    I truly enjoyed reading your articles on squidoo. What a great teacher we have here! Thumbs up and thanks for sharing.

    I have not tried any of those templates. I just stick to the regular squidoo one. I will try some of these as they seem interesting.

    Favorited this for a reminder on what all there is, though there's SquidPaws now too! I wish I'd known about some of these, like SquidBoo before making lenses.

    Extremely useful lens. Favorited and also bookmarked in my regular list. Sure wish I'd seen this lens before I made a couple of mine that would have fit into specific categories (some will allow you to add your existing lens, others -- like SquidBook -- require that you create the lens within the template. Darn. Now I know where to look for updates... (Oh -- blessed, btw...)

    This is very informative lens. It is just what i was looking for..

    Great resource. Like some of the other folks who commented, I think that the specialty lenses could be packaged and marketed better during the lens creation process. 6 star blessing!
  • CherylK Oct 23, 2009 @ 3:00 pm | delete
    Very useful...I wish they'd put all of the templates available in one spot...like when you want to create a lens, you should be able to choose which template you'd like to use. Until they do, I'll pull from your list! Thanks.

    What a great introduction to the cobranded lenses! I really appreciated this, because I was a little confused!

    A lot of great info here! Thanks for organizing this. Saved it for reference.

    This is an amazing lens. I have only created five lenses on the week I have been here so learning about this early on is great. Excellent work! I'm saving this one!!!

    Very insightful thanks...I had been wondering why some lenses appeared different to others...now I know
    Thanks again

    I've been here a year and just noticed some lenses were different from others, this really helped me. I've bookmarked it. Thank you!

    Great and clear information
  • Comfortdoc Jan 26, 2009 @ 1:28 pm | delete
    Angel Blessings. Great job of coming up with an overview on the different lens types. I think the Squidknol is pretty much defunct now.
  • Snozzle Jan 19, 2009 @ 11:46 am | delete
    Wow! You've opened my eyes to a whole new Squidoo world. Must now try and be more adventurous with my lenses. Thansk for this 5* lens.

    Thanks so much for the extra blessing and kind words. I worked hard on this lens.
  • XP Jan 9, 2009 @ 10:25 pm | delete
    You've been blessed again ... this is such a great addition to Squidoo!
  • EverythingMouse Nov 17, 2008 @ 6:49 pm | delete
    An excellent summary of the different lens types. I tend not to make any using the different templates but I do have a couple of 'ever' and one Monkey Brain lens. But I prefer to stick with the 'usual' format as I am now so familiar with it and I prefer the over all look of it.

    You have been Blessed by a Squid Angel

    Great work! It is kind of tought to find the lens templates sometimes. I have to either find a lens under that template or google the lens template name, but not anymore. Thanks!

    Excellent lens. I didn't know about all the different types of lenses apart from ever.com. Great information and I can see why it took you such a long time to create.

    What an Excellent Lens! I didn't know half of these existed. -

    What a shame; I just have built a Halloween Lens. It could have gone in SquidBoo.

    A lot of work has gone into your Lens and it is an excellent resource for someone like myself!

    Favourite, 5 stars, and bookmarked :)
