So I keep hearing how easy, and how important, it is to build Squidoo lenses. But before today I had only seen one Squidoo lens, and did not have an account. So I thought I’d try my hand at building one from scratch.

Of course, there was no point learning without bringing you guys along with me. So I did.

Check out the screen capture video I recorded while learning from Step One…

It did take a little more than ten minutes for me to get the first lens done… so I had to cut the video in two for YouTube happiness. But then again… I had a lens up in a little over ten minutes.

Just for fun I created the lens Is Alex Jeffreys just a hack? Of course the answer to that question is a resounding, NO… but I thought the title may attract viewers of all types. A little sneaky… but not much.

So check out the videos… there is actually a third video. I didn’t want to waste time figuring out whether I could insert HTML in the text… or maybe it was BBcode or something else… so I recorded a second video showing what I learned while editing my text boxes and adding my blog posts.

Leave me some comments to let me know what you think… I did learn not to scroll my screen so much when my personal information is up… had to blur a big chunk of screen there for a bit. Another learning experience… now you don’t have to make THAT mistake.

Without any further ado…
