My Three Worst Lenses and My One Big Mistake

I have had some published lenses drop in rank, so they went into the abyss called the WIP red bin. The "Works in Progress". A couple managed to be yanked back up into featured and rank status, but one still languishes in the badlands of the backend of my Squidoo account.

The Notorious Three (as of today)

  1. Garden Lensography
  2. I Love Winter
  3. Best Cookie Recipes
I am not going to say they don't deserve to be lowly and ignored, just that the first is in the red and the others are in danger. After all, it is nearly Midsummer and no one feels like thinking about Winter or Christmas right now. And the garden lensography is more hopeful thinking. Although I have a fair amount of garden lenses so far.

What about that huge mistake I made? Read about it (the whole story) right here....
in my Squid Journey, Big Mistake. I call this my live and learn category. The story of my life is that I make lots of mistakes, but I work hard to learn from them. One that I need to remember (I am kicking myself as I write this- not an easy task) is the Bible verse: "abstain from all appearance of evil". If something is even close to breaking the TOS of a site, even if you mean well and don't intend to actually do anything wrong, it might bite you, and people don't have to be nice and gracious to you. But the people at Squidoo are very nice and they mostly just want to create a quality site, which benefits us all.

The bright note (to raise the level of the mood here) is that I nominated my best lens for LOTD. Doesn't hurt to try right?

I hope this post doesn't manage to dooce me. It shouldn't but I don't seem to have my bearings in this particular community just yet. Still a newbie.
