How to Change your Profile, Preferences, and other Squid-Settings
Do you want to allow people to contact you through your lens? Do you want to share your favorite lenses with others?
Scroll down to find out how.
Find the Profile Page
This will take you to a page that looks like this:
Preferences
On the right side you can change your Preferences.Safe Search: lets you block lenses with adult and mature content from your browsing and search results. The default setting is "on." To turn Safe Search off simply click on the "Edit" button.
Share My Squidoo: lets you share your My Squidoo page with other people.
Open External Links in a New Window: opens a new window when a visitor clicks a link.
Allow Contact: You can let other Squidoo members contact you from your lenses. They will not see your email--unless you reply to theirs.
For all of these options, clicking the edit button toggles the setting between on and off.
