Squidoo is a place to easily share our content. It is a fascinating process and a very accessible tool. The pages of content that we then create are referred to as lenses. My lenses have been basically my book reviews while I get more familiar with Squidoo and all I can do with it.I blog and now I Squidoo, so I am probably going to cross post my work at times. Some get squeamish at the thought of re-posting content. I could be wrong, it has been known to happen before, but from what I understand there are no ramifications if the content is switched around a little, so to not post the exact same thing over and over.
I am learning this as I go and I am working on updating things so they do not match. With dial up, this is not only a challenge but down right disturbing at times. Thankfully, Squidoo is one of the places that loads fairly well for me and where I am able to actually work. That is why I love blogging so much., it actually loads for me :) that is until there are movies or a lot of gadgets involved... then I begin to cry a little.
My Dragon Rocks! is a SquidPaws lens and not book related, just pet related. I look at my writing and sharing as a digital scrapbook of things I want to remember, and to share with my friends and family.My reflecting seems to be at the core of it all.
Creating a lens is not the hardest thing in the world and yet it's not something that just takes a few minutes to finish up on, even if you do have the content ready and available. I have surely experienced this while trying to create my own lenses. At Squidoo, the creation is made easier than many places online, giving you a ton of options and tools to quickly and efficiently create content really worth viewing.
I am only starting. The lenses I have created still need my touch here and there to make them what I really want them to be and Squidoo has the stuff I need to do that. There are many things I am longing to get a lens created for. It is always exciting to have a huge to do list! My body trembles with enthusiasm and my mind explodes not knowing which direction to begin...so, I will take a breather and begin here...with you :)

Cynthia, your dragon really DOES rock! That is a fantastic SquidPaws lens.
You are so right about Squidoo giving us the tools with which to create amazing lenses, if we just take the time to learn all about them and utilize them.
I'm glad Squidoo's easy for you on dialup. I look forward to more great lens creations from you!
Cynthia,
I agree with you about Squidoo. It is a great tool (as soon as we figure out how to use it!) You are so amazingly creative that I am sure your lenses will be awesome because the ones you have already done are!
Thank you Ladies :) I appreciate your friendships and support. I see creative power in both of you and I'm always interested in what is going to be next. I think Squidoo is going to be one of the hot spots to be at.
Squidoo is definitely a hot spot for me! It seems to beg for my creativity and I am not cursed by "rules" against sharing outside links, which always annoys me in the forums. Besides, I love the opportunity to make some real money without sacrficing my personal creativity. Many forums don't appreciate poetry and prose as a money-maker--they want celebrity gossip and hot newsy items--definitely not of interest to me.
