Wow! August is gone and here we are to September 1.
Again I crammed in most of my squidoo in to yesterday. Every day I'm in squidoo, just not updating or building my own lenses like I should be.
I'm appreciating the 2 squidoo groups that I belong to in facebook.
I got busy last night with my goal of finding a charity for each lens and tithing from squidoo through helping others. I found my best way to see what the charities were while I was in there was to put it in to the donations module and go read the description from there.
I'm disappointed that there are no charities that deal with crafts---like making crafts to send to the needy. I wanted one of those for my craft type lenses. Also, I seen no charity that dealt with music. I was hoping to find one of those for my music lenses.
Anyway, I updated my Marsha's Crafts lens adding KIVA as the charity. I also did some updating. It needs more updating though because I hope to rid myself of the Gifts Galore and More website since I can't update it myself and I don't focus on many of the crafts that are listed there anymore.
I updated Earn Money Online aka Earn With Marsha to add KIVA as the charity as well. KIVA gives loans and grants to entrepreneurs. I did some updating of the lens otherwise as well.
Lastly I updated Our Unschooling Journal adding Room to Read as the charity. This was fun again to look back almost 3 years ago and see what Jasmine looked like and what she was doing.
I've asked before, but this is still bothering me. Does anyone know how to delete items from the etsy module after they are sold? They are just staying there forever. I'm thinking my best bet is to just delete the module and re-add a new one and start over!
That's all for me this week. I look forward to hopping along with you.
Happy Thursday to all! After the storms, I woke up this morning to a solid blue sky. I do have to say that I hope it stays that way for awhile.
I hope, if you are reading these posts, that you will help me spread the word about this hop each week. Place the button on your own blog or do a post about it. Join along in the linky and keep me and others busy with squidoo.
I have tried to be busier with squidoo this past week.
First of all, I would like to ask you to visit Our Unschooling Journey 3-- I am finding this one to be "in the pink" with it's ranking too low to show up in searches and such. I just looked through it and it sure brought back a lot of memories for both me and Jasmine from 2 years ago.
I updated My Toothbrush Rugs lens with a couple more photos. I have 2 more updates planned for this lens. The last one being the completed rug. That will be awhile as I have some other projects that must come first.
I updated my Helen Steiner Rice lens. I was updating it to change the amazon to my own affiliate links. I have since found out that the links aren't working now like they were. I did add another section of books while I was there as well. However, I hope you will still visit. This lens has been my top lens for a long time, and the only one that has stayed 10,000 and below in ranking. Right now it's below 2000 on ranking!
I updated my Jerky Direct Business Opportunity lens to add in 2 new products. I will update again once the products are available next month. Jerky Direct has been good to me over the years so I really want to spend more time getting the word out about this lens and working to build my business.
I built just one new lens-- This Day in History May 25. I did this one in honor of my brothers birthday. The gal that usually puts out the lists that I use to build with hasn't put one out for awhile now. I found another list by someone in gather but the entire list was boring. So, I did a search on my own and picked some of what I found to be interesting. I have fun with these.
When someone clicks on this banner, they are taken to the info page about the blog hop. I now include a link to the current week on this page.
Welcome to the second week of my Squidoo Blog Hop.
A big thank you to those of you who joined us last week. I hope to see it continue to grow as we support each other.
I really enjoyed reading your blog posts and I even learned a few things. I read in Louanne's blog post about out links. I learned that by having outlinks within our lenses, and people clicking on those, it helps the lens rank. This has me knowing that I need to get back in to a lot of my lenses and see what I can add.
I have a lot to learn about the different modules that are available and just what they do.
I would love to know how to put in a module where others can subscribe by email to my lenses. Sandy Spider has this, so I get notice in my email when she builds or updates one of her lenses. She tried to explain to me where she went to find out about putting one in, but it was above my head.
I think I am going to continue this week with sharing lenses that are on the bottom of my list as far as lensrank. This gives them a boost up.
Last week I shared Our Unschooling Journey- 4---This week it's Our Unschooling Journey 3 that sits at the bottom of my list on lensrank. This was part 3 of our attempt to unschool. These lenses are great memories for me. I love looking back at them and the photos I shared of Jasmine doing various things.
The second one up from the bottom in lensrank is Homeschoolbuy, however, my auctions there are in a mess and won't be fixed until after we move into our new house...and probably not until after I do the monster garage sale and I'm putting any books I don't sell there back on the shelf. So, I'm going to skip that one.
Next is Naruto. This is a lens that I built dedicated to my youngest daughter (who is now 14). I did some updating to this lens today, adding another amazon module and flickr photos. I did part 1 of the characters making the characters names in bold. Left the rest for another day. Enjoy!
Speaking of a boost up....I am a squidoo angel in the books category. If you have reviews or other book related lenses, I would love to take a look at them. If you would like, please share the URL in the comments section.
