Linchpin Lens Challenge
Ranked #4,366 in Squidoo Community, #298,956 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund
This page is all about the Giant Squid Training Camp Linchpin Challenge
This week's Giant Squid Training Camp Challenge is to create a Linchpin lens for those special people in your life who aren't on Squidoo!
Better than a standard greeting card, more powerful than a phone call, a Linchpin lens about your own personal can't-live-without person lets you share your strong feelings about your chosen indispensable person with the entire world.
Ideas for this challenge can include making a NEW Linchpin lens about::
-- your spouse
-- your children
-- your boss
-- your congressman
-- your grandparents
-- your helpful neighbor
-- a special teacher
-- a best friend
-- the one player your favorite sports team can't win without
-- the most important character on your favorite tv show
-- or anyone else you find indispensable!
Be sure to create your lens on the Linchpin cobrand template found here:
Linchpin Headquarters
After you've completed your Linchpin lens, post it in in the appropriate plexo below.
Top lenses from this challenge will be posted at the Giant Squid Showcase and the So You Want to be a Giant Squid blogs on Wednesday February 17, 2010.
Only NEW lenses are eligible for this challenge!

- Robin, my linchpin lens isn't showing up in the Squidoo search when I search for "Linchpin" or when I use the title "Doc Hellams". Could this be a bug or should I just wait a couple of more days? Thanks.

- I'm not sure ohme. Does it show up when you search using an outside search engine? You might report it as a bug so the tech team can take a look.

- Thanks. Will do. I doubt that it has had time to show up on other search engines since it is just 2 days old but it should be showing up with the Squidoo Search.

And while you're here, say something nice about Squidoo's indispensable Lensmasters
What a great opportunity! Here's what I said:
Squidoo's lensmasters are the true Linchpins at Squidoo.com. The community of people here are without a doubt, some of the best on the web. I'm honored to be a part of this wonderful group! Without the lensmasters what would Squidoo be? Probably just like any other site out there. Squidoo's lensmasters are the best!!!

- Squidoo's lensmasters top the list of great indispensable people. I have made some great friends here who have changed my life. If I'm down and need encouragement, I just post to a forum and before you know it, someone makes me feel better. Thanks to everyone at Squidoo!

- Squidoo Lensmasters have proven to me to be some of the most caring people that I have ever run across. It doesn't matter if it is a problem you are having with a lens or a family crisis that you have shared, lensmasters don't hesitate to express their concern, empathy, and well wishes. Every morning when I cut on my computer, I start seeing my emails from visitors to my lenses, friends at various Nings, or just messages and I instantly feel a big Squidoo hug wrap around me.
