Great Lensographies by RocketMoms

The RocketMoms are a group of caring, smart, passionate moms who are participating in an invite-only program to create some pretty awesome lenses. This is our second group of awesome Rocket Moms.Their second project was to make an "Lensography" lens. That means a lens that covers a collection of other lenses . . . so you can see them all in one place.

Here you will find more and more Lensography lenses as they get added by the Rocket Moms themselves.

RocketMoms Lensographies Round One

The first round of RocketMoms was amazing. All of us learned so much about Squidoo and how to use it better. We learned more about ourselves, too, as we were pushed to complete a record number of lenses. The lensography assignment was the final one of the course and we were all so sad that it had ended so soon . . . until Part Two came along!

Getting Started with Lensographies

(beginning your addiction)

There are a number of different ways to set up your awesome lensography. In fact, one of the things I love about RocketMoms is the range of ideas these ladies have! Give them all the same assignment and every single lens will be drastically different.

That being said, I know I had trouble with my first lensography, so I thought I would share a few tips.

Pick a theme. This is very important since it will help you stay focused. You can literally choose any theme you like. Then stick to lenses in that area. A lot of RocketMoms have a "niche" or specialty that they can do a lensography on.

Fill it out. While you can certainly keep things very basic with just an intro, Plexo link list and a guestbook, people will be far more interested if you take the time to make the lens more exciting. Add a poll module, throw in some photos (I like Polaroid modules for this), and take the time to explain your topic a little more.

Use existing modules. There's no need to make things complicated. If you don't feel like linking to lenses in your text, don't! The Links Voting Plexo and the Featured Lenses modules are perfect for adding your links quickly and easily.

Make sure you tell people! Your lensography isn't going to be famous if you don't start sharing it. Start right here by adding it to the list below and then send the link out on Twitter, Facebook and even email your friends to let them know about your latest accomplishment. After all, if you are a RocketMom, this lens signals the END of Round Two, an amazing place to be!

    This is it...the last day of RocketMoms session 2. It has been fun. I just added the Zazzle Group lensography. It is a collection of lenses from all those in the group. See how creative they are. http://www.squidoo.com/RocketMoms-Zazzle-lenses

    I've finally finished!! This has been a wonderful experience. I just wish I could have done more but this was an especially busy time period. I'd love to continue to be a part-time Rocket Mom.
