New Squidoo Lenses

Posted by Christine on September 8, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve made squidoo lenses…

My most recent one is for Stray Tales, one of my self-published books. This one is a little different because of how I market it… with an invitation for people to go ahead and color the pages themselves.

I even tell people to send or email me a copy of the colored page and I would put it up. Unfortunately, few do. Oh well. I wish they would though, so I can see how they went about it.

I’ve got all 3 books with their respective lenses.
Still working on this Stray Tales one, with the whole coloring aspect still needing to be added.

Check them out there:

Updating Squidoo Lenses

Posted by Christine on March 18, 2009

It’s been a while since I’ve been on this blog. I think I just had to take a break -too many sites and things to keep up with.

Anyway, lately I’ve been coming back to squidoo lenses I had made and upgrading them a bit with more information, images, fun gear, etc.

The two I’ve worked on so far are:

1- scooters! I got one earlier this year and have been riding it off and on depending on weather. It’s great fun and inspired me to go back and upgrade this lens a bit.

Check it out here: http://www.squidoo.com/scooters-for-fun

2- Corto Maltese. I’m a great fan of European comics and Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese adventures are extremely famous all over the world. I’m working on listing the albums for now. I’ve added a few images too for a better visual experience. Next will be some historical context for each album.

Check this one here: http://www.squidoo.com/Corto-Maltese-Adventurer

Take a minute to go through these squidoo lenses. I’m putting a lot of work into them and rather enjoy the way they’re coming out. Hope you do to.

Squidoo Lens Performance

Posted by Christine on December 15, 2008

Just wanted to post a quick update on my squidoo lens, as I have not done so in a while.

I have 2 top performing lens, way ahead of the rest. They take turns being in the lead, though one gets there from SE clicks, and the other from my own signature link through social network and blogs.

The first one is about Eco-Domes and how you can build your own snad bag home. It’s really fun to see one go up in fast forward time through one of the youtube videos I included on the page.

–> http://www.squidoo.com/eco-dome

The other is about earning money from home and what people are doing through this one particular program with only a one time lifetime membership of $3.

This one I drive traffic to from sites like myspace and others, and from my business related blog.

–> http://www.squidoo.com/WF3D

So there you are. Check them out. If you are a squidoo member already, leave me a comment, or a hello, or anything you feel inspired too.

Dance Movies and Ballroom Dancing

Posted by Christine on November 15, 2008

I’ve just posted a new squidoo lens. It’s been a while since I made one and after watching “Take The Lead” with Antonio Banderas, I felt inspired… who wouldn’t, watching Banderas in an impressive Tango scene? (BTW, you can see what I’m talking about through a youtube video on the lens)

This one is about dance movies -you know, the ones with a usually thin plot revolving around dance in one form or another. I only have a few movies featured for the moment, and do plan on adding more soon.

Ballroom dancing is all the rage now with movies and the current, very popular Dancing With The Star show. There is a certain grace, elegance, and certainly “sexual” aspect to it that makes it mesmerizing to watch.

Here’s an exerpt of the introduction:

Dancing movies inspire us. Sure, some are the epitome of campy, but they make us want to get up and move our bodies, feel the passion of dancing, run away with the dance instructor… oh, uh, ahem, ((cough)), sorry, got a little carried away there.

As I was saying… most dance movies follow a somewhat generic plot line, this being secondary to the visual candy of the dancers. After all, that’s why we watch, isn’t it? To forget our woes and loose ourselves in a magical world.

I’ve got a few titles on my renting list. When I do watch them, I’ll add them on the lens with a quick personal note.

So take a peak, and like I said, be sure to watch the videos:

If you like it, come back here and leave me a comment…  :-)

Enjoy.
