Whispering to the sharks...


I have been quite busy recently creating lenses myself. By the way, did you guys/girls know about lensroll? It is a great site to promote your lenses, give it a try!

This time, I wanted to feature a lens about shark whisperers. It is a good lens about a fantastic story:

Speaking about stories, sunny_saib had the clever idea to gather some nice stories in this lens:

Check it out and submit your story if you have one.

Finally, I have found this lovely lens about notes in lunch box:

Do you have kids yourself? Do you include notes in their lunch boxes?

And yet another set of wonderful lenses


Hi squids, how are you? Busy creating Halloween lenses? I wanted to feature some of them today but decided it was still too early. Many more lenses are coming and we are not even in October yet!

So, here are some non-Halloween-related lenses.

One that many of you know is this one:
http://www.squidoo.com/squidoo-graphics
Consider this as a bump for new lensmasters to find it. Great squid graphics you can use in your lenses, just don't forget to give the credit to their author.

Another quite old lens is this one:
http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-save-a-baby-trapped-in-a-hot-car
It got a purple star and I generally like to find less known lenses but this one really deserves your attention. It is about breaking a car window to save a baby forgotten in it.

Finally a recent lens by a quite new lensmaster:

Nice topic and beautiful little lens.

More great lenses to check


First, I am happy to feature a lens made by Robin Svedi, also known as RMS as she is a Squidoo community organizer. If someone should be checked for great lenses it is her and I selected one which is really good:

What is the lens about? Well it is a lovely story, well-written and fast pace. Maybe not to everyone's taste but I liked it and think you should check it up.

Then comes a lens which is indredibly beautiful. His author is a photographer and you could have guessed it by the quality of the pictures in his his lens:

See by yourself but be careful you may get jealous not to have so great photographs for your own lenses :p

Another lens that I thought was worth mentioning is the squiddon't lens. It took me a while to find it. If you are looking for the Squidoo editorial guidelines, this is the lens you want:
http://www.squidoo.com/squiddont
It will tell you everything you want to know about what is allowed or not allowed to write about, topics you should avoid etc... A must-bookmark lens.

A January lens? Yes, I know, January is not coming soon, but I still think this lens is worth checking:
http://www.squidoo.com/NationalHandwritingDay
It is more about Handwriting than about January and it is beautiful. What else to ask?
