Giving tribute to great lenses and lensmasters

Squidangel and giant squid top 100 member Kab seems to be everywhere these days. When he’s not helping out new squids become giant squids, or creating lenses of his own, he’s busy with his new blog: The Squid Calendar.
I noticed his blog the usual way… when he featured one of my lenses. In this case [...]

Inks, aka Carrie White, is a new squidangel, giant squid and recent recipient of her first purple star, and is all in all one of Squidoo’s team players. She’s made several lenses about how to promote your lenses online. To be honest, I think she’s a bit indiscriminate in her advice: she’ll advise any way [...]

Adrienne’s most succesful lenses are devoted to soundtracks, but the lenses that made me feature her here are devoted to squidoo, specifically giant squids. She’s a giant squid already, but up for the Giant Squid Top 100 club in the december 2009 challenge. That’s not her only lens that promotes other people. She’s also featuring [...]

Featuring another rocketmom and probable future giant squid: Sherry Holder Hunt. She has some great lenses, but she also gives to her community. Recently she made a lensography with her favorite squidoo help lenses, but she’s also made several lenses featuring her favorite art galleries online. I mean zazzle galleries, Imagekind galleries, water color artists [...]

What to think of a lensmaster who takes a long hard look at who the boys are who do school shootings, who writes about parents talking about sex to their children, post traumatic stress survivors, how to distinguish love from abuse and Manly Men (no that one is NOT about sex), you know you’ve found [...]

I guess I’m sort of doing a series on great new squids. In the forums she was described as someone whose 51 lenses would of course be good enough to make giant squid. So I went to check KathyMcGraw’s lenses out. True to form, I could not find one that wasn’t great. I think she’s [...]

I know, we all know joan, wouldn’t you think? Joan is of course a very common name. New squid Joan Hall has recently started her squidtop blog, but that’s not why I’m featuring her here. Why am I? Well, because right out of the box this giant squid wannebee has been making lensographies featuring other [...]

The reason I’m writing this blogpost is mostly that I wanted to share one of Eelkat’s best lenses: Living With Asperger’s Syndrome. From her personal lenses it’s clear Eelkat’s life is at times very hard. When I found out only recently that she’s autistic, a lot of pieces of the puzzle fell into place for [...]

I don’t think there’s a more unique contributer to the squidoo community than thefluffanutta. His Squidutils website is a great resource for the stats, the lens directory and of course the blog. The post on how to pick your primary tag is essential for instance.

A LOT of squidoo lenses are devoted to recipes. Caberet Squidoo is a blog devoted to squidoo lenses featuring recipes. For instance she featured one of mine as a delicious healthy vegetarian recipes. Recently RMS has featured Easy Recipes for College Students, Best Ciabatta Bread Recipe, Garden Fresh Tomato Recipes and  Best Family Picnic Menu.
