Meet The RocketSquids

Ranked #634 in Squidoo Community, #84,328 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

On January 30th, 2012 we kicked off a brand new program called RocketSquids.

RocketSquids is a lensmaking university for promising new lensmasters. It's a private learning environment run by the official Squidoo team, drawing on our years of observing firsthand what makes new lensmasters great and how we can help. RocketSquids is designed to help you master the basics on Squidoo -- by taking weekly lensmaking challenges, reading daily lessons, getting feedback from our Mentors and meeting other new aspiring writers on Squidoo.

The first RocketSquids assignment was to create an "About Me" lens. These new lensmasters knocked this assignment straight out of the ballpark and created top notch, unique and simply amazing lenses.

So join me in congratulating these new lensmasters on their first RocketSquid lens and welcome them to Squidoo.

  • kaazoom Feb 13, 2012 @ 9:51 am | delete
    This is a great idea. It's a shme you have to have under 25 lenses to join. :0( I'm sure I and other lens master, who struggle producing new lenses, would benefit from this program too.

  • Cercis Feb 7, 2012 @ 4:58 pm | delete
    I'll be turning mine in quite a bit later than anticipated. Definitely a hardship for me to "write short." Glad to see all of these fine lenses gathered in one spot :+)
  • BuddyBink Feb 7, 2012 @ 4:35 pm | delete
    I turned my lens in late. Here it is again: http://www.squidoo.com/5-interesting-things-about-michael-anderson
  • MarilynImanse Feb 7, 2012 @ 2:16 pm | delete
    Thanks for putting all the lenses in one place. I, like others kept losing my place & keeping track of lenses I visited. Now I can go back & see the ones I missed. What a great opportunity you have provided all of us to learn.
  • fullofshoes Feb 7, 2012 @ 1:41 pm | delete
    I don't see my smiling little face up there! :) My About Me lens is "http://www.squidoo.com/new-england-patriots-2" (and thanks to everyone who gave me a "like")
  • Ingrid_A Feb 7, 2012 @ 1:39 pm | delete
    Yup me too! I was getting lost. All the lenses look so pretty all bunched together, I can't wait to meet and greet more of you RocketSquids!!
  • SophiaStar Feb 7, 2012 @ 1:35 pm | delete
    Yes thank you! This makes it far easier to visit all the wonderful lenses, much appreciated!
  • Terrie_Schultz Feb 7, 2012 @ 1:09 pm | delete
    Thanks for doing this! I was having a hard time trying to visit all the lenses, now I can get to the ones I missed.
