Rainy Days = Good Squidoo-ing Weather!

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

It’s raining here again. Which gives me a great opportunity to catch up on a few lenses that I’ve been meaning to work on!

I started with Natalie du Toit, who has an absolutely amazing story. She’s had one leg amputated, but that hasn’t stopped her from qualifying for the Beijing Olympics!

As an aside, I feel a bit weird about making Squid Who lenses… what if the person googles themselves and finds it? :P (Heh, sometimes I think too much…)
Next is Azumanga Daioh, an anime TV series that is cute, quirky, funny and just a bit bizarre! The problem is that I start watching YouTube clips of the show and get a bit distracted…

Ooh, I just noticed my Horse Computer Games and Video Games lens is number 57 in the Video Games category :)

Rankings on Squidoo are funny things. Some lenses seem quite ’stable’ in their rankings, and some yo-yo about all over the place… I’ve so much to learn!

Ok, better get back to my Azumanga Daioh clips lens tweaking :P

If only making lenses was always this quick and easy!

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

It’s strange how I publish some lenses really quickly, while others sit around waiting for me to get to them… I just made a new lens on Bananaman. It was so quick and easy that it practically made itself!

The strange thing is that I’ve started all of my lenses off by thinking ‘ooh, that’ll be a good one to do, I can make a great lens on that!’ Yet on some the motivation just doesn’t seem to last…

I think I have to re-think some of the WIPs I’ve had sitting around for a while. Sure, I haven’t had much time to spend on Squidoo for the last week, so nothing much has got done on any of my lenses… but I definitely think an ultimatum of some sort is in order! If I don’t get them published in a reasonable amount of time then I’ll just have to delete them!

Now, I wonder what a ‘reasonable amount of time’ is…
