» Trying to add links to MyBlogLog – failing miserably!

I am trying to set up my account with MyBlogLog and I need to add some code on my blog here on Squidtop. Can I work it out? No!
The instructions are as follows:
To get started, add the code below to your blog template in between the OPEN body () tag and the CLOSE body () [...]

» Blips in the lens ranking process and other musings

Much confusion when the Lensrankings were updated, comments in the forum, comparisons as to who had the lens that plummetted the most, then a reassuring post from Gil to say they were on it, then another adjustment. Relief on the one hand, as Squid Etiquette was restored to the second tier, having plummetted overnight by [...]

» Unproductive day at AJs in one way but productive in another

It’s Half Term in my part of the world, which means no school and a 10 & 12 year old who need to be kept occupied all week.
Although there’s a cold wind blowing, the weather was sunny so the walk to the Doctor’s this morning was quite enjoyable – I am still not driving but [...]

» Finally published my Autumn lens!

Published today and within an hour it was out of WIP and had 3 visits! My newest lens is very much of the AJ’s musings genre – you can find it at: Autumn at AJ’s. Am not sure if it should be categorised as “About Me” or “Home and Garden” – your thoughts on this [...]

Or do you publish, then spend the rest of the week promoting and tweaking?

» Squidoo may be helping me realise a dream

I joined Squidoo because I have always wanted to write and illness forced me to stop working and “take it easy”. Sitting at the PC writing is therapy and definitely “taking it easy”.
At first I was not sure what Squidoo would bring to my life, but the one thing I did say to my Lovely [...]

» What makes good Squidtop blog?

Not much Squidooing, other than catching up with a few threads in the Forum and seeing who has posted here. Plus a bit of updating on my lens on Otosclerosis to explain what Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is as I started it today. It gave me a mild headache but apart from that I was fine. [...]

» I finally got that new lens published….

…that I wanted to publish on Monday! The trouble is that I keep getting distracted by Tagfoot, Twitter and a host of other sites that I am checking out to see what works for me and what doesn’t.
Lewis Smile kicked off quite a debate about how Google does not recognise tags on Squidoo anymore on [...]

» I love Flickr & of course there’s other musings!

Visitors to my lenses will know that I like to use pictures to break up text. I became an affiliate of AllPosters.com to enable me to use their photos and posters and perhaps one day I may just make a sale. Once I had mastered using AllPOsters I then had a look at Flickr.
