Do you Squidoo? Are you an expert at something or very passionatate about something? squidoo.com is a unique way to blog about it. They have developed what they call “lenses” based on keywords or topics. The lenses have several modules which you can customize to include amazon links, cafe press products, ramblings about your favorite topic, and many other add ins.

Squidoo is also a decent place to do research for homework or general knowledge. bloggers will find tons of stuff to point to, but please be considerate of copyrights. Their search is a little more unique than googling or Yahoo-ling. I will warn you, Squidoo is addictive.

I decided to create a lens based on a site I have long thought about but never had time or inclination to set up.
www.squidoo.com/chicksingersongwriters/
I think the title says it all.

It was easy to add in the Amazon modules and products. The interface is intuitive to anyone who has used an online word processor. If you visit, be sure to rate the site and help me boost my rankings. And if you like my tastes in music, feel free to order a CD. Part of the proceeds go to the Squidoo charity fund, some to me, and I’m sure some to Squidoo. And you get a good deal. So go browse around and if inclined set up your lens for your area of expertise. When you do let me know what your lens name is here in the comments and I’ll be sure to visit.
