Comfortdoc on Squidoo

I just discovered that the Squidoo SuperHero Project Lens has been named the Lens of the Day for June 30, 2008. (So far it’s hit the dashboard, but not the LOTD Blog.)

Needless to say I am rather excited that my efforts to promote and help the SuperHero Project have been recognized.

I hope that the LOTD status will help bring some recognition to the project.

Who knows, maybe someone will be inspired to make 5 lenses before the July 1, 2008 deadline for submitting charity lenses.

The countdown is on for the Squidoo Superhero Project.

You have until July 1st to make and submit your SuperHero lenses.

The Challenge: Make 5 lenses about 5 of your everyday superheroes.

The Prize: $500 for Your Favorite Charity

The 5 most sincere, creative, well-written lenses will be selected by a panel of lensmasters to win $500 each to the charity of your choice.

Deadline: July 1, 2008.

Eligibility: Make 5 lenses using the SuperHero Template for the Squidoo Charity Fund. Proceeds for the lens need to be set at 100% for the Squidoo Charity Fund.

To Enter: Submit your best 5 Superhero lenses in by July 1st 2008 by emailing them to superheroes-at-squidoo.com.

The Perks:

Winners will also get a spot as Lens of the Day.

Winners will also be judged by the Community on the Squidoo SuperHero Project Lens and awarded a Squidoo SuperHero Favorite Badge.

I decided to have a bit more fun with the SuperHero Project so more lenses and lensmasters could be recognized for their SuperHero Lenses.

At the Squidoo SuperHero Project Lens I’ve set up set up several voting link Plexo’s in different categories. Visitors and Lensmasters can vote for your favorite SuperHero Lenses.

Winning lensmasters in each category will get this cool SuperHero Badge to display on their lenses. In the event of a tie, both lenses will be dubbed Winners.

Voting for your favorite SuperHero will be kept open for one week after the SuperHero Challenge, so until July 8, 2008.

Note: Only lenses created under the SuperHero Template or listed under the official SuperHero lenses will be added to the Plexo lists on the Squidoo SuperHero Project Page.

I’ve also set up the of the Squidoo SuperHero Group as a way to feature all of the great SuperHeroes lenses that have been submitted to the SuperHero Project.

Squidoo SuperHero Group was created to highlight lenses made as part of the Superhero Project.

In Squidoo Superhero Project lensmasters are challenged to create 5 lenses for charity about heroes who have inspired you, mentored you, changed the way you see the world, or just made you smile.

All Lensmasters who have created lenses for the SuperHero Project are encouraged to submit their lenses to the Squidoo SuperHero Group.

Note: Only lenses created under the SuperHero Template or listed under the official SuperHero lenses will be added to the Squidoo SuperHero Group and the Plexo lists on the Squidoo SuperHero Project Page.

What is the SuperHero Project?

The SuperHero Project is the brainchild of Anne Reidy, Non-Profit Organizer at Squidoo as a way of raising money for the Squidoo Charity Fund.

The goal of the Squidoo SuperHero Project is to create 5 lenses for charity about heroes who have inspired you, mentored you, changed the way you see the world, or just made you smile.

Loss, Grief and Bereavement - Number 1 in Health 

My Loss, Grief and Bereavement Lens has finally made it to the # 1 spot in Health and Medicine. The lens has been the top spot in Health and Medicine since May 29, 2008.

It has not been an easy task, since Frankster’s Long Term Care For People You Love lens is on another important topic.

I am really very happy about the lens getting to the top of the health topics.

This is quite an accomplishment for me if you consider I’ve spent more than 10 years trying to get the medical profession to recognize that Loss, Grief and Bereavement are issues that impact people’s health and well being.

Thanks to all who visited and voted.

Featured in the Giant Squid Showcase

My Squidwho lens Who is Diana Princess of Wales? was featured on the Giant Squid Showcase on June 3, thanks to Robin (rms).

Also mentioned were several of my charity lenses namely the AIDS Research Alliance and We can solve it, and my pretty cool Squidoodles.
