All the top HOW- TO Squidoo resources in one place.

I found myself wishing for a way to organize all my squidoo how-to resources. My firefox bookmarks work kind of O.K. an iGoogle custom homepage with my favorite feeds also works fairly well. But then it hit me. A lens is even more flexible and it can be used by everyone. Hey! I like that even better. I'm going to heavily rely on readers suggestions to decide what else should be listed here. please don't hesitate to contact me or leave a comment.
And if you like the idea of this lens and/or find it useful please help me get the word out by tweeting, digging, bookmarking, rating,stumbling and sharing as you wish. Thank's for your time.
