Blogging lenses
I've made three lenses with blogging tips. However, the internet is full of tips on how to blog - so my tips kind of sink for lack of traffic. However, I do think they're worth reading & seeing so here goes:-

Squidoo lenses that don't seem to bring in visitors
I have made some lenses about squidoo that are quite popular. One has been rated by over 100 people. The below are less popular. They did great when they were just made, but now...-
Low votes in squidoo should be banned!

I think people should lighten up about the star ratings. Even a low star rating will boost your lensrank (a bit). So any rating is better than NO rating. Disagree? Tell me! [That said: it does anger me when a good lens that hasn't been voted on yet...

I'm a webmaster and student of religion and spirituality. See my website on religion and spirituality: www.katinkahesselink.net or my spiritual blog: All Considering.
Join my fanclub if you want to be kept updated on new (spiritual) lenses I make. I have lenses on The Ultimate Questions, Spiritual teachers and a few non-spiritual topics, including A few nerdy, squidoy topics.
Perhaps suitably given my spiritual interests, I've been made a squidoo angel in April 2009.
