Update
February 18th, 2008
The site is a little slow at catching up with this new addition, so if you see empty dates or 'unknown' types, try republishing your lenses and come back to SquidUtils after an hour or so.
I also need your input - please tell me if any part of the website is unclear or needs more explanation. I'm very concious of the fact that there is not much text or advice there to read, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Update
December 7th, 2007
PageRank: Unfortunately, Google don't allow me to lookup PageRank any more, so that information has been removed.
Advanced Dashboard: There are two new sort options: by Date and by Category. Each line in the table has been cleaned up, and some of the functions have been moved to the Edit Toolbar. If you're new, then the category sort might not work for a few minutes.
Edit Toolbar: This is now bigger, and sits of the left of the Lens Workshop. There are some new features, most noteably the Full Lens Info and the links to searches on Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Lensmaster Feeds: All of the lenses in the feed come with the date they were last updated, and the category they belong to.
Search Google: You can use Google to find lenses or groups, without all that other rubbish getting in the way...
Various other improvements and modifications have been implemented, and you should find that the site runs quicker than it did before. Of course, there may be a few bugs hiding in the system, so if you come across any oddities, please let me know. Some odd behaviour can be fixed by logging out and back in.
