Stop and say hi!

From the lens HTML for Squidoo Themes.



I know, it's a lot of information packed into one lens and you have a list of other things you're trying to accomplish, too.

Take it at your own pace and remember, you can simply copy and paste what you need to help get those lenses out!

You can't catch any fish until you put the line in the water!

    Thank you, you have taught me soooo much, and I haven't yet learned a fraction of what I need to know!

    Very helpful lens, thank you. I am slowly learning how to get more proficient at adding HTML to my lenses.

    This looks like what I was looking for, too. Great ideas! It will take awhile to try out all of these, but what fun!

    I have been procrastinating about embellishing my lenses, now with all those tips, I should start to work at it.
    Thanks.

    Another very helpful lens, thank you!

    P.S.:
    I can catch many fish by dropping dynamite in the water!
  • Sojourn Oct 5, 2011 @ 3:46 pm | delete
    LOL! Yes, but then you just end up with charred fish-bits instead of whole fish. Although, that might do for a salad. ;) Glad you liked the lens!

    Thank you so much for the design tips and instruction. I hope to start beautifying my lenses now. :)

    This is something I've been looking for. I found it, but it might take a few trips back to this page to get a better understanding. Thanks a bunch, Carol

    We can all use this information.

    This is an excellent resource! Thanks for sharing this great information
  • nancycarol Aug 31, 2011 @ 2:01 pm | delete
    This lens is marvelous, but I have such a problem using all these things, I don't really know why. Once I get the html plugged in, then I can't put anything content on it. If I put the content in first, the html hides the content. I know I'm doing something wrong but can't figure it out. I would love to have all this stuff for my lenses. Thanks for sharing, and I'll give it another try.
  • jseven Aug 31, 2011 @ 12:30 pm | delete
    You have great tutorials and have save me hours of learning this stuff on my own. Congrats!

    I've been here before, but had to return to tell you lensmasters are asking the very same questions (about HTML for Squidoo Themes) you explain so wonderfully here and I've passed on the link to this lens for them. Also, I LIVE by your HTML Borders and Backgrounds lens - I couldn't make a new lens without all the valuable information and HTML codes you present. Your "Squidoo Tips" are invaluable, particularly for those of us who still consider ourselves "baby squids". Thank you!
  • JoyfulPamela Nov 18, 2009 @ 7:34 pm | delete
    Thank you for making it much easier to understand HTML. My lenses really need this sort of touch up.
  • WordCustard Nov 6, 2009 @ 4:45 pm | delete
    So much fantastic information - I'll definitely be back. This was a great recommendation from Laddoo in the Fresh Wonders group.
  • crosscreations Oct 20, 2009 @ 8:36 pm | delete
    WOW! This is one AMAZING lens, could spend hours just playing with these. THANKS so much for creating this... 5 * s, A ...and saved, I'll be back.
  • Wednesday_Elf Oct 17, 2009 @ 1:47 pm | delete
    Great group of resources. I'd wondered about the various Squidoo themes. This lens shows some good examples of where and when to use a specific theme. Thanks for all this info.

  • a_willow Aug 2, 2009 @ 11:11 pm | delete
    This should really be very useful to all those who have trouble with html - like an easy access library to all themes! Wonderful layout as well! But that is something I could expect, right? :)
