Once Upon a Lens

I haven’t really spent much time at SquidTop lately other than to see what everyone else is doing and to leave a few comments. I haven’t added any new lenses because I’ve been busy updating current ones (as well as other non-related work). Today I’m inspired to talk about by bottom 20 lenses thanks to this post/lens by JustBon.

Taking a closer look at your bottom twenty lenses is definitely a good opportunity to see where a little work needs to be done either in regard to adding a module or some kind of promotion. Here are my bottom twenty lenses. Please stop by, have a gander and leave a comment.

1. 10 Respected Luxury Brands

20. Juliette and the Licks: Hot Kiss Lyrics

I’m not surprised that 13 of my bottom 20 are lyrics. There are a lot of huge lyric sites out there to compete with. But I loved Victoria Neely’s tip about creating simple lyric lenses with the same format and I had wanted for a while to highlight curvy girl songs. Other than the initial linking and promotion (and creating an index lens - Big Girl Music) I haven’t spent much time on these lenses other than to make sure that the videos are still working.

Big Girl Knits is a work in progress and as I work through some of the patterns I plan to add photos and pattern conclusions. 13th Warrior is a new lens and I still need to add character/actor information which I think will improve it greatly (maybe this weekend). I also want to make my fat blogs a little prettier.

Otherwise I have no major updates planned for these lenses and I can live with that. I will however make a point of providing some back links for them for the remainder of this week and see how that goes.
