Skiesgreen On Squidoo
This lens deals with my feelings for Squidoo and the lenses praising it and the special feelings that many have for some of the folks who make it such a great place.
It's a lensography llisting lenses that explain how you can succeed here. Please check out all the links
Many come and go here and that's probably because they fail to understand how it works, the help and love that squids share with each other, and the ins and ourts of building successful lenses and marketing them offline as well as online.
This lens may help some 'floaters' stick around and become important squids and high achievers.

What to Do When First You Arrive
When you start on Squidoo it can be a bit of a minefield. You want to make great lenses so what do you do. This is a formulae worth following. Over my time here I have helped many lensmaster achieve high status by encouraging and guiding them to build good lenses. To help further I constructed several lenses on building them and how to make them as good as possible. This lensography lists them along with details and a bit more help.
Make sure you read through the following lenses.
Learning Curve Lenses
Tips on Writing
Writing is a great asset and doing it well is even better, These lenses will help you achieve in this area
Poll Module
Do You Concentrate on Appearance?
Is the style of a lens important?

Yes, badly constructed lenses turn me off
grannysage says:
Appearance has a great affect on me. A well designed lens make me want to keep reading. If it has long paragraphs of nothing but content, not always well written, I will quickly bow out. The intro on this lens is very attractive btw.
sorana says:
Although I am on the Yes side, if the subject is interesting, I still give the lens the time of the day to browse through. If it catches my interest with the content I'll spend the time to read it
No, I am only interested in the contents
Stonecutter says:
I am really more interested in what the lens is about. That being said I have to admit I have seen some lenses that just make me green with envy. Not only to they offer fantastic information they are beautifully built. I am starting to learn what some of the more sophisticated modules do and will begin slowly incorporating them into future lenses to catch peoples attention which will help me reach my ultimate goal of sharing valuable information.
ChrisDay says:
As usual, it's a bit of both but I veer towards content.
Dress Up or Leave Plain
When you start a lens you have several options. First of all the number of text modules, polls, duels, videos, bookmark, table of contents, and so on. How you choose and arrange them will have a big bearing on your presentation.
The following lenses help with this.

Lenses Worth a Look
Do You set Goals
When writing a lens do you have a goal

yes, definitely
grannysage says:
Yes, but often the goal changes because the lens has its own message it wants to say.
Stonecutter says:
Absolutely, I write about things that I think people with interests similar to mine would find helpful and I want to make sure it is as complete as I can possibly make it.
jvsper63 says:
Yes
no, I just write about things I am interested in
miaponzo says:
I mainly write about the things I'm interested in.. for sure.. I don't think I would write about something I'm not interested in.. even when doing a quest.. I always write about things I'm passionate about or interested in :) But.. I do have goals too :)
sorana says:
No, I just write about things I am interested in and whatever my mind comes up with.
katiecolette says:
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I guess I would probably benefit from setting goals for all of my lenses.
ChrisDay says:
I enjoy spreading information and ideas. Describing it a 'having a goal' would be heaping too much praise on my rather haphazard approach to a new lens.

- You've got both my love and a rating for your lens. I like how you used the green in your modules to match the lens and I like the content also.

- You always deserve 10* not 5 your one of the good one's. There are about 15 That are good. Other then that there is a lot of negativity. Here on Sqidoo. I don't think some of the people in the forum's realize we aren't in grad school. This is not meant toward anybody that doesn't make people hesitant to go into the forums.. Great Topic
