Many people used Squidoo was a selling platform, either to promote their own products or to gain affiliate income by promoting other products. I wrote a few lenses like that, such as my &#8220;Gifts for Knitters&#8221; lens, but I would always include plenty of info that was not thinly veiled advertising copy.<\/p>\n<p>In the last year, Squidoo has radically changed their focus. They now reject articles for a number of reasons, some very random. They even put a flag on popular lenses that were approved years ago. Traffic to Squidoo in general has fallen, and the most popular lenses get almost no traffic.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m going to take the lenses that Squidoo rejected and move them to my blog. The articles will be on a variety of subjects, grouped in the Articles section. Most will have affiliate links to Amazon &amp;\/or Zazzle. [I make a small amount of income if you buy something through a link.] As I re-create the articles here, I&#8217;ll be deleting them at Squidoo.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy seeing this new side of my writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow &#8230; has it really been a full year since my last blog post?
