Are you looking for new ways to spice up your lens?

When I first started making lenses, I wasn't aware of all the cool things that could be done within the Squidoo modules. Now that I have researched and found some neat things, I want to share them with you. I hope you find some things that will help you. Please leave feedback or add a code site for more spicy lens ideas!

I use photobucket to add pictures to lenses. It's much easier!

cherish

Change beginning letter:

Make a large beginning letter
(Change the m to any letter)

Code:
<b style="FONT-SIZE: 100px; FLOAT: left; background: silver; color: white; LINE-HEIGHT: 70px; PADDING-TOP: 2px; FONT-FAMILY: times; border-bottom: medium; border-left: medium; border-right: medium; border-top: medium; border-style: inset; margin-right: 4px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px;">M</b>
