Squid Ink

Before I start, I would like to send a very big thank you to AJ My most recent lens to be blessed by this very special lensmaster was Effective ways to combat Depression.

I’ve received so many blessings from the Squid Angels lately, that I’m overwhelmed

I’ve written about some very difficult subjects for me on Squidoo and no doubt I shall continue to do so. It has helped me a lot to get things down on ‘paper’ and I’m hoping that it is helping others too.

I would also like to thank JaguarJulie (my Giant Squid Mentor) who has been so helpful with improving my lenses and has left some lovely comments

I have to admit to finding some of the Rocketmoms lens topics a bit difficult but luckily, so far, my uniqueness hasn’t let me down I know there are one or two more topics coming up that I may struggle with but I’m going to take it one week at a time.

The holiday topic had me stumped for a few hours but I eventually came through

Anyway, must go and do some more blog posts

…that I have found a ‘cure’ for Seborrheic Dermatitis?

I’ve just been left a comment on the above lens basically stating that the owner was truly disappointed in the information provided by the lens.

Of course, I could have easily deleted the comment but I feel that the comment says more about the person who left it than my lens or even myself!

However, I’m now concerned that I’ve misled the visitors of my lens that I have provided for them a cure for SD.

The reply I left in response to the comment (which you can read on the lens) was:

‘I’m sorry that you feel that this lens is badly lacking in information. As a sufferer of SD myself I’m still on a mission to find ways to help control this condition, through medical consultations. All I can do here is write about my experiences which I hope will in turn help others with this condition. I’m not a GP or medically qualified and as such do not have all the answers. This lens, therefore, has been published for support, mainly.’

I would dearly love some feedback as to whether YOU think I’ve misled people with the information that I have provided on this lens.

Do you think I promised a cure for SD?

Am I misleading my readers?

Are they expecting more information than what I have already provided?

Giving Squids a Helping Hand

A blog designed to help promote poorly ranked lenses in the Squidoosphere that do not deserve to be ranked low

GSHH blog has moved to Blogger because its previous host has been down for over a week with no explanation.

If the host becomes active again, the posts will stay there but also will be imported over to Blogger if possible.

This is its final move.
