Inspiring Dashboard messages in squidoo
Ranked #4,524 in Squidoo Community, #324,111 overall | Donates to Inner-City Scholarship Fund
Just fun
This is likely to be one of those squidoo lenses that gets loads of votes, and a few visitors at first, and then lingers somewhere at the bottom of my list of lenses. But I thought I'd make it anyhow.
In tribute to the fun atmosphere at squidoo and in celebration of making the Giant Squid Top 100 club :) (in January 2009)
So what is this lens? It's a collection of the great greeting messages squidoo shows us lensmasters when we are logged in and looking at our dashboards.
Here are the dashboard messages I collected.
I replaced my personal name with 'lensmaster' - but these messages are even more effective because they do use our first name to address us. Makes it very personal.

What they do...
I'm sure these dashboard welcome messages are one of the reasons the atmosphere at squidoo is usually so upbeat and friendly. They set the tone - a tone that is consistent with other ways in which Squidoo HQ communicates with lensmasters.
Tips they give us on the dashboard

- Hi Squidoo,
I suggest that there should be a Provision of Box for Inserting Photos in the Contents,
and also for Theme Colours While submitting articles to Squidoo. People may
avoid copying colour Text. It would be convenient for Authors to submit articles
with Color fonts of their choice and submit images whereever the text requires. Thx

- The dashboard messages are always so much fun, and, sometimes, I agree, inspiring -- as in, encouraging us with a touch of humor - the best way to learn and remember! I agree with luvmyludwig, the capcha words are often extremely amusing and often they practically 'match' the subject of the story I'm reading or the message I'm leaving :).
