SquidCasting Squidoo Groups
OLD INTRODUCTION:
The SquidCast is a wonderful way of getting the word out about new things happening at your lens, and it would be ideal to be able to SquidCast your groups, but this tool is not available for groups...or is it? Indeed, there IS a way to SquidCast your group, with this handy little work-around. Learn how to get the word out about what YOUR group is up to with a SquidCast.
So Here's the Secret to SquidCasting Groups
How to Announce Your Group Activities
Here is the secret:
Being already signed into squidoo, enter this address into the address bar, replacing groupname with that of your group:
http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/squidcast/groups..groupname
It is as simple as that! This address will bring you to the familiar SquidCast page that you are know and love. Your group picture will appear perfectly when squidcasted, just as if it was a lens.
Keep in mind that your SquidCast of your group goes to your Fan Club, not the list of the group's members.
