So, Just What is This Curious Thing?

This is a question I get a lot: "Just what is Squidoo?"

Well, what better way for me to answer this question with a lens of my own all about Squidoo! Prepare to be addicted...

Squidoo is very easy and very dangerous. Before you know it, you may find that you have over 50 lenses, like me!

What is a Lens?

Well, you're looking at one right now!

A "lens" is a page on Squidoo that a Lensmaster (someone like me) has created to "focus" on a certain topic to help you learn more about it! My lens could be about one of my favorite hobbies. Or maybe it's about something I feel passionate about. Either way, my goal is to get information, links, photos and videos to you in a unique way. Oh, and I can make money either for myself or for charity while I'm at it!

I've made so many lenses, I was invited to become a Giant Squid. Now I get to show off my shinny badge to show that I'm a true Squidoo addict!

So, What Can You Do on Squidoo?

Great Stuff on eBay

I like rubber stamping. I've told this e-Bay module to show you search results on e-Bay for Stampin' Up! rubber stamps. How easy is that?

Add YouTube Vids!

Here's a fun option. Add videos straight from YouTube! Meet Rhett & Link, two YouTube Superstars. They make me laugh. They'll make you laugh, too.
