Hello friends (taps microphone to see if sound system is working) -
Thanks, Gene, for inviting me to join your Valley here... here's one of the reasons I love Squidoo:
I'm using Squidoo as a filing cabinet of my interests. And when I learn something new, I make a lens about it.
So, now, when I'm trying to remember how to use Yahoo pipes to format an rss feed - instead of digging around my messy desk for the notes I took when I first figured it out, I just look at the lens I compiled as I was learning!...
Same with using the "Wimpy Player" to put music on a lens. It takes about 17 clicks to do it, and I'd have forgotten how by now - except I wrote it up in a lens, so now I can look it up any time I forget ...
I was given a miniature horse in partial exchange for building a website for the best divorce mediator in Greensboro, NC - and people kept asking me about him (the horse, not the divorce mediator) and wondering if he's actually a Shetland Pony - so I looked the matter up online and wrote a lens about it!
I loved the wattle-and-daub houses I saw in Bulgaria and England and wondered about them, so I looked them up and found a bunch of good pictures - and wrote a lens about them. Now, everything I know about wattle and daub is in one place.
Do you use Squidoo this way?
I'm Chapel Hill fiddler, and you can see all my Squidoo lenses here.

Dear Fiddler:
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog! I don't know if you have heard, but I have been MIA for a while. The reason is that we have had a baby and he has taken ALL of my time. Well our baby is now 5 months old and he is taking a little less of my time...so, I can focus a little to my other babies...my Squidoo lenses and my blog. I will still probably not be around too much as he keeps us running!! But slowly, slowly you should see me here a bit more frequently. I will post more about it all soon.
