Squidoo Modules for Highlighting

The Big Arrow Link is great for featuring a website, blog or lens. You could draw attention to a site that's relevant to your topic. You could point to your blog. Or you could feature a site where you're selling something related to your lens.

It's really simple to use once you've added the module to your page. You can check out my Squidoo Writing Modules lens to learn how to do this if you're not sure.

All you do is click the orange "edit" button to enter your editor. Enter the URL (address) of the site you want to feature. Name it. And click "save."

You can see a Big Arrow Link below.

The Talk Bubble module is a fun way to highlight things that people have said. Maybe you want to emphasize something you have said. Or, maybe you want to feature a quote from someone else.

It's really simple to use once you've added the module to your page. You can check out my Squidoo Writing Modules lens to learn how to do this if you're not sure.

All you do is click the orange "edit" button to enter your editor. Write the text you want to include. And click "save."

You can see a Talk Bubble below. It comes pre-designed in orange to suit Squidoo's colors and the default text is black . . . but you can change the text color by using the HTML code:

<b style="color: thecolorname; font-weight: normal;">TEXT</b>

The Most Important Thing module works well for drawing attention to almost anything that's important. It might be a summary point about your lens, a really valuable thing to note, a main point that you want to make, or whatever else you want to use it for! It's like using a Post-It flag or sticker to mark something important in a book.

It's really simple to use once you've added the module to your page. You can check out my Squidoo Writing Modules lens to learn how to do this if you're not sure.

I love sticky notes! The StickyNotes module lets you put a cool sticky note right on your lens. You can include lists or quotes on them, or important points, or things to remember . . . whatever you might use a paper sticky note for!

It's really simple to use once you've added the module to your page. You can check out my Squidoo Writing Modules lens to learn how to do this if you're not sure.

All you do is click the orange "edit" button to enter your editor. Write a title for your note and the text you want to include. And click "save."

You can see a StickyNote module below. It comes pre-designed in yellow with black text but you can change the text color, as well as the font size.

Change the font color with this code:

<b style="color: thecolorname; font-weight: normal;">TEXT</b>

If you also want to change the font size, use this code:

<b style="color: thecolorname; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">TEXT</b>

If you want to leave the default text color and just make it bigger, use this:

<b style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">text</b>

Blackboxes are versatile little things. You can use them to highlight an important point, just like the other Squidoo highlighting modules. Or, you can use them as headings for all your modules or sections in your lens. This is something I love to do. You can see it on my gratitude lens.

It's really simple to use once you've added the module to your page. You can check out my Squidoo Writing Modules lens to learn how to do this if you're not sure.

All you do is click the orange "edit" button to enter your editor. Write a title for your blackbox and the text you want to include. Choose the color of your box and click "save."

You can change the color of the box itself. You can change the color of the text. You can add links. And you can add images.

You can see Blackbox modules below that deal with each of these options.
