    Write like you talk. Don't try to sound like an encyclopedia - they're boring anyway. it's ok to use slang if it's understandable or you can explain a vague term. I saw a lens that mentioned using contractions - two words joined by an apostrophe. They make the reading much easier and that's (<- there's one now!) probably the way you speak anyway.

    Just enjoy this world, take good rest & update your lens regularly. Traffic will grow slowly but steadily.

    Keep belief in yourself. Learn more by reading more. update your lenses regularly.

    Visit other peoples lenses and the forum. You will learn faster by doing so.

    Write informative lenses that share a bit of knowledge and include some of yourself in each and every lens. And I second the purple star lenses.

    I'm glad to know you don't have a secret relationship with Google, although many of us wish you did!

    Thanks you answered some of my random questions here. I did not know there was a cap on how many lenses you could make or have in your WIP if you weren't a giant squid!

    Find Purple Star lenses and study them. What do you like about them? What makes them easy to read? What kind of modules do they use? How are they organized? What features do they all (or almost all) have in common? How are they different? How do they use HTML?

    Thank you for this information, learned some new things and got some explanations. Thanks!
