I thought I would write a post about the "need to be edited" button on our Squidoo dashboards. Why? Well, because it took me about a year to realize what it was, so I assume other people will miss it too.
There is so much advice for Squidoo lensmasters when they are new, and even not so new. It is often hard to take it all in, and even harder to remember it. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. If you are someone like me, who doesn't like to read the directions, but likes to just jump in and do things, it is easy to miss some of the finer nuances.
So in case you don't know, every one of us has a "Need to be edited" link on the left side of our dashboard. If you click this link, you will see a list of all your lenses that have not been edited for 60 days. This list updates daily, so after you have been on Squidoo for 60 days, you will start to have a growing list unless you update the lens. There is no rule to say that you have to update your lenses at any certain time, however, updating a lens and publishing it gives your lens a lensrank boost. And what do you know, when I go back and check my list, I find things on almost every lens that I missed the first time around, or the second, or third, etc. Not only that, but I can apply new things that I have learned in the last 60 days that will enhance my lens's performance, appearance, or information.
So check out your list of lenses that need to be edited. You might be surprised (like I was!)My most recently update lens is The Squidoo Zazzle Gallery.
