Happy Thursday! Welcome to this week's squidoo hop.
Shouldn't it be squidoo pay day?
I rec'd an email asking me if I would like a 30 day subscription to fotopia and then do a website review for them here on my blog. Fotopia offers royalty free photos and such. I accepted right away with squidoo in mind. I believe it was Gale who emailed me about changing some of my intro pics. I tend to just go make words in paint when I don't have a photo for the intro. I will be taking full advantage of my free 30 days membership on Fotopia where I can download up to 5 images each day. It looks really great so far.
I updated one lens intro pic using one of my downloads---you will it on my Books for All Ages lens. I also updated the Christmas countdown module while I was there.
On suggestion last week I did a little tweeking in my With Violets Book Review lens. What I see there is that I have my review of the book in the intro. I don't like that. I want my review in a text module. However, I didn't change it yet with squidoo squaking about how many words are in our intros. Suggestions on what to put in the intro area other than the name of the book, the author, the ISBN number and publisher? Or, would these things make the intro long enough?
Also this past week I found that I had a wrong URL in my Jerky Direct Business Opportunity lens. This lens is staying towards the top of my list, so that makes me happy.
I have 4 lenses in the pink so I will try to concentrate on seeing what updates I can get done to those this week and get them moved up. I'm still confused on that....with the thousands, probably close to a million lenses that are out there, how would you ever keep all of your lenses out of the pink?? I really do not get it, and really do not like that they become works in progress if rank goes higher than 400,000 and then not accessible through search engines (at least that's what I read).
Anyway, I hope to see lots hopping along this week. I always look forward to hopping around to those who link up!
Welcome to another week of squidoo hopping!
I'm still going to work from the bottom of my lens list.
Homeschoolbuy-- I finally got to re-listing books on this website. I ran into trouble re-listing as they weren't all there, but I'm done for now until I add a few more books. Then, I've spent over an hour trying to update this lens! I didn't have the pics still on my computer, and for the life of me couldn't figure out how to save them from the auction site. It will only let me save them as .php files, which can't be opened. gggrrrrr.....but it's at least updated finally. I hope you will check it out and consider selling on the website as well. The purpose of the lens is to get the word out about it.
Next is line is my pets lens, but it also needs to be updated to take out photos of animals we no longer have, and add in at least the cat we now have. Maybe I can get around to undating it sometime before next week.
With Violets by Elizabeth Robards--this is a book review lens. I've not updated it, but hope you will click over and help it climb in lens rank some.
Good Morning! I haven't been on the computer much this morning, concentrating more on the housework and now ready to start schoolwork with Jasmine.
On the way to take the girls to school Elizabeth had to call us. About half way there that rod went all the way out on the van. Now it's still sitting down there and I have no idea when we can get someone to pull it home for us. I also need prayers on coming up with the $300 we need to buy another engine for it.
I posted a book on blujay yesterday and have another one to post today. Both are new books that I've written book review squidoo lenses on. Yesterday's was With Violets
I didn't get anything extra into gather yesterday other than an article on the van breaking down.
I'm sad that we will have to now miss the Lenten service at church tonight, and once again I have to call and get a ride for the girls to Awanas. I think Jasmine and I will walk to the grocery store this afternoon for a few things. I think the weather will hold out for us today, but tomorrow is a real cool down with a chance of rain....Friday they are calling for even more of a cool down with a chance of snow. Oh boy....
I guess that's it for today's news. I need to check real quick to see what's supposed to be good deals at the grocery store. I looked at the ad but didn't see anything exciting.
Have a good Wednesday!
Marsha
I'm going to have to say good afternoon today as it's almost right up noon as I start to type for the day.
The weather is still on the warmer side, but it's misting outside. They are calling for snow by Tuesday.
I've been busy today on here. I finished reading the book With Violets last night. It's a book I received from the fiction readers group on gather to read and review.
I posted my review on gather this morning... With Violets By Elizabeth Robards Book Review
and I also built a squidoo lens on it that I hope you will check out as there is much more there. This marks my 40th lens built! With Violets Book Review
I am busy with too many projects as usual. I'm still working on clearing out my gmail. I am crocheting a plarn shopping bag that a lady wants. They are fun. I'm still trying to do all my other things online as well as attempting to keep the house is a decent order. In keeping with my goal I am trying to list one item a day new on blujay. I have a whole crate of books to prepare for listing.
Have a great Saturday,
Marsha
