I’ve just been made a Giant Squid on Squidoo!
Since July 2007 I’ve created over 100 lenses (squid talk for webpages) on a huge variety of subjects, some good, some still work in progress and possibly a few abandoned ones that I’m unlikely to go back to having lost interest in the subject!
I hadn’t quite expected to be made a Giant Squid yet as this moniker is reserved for people who have created at least 50 high quality lenses and I wasn’t sure I was upto that level yet. So I was quite surprised to find I had an email notifying me that I had been made a Giant Squid. The thing I’m going to enjoy most about this is the ability to set up a lens template so that I can quickly create lenses from scratch without the constant adding of modules! I don’t know why they don;t make this facility available to all, but I’m glad I’ve got it now!
The first thing I need to do though is create a Lensography so that all my lenses are collated in one place. As I’ve left this for so long now it’s going to be one helluva a job! Also, I’m going to start blogging about my lenses as advised by MrLewisSmile on his Squidcool Blog.
If you want to check out my Lensmaster Page, feel free to do so, and I’ll update here when the lensography is complete, probably with a link in the side panel.

Congratulations!
The lens template is really really good, isn’t it? I completely agree that it should be available to all. But then, GiantSquids wouldn’t feel so special
Cool new blog. I’m now subscribed!

Heck! I didn’t expect a comment that quickly! I’m only just getting this blog out of it’s box! The paint isn’t even dry yet!

Hooray for you! Blogging is a lot of fun, although I still find it amazing people actually come read what I’ve written.
I’ll be adding you to my Bloglines now so I can keep up with what you have to say. I’m sure it’ll be worth reading. (Found you via the trackback from SquidCool.)

I’m happy for you, and I’m thankful for your great example as a lensmaster. I’m learning a lot from you. All the best for your future!

Congratulations on the new Giant status! I can happily say that I know how you feel! I’ve added your blog to my Squidoo Changed My Life lens, and I’ve decided I’ve been negligent in not having a Squid-Blogroll on my own blog about Squidoo, so I’ll be adding that soon, too. Looking forward to your lensography!

Congratulations! I’m in the same elite group of Giant Squids in May!
