Our American Dream, by lensmaster SixB

Our American Dream is an account of the immigration of the lensmaster's family as well as a tribute to Ellis Island. What did I find interesting in this lens? Well, I never went to a foreign country as a potential citizen; only as a tourist. So, immigration is something I ignore entirely. Actually, I'm more interested by history and this page is about history too. I thus learned what it took to become an American citizen in the past decades and during the previous century. Where did the immigrant came before being allowed to enter the United States, how many times they had to wait in Ellis Island, and much more.


Asperger's Child: From Mom's Concern To Diagnosis, And Beyond by lensmaster karatepooh

Lensmaster karatepooh is mother to an Asperger child. She accounts the journey of her son as an Asperger child. This page doesn't carry a complaint, it just tells you what the Asperger syndrome is and how the lensmaster copes with it. You'll also learn how many people are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, and includes the story of Christopher, her child. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it does break your heart, but the page is always interesting and you don't want to leave before the end... and even after the end, you wish that the author keeps adding content.


How We Engineered Squidoo by giltotherescue, Squidoo's Chief Engineer

I Squidoo, what about you? Have you ever wondered how Squidoo was born? Who, apart from Seth Godin was behind the project? Who were the guys and girls who developed the site? How We Engineered Squidoo is an account of how it all began in 2005. The lens is not that new, but I seriously think that all Fresh Squids - and even experienced Squids - should read this lens to understand and apprehend what Squidoo is and how it actually works.

 
My Favourite CSS Tricks on Squidoo by lensmaster thefluffanutta - the lensmaster tools builder

Apart from coming up with fantastic tools for lensmasters, thefluffanutta is also a real lensmaster and does create Squidoo lenses. While he does create average lenses, like anyone else on Squidoo, he also brought to the summit the How To Squidoo lensbuilding. And so, I fell in love with thefluffanutta Favourite CSS Tricks on Squidoo; which tells you how to create exquisite lenses and also how to play with very special CSS codes so that you can make very special lenses. I repeat: this is not the average how to CSS or HTML lens!


Use Convict Records To Trace Your Ancestor Online by lensmaster WordCustard

Almost everyone would like to know where they come from, who were their ancestors, what they did, what was their occupation, and so on. And what a pleasure to learn that you're about to get access to all the needed information about your origins! And how sad is to learn that your ancestor was a convict! However you should know that if your ancestor wasn't the Duke or Earl and/or King of Pacific Pie, it's hard to actually know what your ancestor did in their times. The big advantage as descendant of a convict is that you can use convict records to trace your ancestor online and get all the information you want - and sometimes more, like physical details regarding your ancestor (especially for these times when cameras didn't exist). And having a convict as ancestor isn't always worse... how many of them wouldn't have been convicts if they have lived in the 21st century? 80% of them, for sure!


Small Garden Design Ideas by lensmaster HomeDesigner

There aren't many solutions
1. lensmaster HomeDesigner is an experienced lensmaster that we all know under another lensmaster name. 
2. lensmaster HomeDesigner really joined Squidoo on Feb 8th this year and learned how to craft a lens so fast that I directly fell in love with the design I saw on this page! Whatever solution it is, the lens is worth a visit on your part, along with a nice comment and/or more if you want!



Reminder: Don't forget to vote for your favorite lenses at the Fresh Squids Challenge lens. You'll be pleased to see how well our Fresh Wonders worked and how much they learned is a very short amount of time! Along with the Fresh Squids Challenge, is the Nail that Niche challenge that is also open to Fresh Squids. Vote for your favorite lens there too. Thanks for them!






As for me, I built a new lens: Strawberry Love - I Love Strawberries. This Squidoo page is actually my strawberry lensography. What is a lensography? Well, it is something between a library and a biography. It does include short texts that explain why I built some lenses that are strawberries related and then I mention the link that will bring you to the strawberry lens. Hope you'll like :)
