    Hallo Frankie,
    'm so glad I found this lens....I was just about to expire with information from too many sources. I am working on my first lens on a health topic that I feel passionately about...and getting stuck in overload. Your comment on separating campaigning from sales has instantly made me see that I have 2 lenses to make on this one topic...thankyou.
    Best wishes,
    Poppy

    A bunch of little adds up to a lot. One of the things I really like about Squidoo is that a percentage of your earnings go to charity.
    Great Lens

I found this site through your polar bear lens which is awesome!

    This was an incredibly helpful lens. I've been using squidoo for a week, and I've come a long way without reading any of the help lens, (just playing around with all the modules)but this lens has given me so much information that I can't wait to go back and edit mine.

    I will be keeping this as a reference.
