You will have probably seen me around Squidoo as Inkserotica but I shall be using this account to focus on the wackier side of life.
This can include mysteries, the unexplained, the paranormal, the weird and unusual and everything in-between.
Here’s my updated news from Squidoo!
I’ve removed a couple of my Squidoo Lenses:
Promote with MyBlogLog has now been removed as there is news that Yahoo will be discontinuing the service. Note to self: Do not publish a lens on a subject that may just go belly up!
My Book Reviewing lens has gone as I am no longer officially reviewing. I’m still reviewing for an association my partner co-owns/runs but all fiction books will go through him before they get to me.
I’m now over the 3,000 mark on visitors. Not brilliant but a lot better than before 
That’s it!
One thing I have been wanting to do is to get started on Hubpages. I have an account and I also have a number of Squidoo friends there (no doubt all wondering when I’m going to publish a hub!)
I have two squidoo lenses in WIP at the moment and was thinking of publishing them on Hubpages but one thing has stopped me.
The ideas (or subjects) are unique (well, not completely new but I don’t have any other lenses on these subjects..) so I’m thinking that it would be better to post them on Squidoo rather than hubpages.
I would be interested to know how other lensmasters are using hubpages, though? Are they publishing unique posts (hubs) or are they publishing articles about existing topics they have already published on Squidoo?
Is this the way to go?
My only problem then is to come up with an idea to link to my squidoo lenses from hubpages without affecting my ability to update that lens in the near future. Perhaps I’m over complicating things!
My view is this:
All my future updates to my existing lenses are filed away. I don’t want to affect my ability to publish these updates by using them elsewhere. The information I have for updates is limited so am loathed to waste them unnecessarily.
Am I being daft? Am I wasting a valuable opportunity by not using Hubpages to increase traffic and back links to my Squidoo lenses?
…has been removed from my Squidoo account by me. I’ve downloaded the xml file and plan to upload it to my main website.
It’s a shame but I just wasn’t receiving enough attention, traffic etc. to the lens to make it viable. This way, the author of the book I was promoting can now access the information
I did discover that she’d come across the page but couldn’t see it because she wasn’t a member.
P.S Any tips for getting rid of blackheads? I’ve got a nasty one on the tip of my chin. I’ve tried a pore cleanser with no success. Tips welcome!
Well I’m still depressed 
As a result my lenses are suffering. The traffic has dropped considerably and I’m behind on updates.
I’ve uninstalled the Beta version of Firefox (way to buggy at the moment for me) and have reinstalled the latest, old version of it. No more problems!
Must get on with some updates now, I think.
I’m sure I’m not the only that has doubts or times that they feel, “what am I doing on Squidoo exactly?”
Those times that your enjoyment of something (in this case, Squidoo) is marred by the actions of another or something (anything) that you just can’t deal with no matter how hard to you try and I am. Trying, that is.
I know it’s impossible to get on with everyone, too. I’m not under any illusion about this and never will be. But, it just seems that nothing you do or say makes any difference. You just don’t ‘fit in’ with them no matter how much they say you do.
I’ve always been for one to, at the detriment of myself, think of others. But, I’m not a people pleaser. Oh no! I’m also not someone you can ‘mother’ which a lot of people seem to think they can.
There’s a lot of things I do that doesn’t fit in with everyone else; I have my faults, huge ones at that but they only affect me, not others.
What I don’t know what to do is how to deal with it. This problem.
Ignore it? I think it’s the best way to go.
I shall also think of all the good things to come out of Squidoo like Mimi, Mulberry, AJ, GypsyOwl, JaguarJulie, Monarch13, Janusz, Cleanerlife, thefluffanutta, Harmony, JenniferAkers, Bambi, poddys, a_willow and Sojourn…
Have I missed anyone?
