My newest lens, My favorite non-hits by James Taylor, is featured today on the Squidoo Music blog!
By the way, if you’re not following Squidoo Music, you need to start. Really. They’ve got some fantastic stuff.
Here’s a direct link to the blog post: This is what a music lens should be like: James Taylors’ non-hits
Chapel Hill Fiddler says some awfully nice things about the lens in her post. Thank you, Jane!
I found out with no warning whatsoever. I was doing some ordinary stuff on my Squidoo Dashboard and happened to look down at the “Lens of the Day” box at the bottom of the page. There was my own lens! I actually started hyperventilating!
I’m surprised that I didn’t get any kind of notification email, but maybe there will be something coming in the morning.
It’s a lens that I do think is valuable — “How would he get to my PayPal account if I died tomorrow?”. It documents my process of making sure that if something unexpected happened to me, my online accounts could be accessed and properly handled.
I encourage everyone to think about this issue and make sure that the important parts of your online life could be resolved without stressing out your loved ones during a time that would already be one of the hardest times in their lives.
I just made a lens sharing a true story in a brain teaser format. How did I get into my car after locking my keys in it? See if you can solve The Case of the Locked Beetle.
My Thanksgiving lens, “The Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” just won a purple star! I’m tingling all over.
My book review “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” received a purple star AND has been nominated in the “Best Book/Author Lens” category in the 2009 Giant Squid Awards! Check out the book review lenses and consider voting for me!

I did one for the Thanksgiving Cookoff. It’s a recipe I got from my mother: My Mom’s Thanksgiving Corn Casserole.
And I did a lensography of animal education lenses.
And I just put up a page on Christmas songs for gospel choir. I’ll be continuing to add to this one as the week progresses.
Enjoy.
Today my top lens, Best “one-rehearsal songs” for gospel choir, is lensranked at 935! I’m stoked!
It’s #33 in Music, right between KISS and Hannah Montana.
This is the highest-trafficked lens I have as well, and it has the most click-outs. I had made it in hopes that other choir directors would add items to the plexos so that I could learn about songs to teach to my own choir, but that hasn’t happened (yet). But clearly the lens has been beneficial to a lot of other people, so I feel good about that.
I just posted my first RocketMoms lens. It’s on a subject that I’ve needed to think about for a long time. So many important parts of our family’s life are managed through online accounts that only I know how to access. If I were suddenly not here, how would my loved ones manage them?
I’m also connected with online social networks and email groups. I would like for all of those connections to be resolved smoothly and not leave people wondering what the heck happened to me.
My new lens is documenting the process as I make plans for how all that information will be passed on in the event that I pass on.
You may very well be in need of the same kind of plan, so take a look at the lens:
Today, Faith Salie made her first appearance as a panelist on the radio show Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me!
I’ve added a module to my Wait Wait lens with my first impressions of her and a bit from her Wiki-bio. She has also been added to the “Vote for your favorite panelist” poll.
It’s that time of the week again. Let’s find a couple of buried treasures here in my fan-club . . .
Allan Wallace’s lowest-ranked lens is a chapter from the novel he’s publishing on Squidoo — Complicit Simplicity 21.
My pal Kim’s lowest-ranked has got some valuable information on Choosing Children’s Outdoor Play Equipment. And it was the first lens she ever made! Impressive work right out of the gate!
My current lowest-ranked is The Consistent Life Ethic, presenting a set of viewpoints that defies the usual categorization of liberal-vs-conservative.
