Best practices for using Widget Modules on your lenses
Ranked #1,107 in Squidoo Community, #126,936 overall | Donates to Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue of NorCal
Squidoo offers lots of modules to use in building your lenses. Including some fun, stylized 'widgety' modules
We recently updated the look and feel of a few of our more stylized modules. I like to think of these as punctuation modules, or emphasis modules. They work best on a clean, uncluttered page, sparingly, when you really want to make a point.
Below you can see a few of our stylized module designs in action.
P.S. This lens is NOT a good use case! :) As you can see here, when you use all of these stylized modules at once on a lens, and when you use them without blocks of content between them, they lose their impact and purpose. So use sparingly.

#1 The Most Important Thing module
Important!
The Most Important Thing Module
This is what it looks like in action. It's a great way to call attention to just a line or two of text on your lens.
#2 The Big Arrow Link module
#3 The Countdown module
This lens will explode. (Not really).
Countdown to You have 2 weeks to read this lens and then it explodes. (Not really).

#4 The talk bubble module
“The talk bubble looks like this. Great for quotes.”
#5 The StickyNote module
The StickyNote Module
Fun for special reminders, instructions, adding personal narrative. Use sparingly. Use only on lenses where this kind of officespace voice is right for your topic or theme. You can bold a word or two for nice effect here.
#6 The polaroid module
A few more modules you might not know about (but should)
