» End of the month stats and a review of my second full month on Squidoo

Well the wait is over. Did I achieve one of my Lensography “September objectives”, which was to get into the Top 50?
Woohoooo! Yes I did! I have a lens at number 49 and what is all the more remarkable is that it did it in just seven days.
Like most “newbies” (and I still consider [...]

» Main site has just gone down so I will blog instead

A mixed day – various things kicking off in the Forum, including the use of an Avatar by “someone”, who we are starting to think is a fella but is using a rather “revealing” photo of a “lady”. The worry is that this person will favourite a lens and oh boy, I do not want [...]

» Another lovely day in the UK

I wonder how long this glorious weather is going to last. The nights are much colder and you notice it as soon as the sun goes down and we do have the heating on just for awhile to take the chill off the place in the mornings. But the days have been fabulous.

» Yesterday was a strange one on the Forum

Is it me, or have there been slightly worrying undercurrents in some of the threads on the Forum over the last couple of days? You need to have been there to understand what I mean.

» Mr Silly was not chastened

In answer to the message that MiMi left on my last post, I did hear from Mr Silly and to be fair his response was polite enough. However, he definitely was NOT chastened. He sought to justify his approach to me by quoting from a lens by another well known lensmaster. This lens was discussing [...]

» From Demoralised to Remoralised (!) in two minutes flat

I followed my own advice in my new lens Squid Etiquette and sent an email thanking Seth Godin for what Squidoo has done for me.
OMG (that’s Oh my gosh in this house) – Seth replied and told me that my email has made his day. Well you have certainly made my day Seth – thank [...]

» New lens published & a new tip, plus other ramblings

Am posting a message here that I have put on SquidU, as I discovered something over the last few days that I did not realise and I think not many other people do either!
You learn something new every day on Squidoo and it is only recently that I realised that you do not have to [...]

» LOTD – no, it wasn’t a mistake

Have had a reply form Megan Casey to my email asking if the LOTD was a mistake – had already got it for Auditory Processing Disorder on 10th September and then blow me down, I got it again today.
Megan told me that she had not put anything about it in the LOTD blog the first [...]
