Blog Modules on Squidoo
You don't have to be a blogger to add blogs to your lens. Squidoo offers many great blog modules that will enhance the content of your lens.
Each of the blogs below can be found as a ready-to-install module in the Squidoo lensmaking module picker. Simply add it to your lens and create your custom title and description. You can select how many feeds to post, their update times, and how you want them to appear. No coding knowledge necessary.

- Awesome... I didn't know I could add RSS feeds for blogs that aren't mine. But if it's a blog by someone who has no idea who I am or why I'd be feeding their stuff to Squidoo, should I ask their permission first?
