Our Guidelines:
The aim of Four Seasons is to instruct and share ideas and information about the days and months of the year. To make sure that our lenses are of the highest quality, we do have some standards that we wish to maintain.
Here are some of the things we look for:
1) Lenses should contain at least two original written content modules that are related to our topic. We want to read about monthly news and ideas!
2) Lensmasters should have a detailed profile with Contact Me enabled. Remember that no one can view your email address directly.
To learn more about joining groups on Squidoo, visit Squid Etiquette. For ideas on how to create super, successful lenses, visit some of our recommended help lenses in the sidebar.
All lenses that are accepted into Four Seasons are reviewed and rated, as well as featured here on the HQ page.
Don't forget to check out some group lenses and join in the Group Discussion!

Spring is my favorite season of the year. Perhaps because that is when I was born.
