Kate Phizackerley's Squidoo lenses

A compendium of Kate's Squidoo lenses

This is my personal lens showcasing the material I have produced on Squidoo. As I have started to author more and more lenses, I needed a good way to keep track of them, and to help my readers find any of my lenses which might interest them. This lens is the result.

It's not entirely complete: there are so many lenses on some subjects that I created separate lensopgraphies just for that subject. I have also omitted some profile lenses and some lenses which are largely redundant. I also now have a very special lensography which features just my Purple Star lenses.

Actuarial

At present there is just one lens, but if it seems to be a success, then it will become part of a series.

Pensions Actuary

I left university with a maths degree and started work as an student pensions actuary. It was a great first job. Although I didn't qualify, I made partner in a top actuarial firm. If you don't know what a pensions actuary does, read on to find out. I...

Ancient Egypt

Atenism is perhaps the first recorded instance of a state-sponsored monotheistic religion. It's important for all those interested in the history of Judaeism and Christianity.

Ancient Egypt - Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of the Nile at Luxor in Egypt is the burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs and many of thier queens and senior officials.

Animals

When I write about animals my fun side tends to show and I am often more interested in playfulness of cuddly kittens than a sober description of diet or mating habbits. My Wonderful Elephants lens is a great example of what I mean and one of my favourite lenses.

Wonderful Elephants

Elephants are such wonderful, clever animals. Look at what they can do in these photos. This lens by Kate Phizackerley is full of wonderful pictures of elephants doing amazing things. This is a very light-heartened lens for the young and the young-a...

Debates

Lenses filed here could be categorised in their own subjects, but they are lenses which ask questions andI prefer to think of them as a separate set of debate lenses. If they are relevant to one of the other categories, they will be linked from lenses withing that category anyway.

SEO is Dead?

English Cathedral Organs

This is a mini series that will grow but is low priority so enjoy those I have written so far!

Highland Dancing and Music

I'll gradually add lenses to this series. I like the sound of bagpipes - just as I like the sound of organs. It's the deep harmonics from the drone I think.

History of Computing

I bought a BBC Micro as soon as they could produce colour output. The first time I was ever paid for my wriiting was an assembler language BASIC IDE which was published in Personal Computer World.

Lenses as Image Stores

As the traffic to my lenses increases, providing bandwidth for images I use on Squidoo was becoming a potential issue. The answer though is simple - create lenses to hold the inages I use and <img src ...> them in from there. The lens, "Using a Lens as an Image Store" explains how to do this, and is an image store - the other lenses in this section are mainly image stores. That doesn't stop them being valuable lenses in their own right - a good collection of images is a perfect recipe for creating a great lens!

You might also want to check out the Artwork section of this lensography as some of my orginal artwork I use on Squidoo is hosted in those lenses.

Icons I Love

Chanel No 5 day-to-day and work

Sport

A fairly sparse topic. I follow some support but there are bigger sports fans than me out there and they generally have saved me the trouble is writing a lens about a sport, a team or sportsman or woman. Occassionally I spot a gap and write something though.
