of children. Well, a dog is like a child and little dogs are like babies, so why not dress them up? But the fashions can go overboard, after all a boss dog should not exactly look like the agressive business man - should he? Well. perhaps we should ask what next?

Many squids make lovely lenses on crafts with animal themes. They are not always dog only related but some are interchangeable with our canine friends and they deserve a place here.

Here I am, so what's my name. Pet names are so varied and elaborate or just so simple and short that it is hard to pick just the right name for your lovely new member of the family.
