Squidoo has changed the way its Angels operate again. Now that there are more categories and sub-categories for lenses, Angels look after a particular sub-category – mine is Growing Plants.

It’s true – since September 1st I’ve blessed 105 lenses on Squidoo counting those I did today. What’s amazing is the wide variety of subjects covered on the network. There are pages on just about every topic you can think of. The very first one that got a blessing from me this month was The Great Depression Era – 1930s while number 105 is about the Day of the Dead.
In between those two are pages about calligraphy, patchwork quilting, dogs, flowers, music, autism, recipes and just about everything else you can imagine.

People are now thinking about their summer vacations, recipes, drinks, clothes and many other associated topics. We need to have the information ready and waiting for them now.

Squidoo user names, the ones that appear on every lens as well as the lensmaster’s page, can tell us something about the person behind the name.
Many people, myself included, use a nom de plume and there can be many reasons for this. When I joined Squidoo, I predominantly wrote elsewhere and I wanted to keep the two activities totally separate so I chose the name ‘Stazjia’ for my writing on Squidoo. I did, however, put my real name in my information. I didn’t feel it was absolutely imperative to conceal my identity.
