My 10 Purple Star Lenses

As if becoming a Giant Squid isn't enough, Squidoo awards your best lenses (pages) Purple Stars. If you see a lens that just "WOWS" you, send an email to purplestar@squidoo.com and nominate it!

Normally, you must be a Giant Squid to receive a Purple Star, but this year Purple Stars were awarded to non-Giants on the anniversary of the 1st Purple Star Awards. A contest was held and a Queen was chosen. See the details at Purple Star Day 2010.

Other Squidoo Awards are also discussed here. You can join us on Squidoo, too. We'd love to have you! Join here!

I had to increase the number in the title because this lens got a Purple Star today (5/28/10).

Lens of the Day - LotD

Possibly the Highest Squidoo Award

Lens of the Day

If you write a truly exceptional page, you may receive the Lens of the Day award. It is regarded by many as the highest award Squidoo gives out. If you consider that there are over 1 million Squidoo pages and only 365 are given each year, then you would probably agree. (This compared to about 1000 Purple Star awards granted annually.)

SquidAngel Blessings

Another Squidoo Award

SquidAngel

Squid Angel blessings are one of the Squidoo awards that help your lenses climb in standing. The Squid Angels are a volunteer group of lensmasters that read new lenses and give their "blessings" to those they like. Blessings have been referred to by many phrases like spreading some angel love, sprinkling you with angel dust, or just plain, blessings to you.

I love to get Angel blessings. It warms my heart to know they feel my lens is a good one. I have a lens dedicated to all the SquidAngel blessings I have received. As of this writing, I have 50 of my 145 lenses that have been blessed. Many of them have been blessed by more than one angel.

I hope you will visit SquidAngels Have Blessed Me.
