Comfortdoc on Squidoo

I am pleased to announce that my How to Use the Polaroid Module was the winning lens for the Giant Squid Community Showcase.

RMS noted:

This outstanding lens creatively uses the story of The Three Little Bears to give in depth directions on how to get your photos to look just right when using the polaroid module to feature them.

Comfortdoc’s great lens includes information about photo size, adding borders to your image and making composite images. It also describes the best ways to include copyright and photo credit for the pictures you are displaying in the module and supplies links to online sites where you can easily polaroidize (and add graphics) your own photos.

How to Use the Polaroid Module is also a member of  The Answer Deck where the Giants share their best tips and advice with the Squidoo.com community.

This lens was was fun to do. I was inspired by seeing too many of images being not quite right and messing up otherwise very nice lenses.

I hope that lensmasters get inspired after reading this lens to use this fun module.

The We Can Solve It lens was judged to by the community to be the winning Giant Squid Community Showcase Lens for the week.

According to the blog,

This weeks winning lens in the Choose Your Favorite Giant Lens Contest is We Can Solve It by Comfortdoc. The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection and Kirsti has done an amazing job showcasing this charity.

Her lens includes numerous videos that champion the environment, I especially like the one from Al Gore. The We Can Solve it lens donates to the Squidoo Charity Fund, Global Giving and Earthjustice.

Thanks guys for helping spread the word.

In addition, “We Can Solve It” was the one of the recipients of the Squids Choice Award for the Month of July where the theme was “Going Green” along with my other green related lens Save Energy - You Have the Power.

Mamma Mia is being called the feel good cinema event for the summer, or “Grease” for the older generation. For anyone who remembers listening to ABBA, this is the summer fun film for you.

I am *so* excited about the Mamma Mia movie coming out this month (July 18) that I not only made one, but two lenses on the topic.

We love Mamma Mia! is a Squidflix lens that explores the Mamma Mia! Movie. Weigh in your whether you’ll be seeing the Movie and whether or not you like the music of ABBA. It is currently ranked # 5 on the Top 100 Best Squidflix Films.

Mamma Mia! - The Movie, The Music, The Musical, The Song explores even more about the movie, including the connection with September 11, 2001 (9/11), interviews with some of the stars, a look at the Mamma Mia, the musical that the movies is based upon and finally the song by ABBA that inspired it all.

We’ve been listening to the album since it came out on Tuesday and they’ve been dancing in their “car” booster seats. My girls even wanted to take it over to Grandma’s yesterday to keep listening to it.

I’ve added both Mamma Mia lenses to the Favorite Giant Lens Contest. It would be great to have these lenses featured on the day that Mamma Mia comes out in the theater.

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.

Giant Squid Discovered at IKEA

When we were at IKEA yesterday, my daughter’s came running up to find me…they were very excited to discover a Giant Squid Office set up.

With a desk on one wall and the Giant Squid, Dresser, Storage and Lights on another, my family decided that this would be the perfect environment for me to work on my Squidoo stuff.

Too bad the Giant Squid wasn’t for sale.
