    Yeah, bit and bites is the best way to consume this, if not it maybe a little too overwhelming. Wishing you much success with Squidoo!
  • paydayadvanceuk Dec 1, 2011 @ 4:30 pm | delete
    This is really useful. I'm still kinda new to Squidoo, so this would definitely help me a lot. I only have one lens right now. I'm gonna work hard to get more lenses up in the future. Thanks for sharing this.
  • ajgodinho Dec 3, 2011 @ 3:27 am | delete
    It was especially created to help new squids, so I'm glad to know you found it useful. I did stop by, but couldn't find your lens. It's probably new and not yet featured. Wishing you all the best!
  • collettehrock Nov 18, 2011 @ 7:15 am | delete
    Anthony this is a really helpful lens, I have been clicking on everything that you have suggested so it has taken a while for me to get through it. Thank you for taking the trouble to write it and I hope every new person on Squidoo is directed to it, I have learnt some very interesting things not to do and I can understand the dislike of spam, and I am glad they have taken measures to stop it happening on Squidoo
  • ajgodinho Nov 18, 2011 @ 3:57 pm | delete
    Glad you found it useful, Collette. I sure did find them useful when I first joined Squidoo. Many of these lenses were created by some of the best on Squidoo. Let me know if you need any help..wishing you the best!

  • Wednesday_Elf Aug 21, 2010 @ 8:38 am | delete
    Sure wish I'd had this terrific reference source when I began on Squidoo (less than a year ago). I 'floundered' in the Squidoo sea for awhile until -- through trial & error - things (like HTML) began to make some sense. I STILL have a lot to learn, but reading great resources like this lens and lenses you've listed here teach me more every day. Thanks for the help -- am 'bookmarking' and know I'll be back often to follow up on selected references as needed! Lensmasters like you here on Squidoo are amazing - giving valuable help to 'newbies' and 'not-so-newbies'!
  • ajgodinho Aug 21, 2010 @ 9:30 am | delete
    Great to know that found this lens useful. I hear your when you say that you had a tough one going through the learning curve...same here! That's the reason I created this lens, I don't aggressively promote it but do sometimes mention it in the new squid forum. Let me know if there anyway I can help you...all the best! :)
  • skiesgreen Aug 13, 2010 @ 12:10 am | delete

    I am not a newbie either but this is a great lens! It looks nice, the writing style is good, and it was super helpful. Taking the extra mile with HTML code is so worth it on lenses - it's something I need to do.
  • ajgodinho Aug 10, 2010 @ 10:53 am | delete
    Thanks much...good to see that you found this lens helpful. I found a lot of use from it given that it includes lenses written by some expert Squidoo lensmasters. I'm glad I learned a little HTML and I try to use it in all my lenses.

    I am not a newbie, I started in 2007 with 2-3 lenses, came back in late 2009 and made some more. Great thing about reading getting started lens is that there is always something new.. I did not know e.g about two of the ebooks and one other book you mentioned and there are some good links to HTML knowledge that is always needed
  • writernewbie Feb 6, 2010 @ 8:05 am | delete
    Another excellent and fantastically executed lens, Anthony. I have been reading through a few of your other lenses today, and I am so impressed by the hard work and research that obviously goes into creating your pages, and I appreciate very much that you have taken the time to prepare this Squid-School for Squidoo Newbies. I will come back and use this page as a resource often! (And have you considered an e-book?) Five stars and favorited. Extremely well done! :)
  • purplelady Feb 3, 2010 @ 1:30 pm | delete
    This is a great lens for me to tell people about - whom I am trying to convince to create their own Squidoo lens and they tell me they don't know how. I must also admit that it has been good for me to remind me of some of the things that I should be doing with my own lenses. 5 SquidSchools, 1 fave, and 1 bluebird.

    Having joined the end of February '09, I completely agree there's a sharp learning curve. I swear I did nothing for the first two months but read, search, and bookmark how-to lenses. You did a wonderful job putting the most helpful resources for beginners in one place. Thanks for featuring my HTML lens, too! Much appreciated. (it's my personal fav of all my lenses) I lensrolled to that lens, as well. Great job!

    ahhhh .. the sound you hear is me exhaling a huge sigh of relief. I went from thinking this was "quick & easy" to being resigned that my 2nd lens was going to have to be a newbie guide of compiled resources, to help others not feel as clueless as I found myself. et bien voila! I found this lens. Thank you thank you thank you!
