Squidoo Pledge

A pledge for Squidoo lensmasters

There are a number of reasons I took the pledge but first and foremost I knew I was neglecting some of my lenses. Are you?

2008 was a momentous year for me on Squidoo.


  • I celebrated my first anniversary on March 11.

  • I became a Giant Squid on May 2.

  • I came to terms with my Squidoo Addiction!


What about you? Are you a Squidoo Addict, too? What are you going to do about it? Perhaps you should think about taking the Squidoo Pledge too...

The Pledge

The PledgeClearly my addiction helped me achieve the status of Giant Squid but in April 2008 I realized that I needed to change my Squidoo habits. I was heedlessly creating new lenses and neglecting old ones. I was creating lenses and not even developing them. How wasteful!

I made a pledge to myself to do two things differently that will help me manage my addiction and give back to Squidoo as well.

Step One
I pledge to maintain and develop existing lenses in a balanced relationship to lens creation.

Step Two
I pledge to help new lensmasters become Squidoo addicts too and to recognize those outstanding lensmasters who inspire us all

I think these two steps will help me live up to my idea of what a Giant Squid should be!

raphaelo says:

I do it right now, but aims to go for your 2nd pledge.. help new lensmasters become Squidoo addicts :)

aj2008 says:

I think I may have taken just the exact same pledge around a year ago - it was around the time we launched Professional Squids ;)

skiesgreen says:

Yes, certainly. All for keepng my lenses up to date and not creating useless ones that don't fit in with a general pattern.

OhMe says:

Yes, I do need to take the pledge and get busy updating existing lenses

javrsmith says:

I am so close to 50 lenses, though.

I'm not ready yet

says:

Yep, agree with Megal...

SereneSea says:

I would love to take a pledge but sometimes get bored of beautifying and improving my lens. Not ready yet but will take it up soon.

Megal says:

I don't know about the second part, sure I'll help them. But make them addicts... (doesn't sound so healthy)

As for the first part, I'll do that.

    As a newbie I look forward to becoming a giant squid. I believe in handing out lots of squidlikes. Thanks for the hard work.

    I know that this year I am going to get back to enjoying writing again so I guess that I have indeed taken the pledge. Wishing you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year :)

    Yep, the more lenses you have the harder it gets to maintain them all and give them all the love they deserve!

    i update several lenses daily but time escapes me to do more if I am to pay attention to rating other peopl'e lenses and keeping up with the monsters and quests, etc. Great lens and featured on The Beating Heart of Squidoo
