Going For Giant Squid

I’ve seriously neglected this blog in the last few months but I have a good excuse.  I’ve become a lensmaster at Squidoo.com and I’ve spent more of my energy there of late.

I made a conscious decision to go for Giant Squid status.  In the world of squidoom that means that you have published 50 quality lenses and you get a special badge on all of your work.  It also entitles you to a few perks.

When I decided to throw my “pen” into the ring in April I had published 23 lenses (that’s the same as an article in Squidoo language).  The next cut-off period is June 30, 2009.  I’ve been working hard and as of today I’ve published 41.  I’m pretty sure I can get to the required 50 by the cut-off date. Then it will be up to the Reviewers as to whether my work has enough “ink” to be a Giant Squid.

Feel free to visit my profile page and read through any or all of my lenses. If you are a member of Squidoo, you can rate them for me.  Whether you are a member or not, you can leave a comment and let me know that you stopped by. BevsPaper

If you are not familiar with Squidoo, you should visit and look it over. There are so many wonderful lenses (articles) about a variety of topics.  It is free to join, just be careful…it can be addictive! Squidoo

A New Squidoo Group

Today I’m going to go just a little off topic by inviting any of my readers to join my new Squidoo Group. It is a group for both collectors and sellers of Ephemera and Paper Collectibles.

The group is small right now with only 3 members and 10 lenses. The lenses are pretty darn cool though. Vintage magazine ads, wrestling programs, autographs, sheet music, and old hollywood magazines are covered in the lenses so far.

So, if you are a fellow lensmaster and have written a lens that would fit in this group, go on over and submit the lens or lenses and I’ll take a peak at them for you. Not only will I add you to the group but I’ll read and rate your lens for you too.
