Thanks for all this information. It's very helpful for newbies like me. I wonder if somebody is using Picasa to upload pictures and then post them in Squidoo. I have not seen a lens where they refer to Picasa, which is a free program from Google. .

in reply to Agrimony I use my lensmaster profile as the main url and then add additional lenses by "add/edit websites" tab in my account. By doing this you can track sales for each individual lens.

What is the main url one would use for Squidoo to sign up at All Posters or such? Thanks and I added you to my favorites!
