Happy Friday Squidoo! I hope everyone is having a great day. We’re closing out January with some cool new tools, quests and programs.

Have you ever been to the Auckland Zoo? Me either, but after reading the Photos From Auckland Zoo lens by Flynn_the_Cat, I feel like I have. The lens is a spectacular collection of information and amazing photos taken by the lensmaster of some of the animals who inhabit the Zoo. It’s a super resource and...Taking a Cruise with the Elderly
While there’s a lot of stuff Grandma can’t do anymore – you probably won’t find her skateboarding or playing World of Warcraft, but today you never know – going on a luxurious cruise is one thing she CAN still do.

Unless someone does, things start to fray around the edges. Often it's the CEO or the manager who sets a standard of caring about the details. Even better is a culture where everyone cares, and where each person reinforces that...SquidUtils Blog
Google Analytics comes to Squidoo!
Here is some news that is sure to delight all you stats junkies: Squidoo integrates Google Analytics for Lensmasters.

Well, for two main reasons: There’s a single place on set it up, and Related posts:New Lens Workshop and New Addon
This week Squidoo have updated the lens workshop. You probably won’t notice it looking any different, but it is now much quicker when editing and publishing lenses.

Sherry Venegas replied to Sherry Venegas's discussion 'Add A Lens A Day About Recipes' in the group List a Lens a Day
I find it very hard to get a recipe lens to climb in lensrank. I guess because that topic is so heavy with lenses.
Sherry Venegas replied to Sherry Venegas's discussion 'What do you like to add to a product lens or gift lens?' in the group List a Lens a Day
Do you add the keyword "shopping" or "buy" in the product lens? I am having a slow go of getting affiliate lenses to convert. CJ and even Amazon.
Sherry Venegas replied to GypsyOwl's discussion 'Lensography Design -- One Way To Showcase Your Niche' in the group List a Lens a Day
I have to redo my lensographies because they are set up with the related lenses mod. Adding a few products for each lens showcased is a good preview idea.

"Tamar and I did lots and lots of research on kid birthday parties and started experimenting with our ideas on kids and during parties whenever the opportunity arose. We wrote up lots of content for the site and I was in charge of strategy and building the site from a technical aspect (although, with Site Build It!, you really don't need any technical knowledge because you can build a site through simple building blocks and monitor every aspect of traffic through a consolidated control center.). In no time, both of us became kid birthday junkies." ~ Elad Shippony
