How do I view or edit my lens?

Welcome to Squidoo! At Squidoo, we're all about quality, that's why we give you a chance to finish your lens before showing it to the world. If your lens isn't finished yet, when you try to view it, you'll see an "Under Construction" sign. This lets readers know the lens is in progress, and will be visible once it's published.

Why do I get an "Under Construction" message? 

If you've started a lens, but have never published it (not even once) it will show up as "under construction." The only thing you need to do to get it to show is to publish it!

We've recently redesigned the workshop so in your "edit" screen, a lens looks much like it will once it's published, so go ahead, take some time, and perfect the details. When you're ready to send it out into the world, go ahead and click that big yellow PUBLISH button.

(While "publish" is forever, you can ALWAYS edit it. In fact, we encourage it!)

But I HAVE published my lens...

If you have published your lens, and are still seeing the "under construction" message, it's likely because your browser is trying to cheat. It's using old information to load the page quickly. To solve this clear your cache, and refresh your browser. You should now be able to see your lens.
