Welcome to My Squidoo Tips 3
This Squidoo Tips lens will talk about how to lensroll and how to rate a lens. I remember when I first started out here on Squidoo, even though I looked all over (honest), I couldn't find out how to do the simple task of lensrolling.
How to Add a Lens to your Lensroll
On the right side of a lens page there is a section called "awelldressedbullet Recommends...." just under "Related Topics". When you lensroll a lens, this is where the lens link ends up.
- First, you must be signed into Squidoo.
- Go to the lens you want to add to your lensroll.
- When you are on that lens, look at the top of the lens page and you will see a line of icons beside where the rating stars are.
- Click on the yellow smiley icon and follow the prompts (you will be asked which lens of yours you want to add this to).
Lens you Lensrolled not showing?
- Click on "Edit" to open your lens workshop
- Glance down under "Lensroll" (right side of page)
- Click on the side arrow to open this up and you should see the lens you lensrolled is actually there at the bottom of the list
- Click on the orange "Publish" button (of the lens)
- Click on "View Lens" and you will see that the lens you lensrolled is now showing on yours.

How to Rate a Lens
If you enjoy a lens, let the author know by rating their lens. You could have found it interesting, funny, or it's just so pretty.
1. You have to be signed in to rate a lens.
2. Click on one of the stars, 1 to 5, beside "Your rating" on the top of the page.
Rate and then Refresh
There is an intermittent glitch on Squidoo that sometimes when you rate a lens a 5, it will go through with less.
This is sometimes also caused when you leave a lens too quickly after rating the lens.
To prevent this is easy, after you rate a lens, be sure to refresh the page to make sure your correct rating is showing.
Quick Tips
Visit other Lenses that are related to your lens(es) or that are of interest to you.- If you like their lens after you rate the lens, leave a Guestbook (Reader Feedback) entry. Do be subtle, don't be spammy.
- You accomplish two things, you are supporting a fellow Squidoo'er and acknowledging their efforts and you are receiving a little bit of 'advertising'.
- Did you know that if you include a link to an off Squidoo site in your comments, many lensmasters won't approve the comment.
- If you don't see your entry right away, don't leave another entry. Many lensmasters have their settings to approve entries first.
