Follow-up thoughts on today's review: If you'd rather keep your comment module toward the bottom of your lens, but still would want someone's great comment to "testify" for your work, consider taking a screenshot of the comment and placing it anywhere in your page. You can do some slight alterations to it to make it look better. In the example below, from Be Positive: Like Joan Adams, I moved
John Dilbeck's image over to the inside margin of the actual blurb, as well as colored the entire section the same light blue of the blurb box. The example is shown smaller. To see it in its full glory, go
here. You'll find the original blurb in the Comments section of the page.
Note: Joan had likened the tribute lens to giving her flowers "while she can smell 'em." That's what John is referring to in this post:
Reading Spirituality's post about Twitter at her SquidTop blog got me to thinking about how we Squidooers could get more out of Twitter. While I do believe that Twitter is not for marketing per se, I do believe that Twitter is the perfect way for Squidooers to connect with and help each other.
I propose that you follow as many Squidoo Twitterers as you can find. This link may help. Hopefully, the Twitterers you find will follow you back, thereby being the makings of a great Squidoo community on Twitter.
Here are some ideas for being a Squidoo Twitterer:
- Twitter your congratulations to someone for receiving a Squidoo award or some other recognition.
- Twitter the lensmaster when you have found a typo or some other glaring error on their lens (using Direct Message so only he or she sees it).
- Direct Message (DM) some information that you believe will add to the quality of someone's lens.
- Twitter a blog or link find.
- Ask questions.
- Answer questions.
What do you think? Besides promoting our lenses to each other and the few ideas I just wrote about, what are some more benefits to following Squidoo Twitterers? How can we help each other — through Twitter — to be better Squidooers?
Susan52 published an excellent tip on her blog that shows you how to make lenses from reviewing your stats.
