Was It Hard to Get Around Squidoo?

What was the hardest? How you worked it out?

From the lens Fresh Squid Graduation Class December 2008.

    Not really. My limited html knowledge was enough to get me out the gate, and the number of lenses where folks who have serious knowledge about both html and html on Squidoo was more than sufficient. I still have not been able to use everything I have learned -- but in the future, when I build out more lenses, I'm sure it will all come in handy.

    The hardest thing to understand was using html in squidoo. On other web pages I've worked on, there are usually some tabs to do simple things like bold, enlarge the text, change text color, add links, etc. Or there's a tab to go to the html code and make changes there. There are some great squidoo lenses on with html code, but none explained where to put the code. Finally, I just put some html tags before and after some text I was typing. I saved the module, and my text was bolded like I wanted! Sometimes the simplest things throw you.

    It really isn't hard to get around Squidoo. Literally hundreds of lenses by masters with tons of information and advice. The forums are also very helpful, wheather just reading or seeking more detailed help. So take time to do both.

    No, I thought it was relatively easy to learn my way around. I think the most challenging thing about creating lenses--other than coming up with what I hope is worthwhile, well-written content--was learning to use pictures in a variety of ways ... not to mention do so "legally."

    More to do with using html as I'd never used it before (there are plenty of useful lenses to help you out though)
