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!
Enjoy!

Why do you Squidoo?
For Squidoo Lovers
Borders & Columns:
Put a border around what you are saying so it will stand out!
Like this:
<p style="border: 3px solid #f90; padding: 16px;">BORDERS ARE FOR FUN</p>
*****************************************
Adding columns isn't hard and it gives more room and a different look to your lens ...............--------------------
so make a column today in one of your lenses it will be really fun..............-------------
~~~~~~~~~~
Do it:
<p style="float:left; width:250px;">...</p><p style="float:right; width:250px;">...</p>
Make a bulleted list:
- This is the first item
- This is the second item.
- This is a very long line. It is to show you what happens when we
get to the end of our screen. If all goes well, the wrapped part
should start directly under the first character of the line above
it.
