Tips for updating your Squidoo lenses...

If you don't already know, updating your Squidoo lenses on a more frequent basis helps bring up its lens rank. However, if you just update without making any changes, it's pretty pointless. If you really want to spice up your lens and bring in some new visitors, you have to make a few changes. So, here are a few tips on updating an out-of-date lens!

1. Check for typos
Make sure your grammar and spelling is correct in your lens! If you see mistakes, be sure to fix them! And you can also tweak sentences around to make them sound better.
2. Change out your intro picture
Make your lens feel more fresh with a bigger more interesting intro picture!
3. Try out a few new modules
Go into the Module Adder and click to see all modules. You might find a few you didn't know existed!
4. Play around with the HTML...
...And maybe you'll find a new style you like that you can reformat your lens in! Happens to me all the time. ;)
5. Take it to the forums at SquidU.
If you haven't asked already, ask other lensmasters for critique on your lens! I've gotten some great feedback, and hopefully given some as well. It's really helpful!

Also, I FINALLY published my 40th lens. I don't think I can make this Giant Squid deadline however. Only 15 days left and I still need 10 lenses. Maybe I'll try for the June deadline. That way I can make sure my lenses are all high quality. *sigh* We'll see. I know I'm going to be very busy in June, what with the moving and all. But 40 is a happy number as well! :)

So here is my 40th lens! What new features do you want to see in the new iPhone OS 3.0? With the firmware coming out this summer, everyone is buzzing about the rumors, so I decided to go ahead and make a Twtterstrm for it. Tell me what y'all think!
