Which lenses of Jaguar Julie's are LOTD -- lenses of the day? And how can I have one too?
Well, thanks for dropping by my lens that showcases my 3 LOTDs -- lenses of the day. Yes, I've been honored on 3 separate occasions to have a lens of the day. Those have come over the past 3 years of being a member of Squidoo and authoring over 445 lenses! My very first LOTD came well before I was a Giant Squid or member of the Giant Squid 100 Club! So, it is possible to get a LOTD as a newbie.
I love Squidoo and have loved this place since March 2006. With all the social networking platforms and TMI, that's an eternity in internet time. For those who know me through my various Squidoo lenses, you've probably heard that I came to Squidoo through BzzAgent!
Have you had a LOTD yet?
If you haven't, don't give up ... it CAN happen!
Trust me, I was more than a little HONORED and SURPRISED when I spotted my Superhero tribute lens showcasing my grandmother, Julia Nagy had earned LOTD on my birthday of all days!
Check out who's got the latest LOTD!

Julia Nagy -- My Grandmother, Namesake and Superhero

Thinking about the 'superheroes' in my life, the very first person that comes to mind is my grandmother! First of all, my grandmother was my namesake -- I was named in honor of my grandmother! And, I can't think of a day that goes by that I do NOT th...
LOTD #2 :: the FIRST Lensography?
Yes, my lensography is the first lensography to earn the humble honor of LOTD. The week that I won was followed by other cool lensmaster's lensographies winning LOTDs!
Thank you Squidoo and all my readers, fans, and supporters!

March 7, 2008 :: Jaguar Julie Lensography
My favorite kinds of lenses are the ones we at Squidoo never imagined people making--and the ones that wind up spreading through the community faster than the beer runs out on St. Patricks Day.
I don't remember who made the first Lensography lens, but what a cool way to set up your own Squidoo Hall of Fame. It's kind of like a resume that ate its Wheaties.
Shortly after the first one appeared, there were 10 more. And 10 more. And now hundreds of our top lensmasters have Lensographies to highlight and annotate their bodies of work here on Squidoo.
I'll be featuring a few of them this week. For starters, check out Jaguar Julie's Lensography. She's got 303 lenses (303!!), and this page is not only a neat way to categorize some of those... it's also a stunning testament to the whole Giant Squids program. When quality AND quantity intersect, you've got something pretty remarkable on your hands. Jaguar Julie is the consummate Giant: curious, eager to experiment with new tools, passionate and gracious. --Posted March 11th, 2008 by Megan Casey.

Jaguar Julie -- Lensography of a WAHWW

Yes, you may think of Jaguar Julie as a WAHW -- a work at home workaholic and a WAHWW -- a work at home wonder woman! In my lensography, I hope to answer the question of who Jaguar Julie is as inquiring minds want to know! First of all, what is a len...

LOTD #1 :: A migraine headache
I waited 1 year before I created this lens as I wanted to be sure to have all my facts and present an accurate story.
The LOTD announced in the Squidoo Blog
June 8, 2006 :: To Catch A Thief
Julie first came to Squidoo through an experiment we did with BzzAgent (inviting their volunteer word-of-mouth agents to make lenses about their favorite things).
Since then she has created dozens of really fascinating perspectives on a unique range of interests.
One such lens (in addition to her Polka Dots lens and one on Goulash--yes, Goulash!) is today's Lens of the Day: To Catch A Thief.
I'll let the lens intro tell you what this one's about:
"In June 2005, I was the victim of identity theft and credit card fraud that put my world into a tizzy for quite some time. Unless this has happened to you, you just can't imagine what a headache it can be with all the steps you have to take to clear up the mess...In this lens, I hope to give you a clue to what you can do if it happens to you. I will give you tips on what worked for me "To Catch a Thief" in a very short period of time."
I hope no one will ever need this lens, but when you do, I'm betting you'll be grateful to Julie for sharing! --Posted June 8th, 2006 by Megan Casey.

OMG, I sure hope I don't need this again ...
You know, if this happens to me again ... not only will I know what to do, but I may just have to grab my frying pan and go after the bad guys!

Julie I just wanted to drop by and say that since I joined Squidoo six months ago I have come across many lovely Lensmasters who stand out in their own special way. You are one of those Lensmasters who have inspired me, not only because you write such brilliant lenses, that we can all learn from but because of the way you encourage and support everyone.
I too have had 3 LOTDs and am very proud of the award. I am also proud to share that distinction with you. However, I have only published 25 lenses and have a long way to go before I can even hope to match what you have achieved on Squidoo. You are a true Giant and a credit to the Squidoo community.

Nice job. 3 LOTDs. Someday, maybe I can get one. Thanks for being my first fan!

How'd that lens get selected LOTD???
Every weekday (or nearly that) Squidoo's Editor in Chief, Megan Casey, highlights a lens that stands out from the crowd, a lens that is unique in topic, approach, personality, tools or timing. Or, you know, just a lens that made her guffaw a little.
Footnote: LOTD
If you write passionately about something that is meaningful to you, you are more apt to have a LOTD.
I love my Amazon Kindle!
Hmmm, I wonder if a lens on the Kindle will be a LOTD?
