The Answer is NvU - updated 17th August 2009

Actually I have been using Nvu for 2 years already I think. And when I started writing on Squidoo, I used it all the time, so now I'm gonna teach you all how to build a website or a Squidoo lens using Nvu.

Why Nvu? Because building a better lens means lots of HTML right. This is the solution to all the HTML problems you've been looking for. After this, no need to memorize all those HTML and get stucked.

Nvu is totally FREE -

After you extract it into a folder, no installation, just click on the nvu icon. Its hardly to miss it :)

What can Nvu do for You?

As we know, to accomplish a great lens we need to use HTML. This is where I show you how to use Nvu in Squidoo and you can use it also to build a website. Try and catch up with me

Getting Started with Nvu 

Try to familiarize yourself with it

This is what it looks like when you open Nvu. As usual, there are a lot of buttons and icons. Dont worry. Once you get used to it, you will create more great lenses than I do. Nvu also have Tab features like IE and Mozilla. So you dont have to open many Nvu windows.

Before we start, I want all of you to see the bottom of the Nvu page. There are four tabs that you can click that says: Normal - HTML Tags - Source - Preview

It should be like this:


Attention: We will only be using the Normal tab and Source tab.
Why: At the Normal tab, this is where you put the links or pictures and whatever you want. The Source tab will give you the HTML code you need.
Dont worry, the Normal Tab will come out every time you open Nvu.

You are smiling already I see. Once you identify the code that you seek, just copy and paste it in the Squidoo Lens and Voila!!

Nvu Tip : 1

You have to know which HTML codes to copy. Its simple. They are the ones out of the ordinary. Try and error, after sometime you'll get it. I'll teach you

Put A Link or Many Links 

1. Start your Nvu
2. Type the sentences or word that you want to put link on. Example:Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody
3. Highlight the whole sentences or word
4. Look for the icon [Link] on the top of the page and click it.



5. Enter your link or web address
6. Click on more properties
7. Tick on the Technorati Tags and Target - set it [Link is to be opened in a new window]



It should look like this.
Click Ok.
Now, click the Source tab and highlight the necessary part and copy-paste it in Squidoo.


This is the result:
