    I've been developing my own systematic approach, and this will help polish it. Two and a half months and still learning tons from contributions like this one. Thanks.

    I like the systematic approach too. This may help a lot of people to rank better. Blessed by a Squid Angel.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's so hard to find just the right information here, because there are soooo many lenses with info...it gets overwhelming. But I really appreciate your lens. It's exactly the info I needed! I'll keep coming back to this one until I get it all! Thanks!

    Great info here, thanks for sharing! Also wanted to thank you for your comment on my lens. No worries about not accepting it into the "Saving Our Animals" group...my fault for not reading the introduction properly. Let's hope my macaques remain off the endangered list!
    Best wishes to you,

    These are great tips! I keep a paper (shocking, I know, with a pencil and all) graph of all my lenses to remember what needs to be done, what I've added it to, and so forth. It just makes it easier for me so I can see them all with just a glance down whichever column I need.

    Thank you for your response and feedback to my post requesting "getting started information".

    As a newcomer to Squidoo and having listened to so many recommendations there seemed no option but to get myself up and running.

    I have "great expectations" of Squidoo, one of the main reasons I seek "how-to Squidoo" information so as to speed my progress.

    I followed your link to Squdooguide and have to admit I am really impressd. Your lens is timely, informative, and entertaining.

    Right now I want to have a look see your other lens in search of ideas and I'll be taking notes.

    Be seeing you.
