SquidQuest: SquidLiking 101

A (mostly) reading quest - No lensbuilding required!

Howdy lensmaster! Welcome to SquidLiking 101.

As you may already know, SquidLiking is the way people on Squidoo let each other know that they enjoyed reading a lens. It's a vote of confidence, a virtual high five and a fun way to let a lensmaster know their good work was noticed and appreciated.

SquidLiking is easy. When you really like a lens, simply click on the "like" button that contains the Squidoo logo image (found at the top of every lens) and you'll see it darken and the stat counter will move up. But there's more to know about SquidLiking than just clicking a button.

This SquidQuest is a quick lesson on the ins and outs and the do's and don'ts of Squidliking lenses on Squidoo.

Read on to learn how to complete this SquidQuest and earn a cool 100 SquidPoints for doing it.

  • lizholy Jan 22, 2012 @ 12:03 am | delete
    oops, I have already read these lenses while learning to use Squidoo, and before I received this quest :-). I have liked some lenses because I've been reading at least two of the featured ones almost every day -- I like good writing and good stories -- So, what do I do now for this quest? LOL.
