Do you Squidoo?
As a fervent reader of Seth Godin I had often heard him discussing the virtues of his Squidoo Lens site and 'umm..ed' and 'aah..ed' as whether I should head on over and set something up.
Well, I finally did yesterday. I've called it 60 second Home Garden Tips and it's full of some of the things that I have enjoyed about gardening. There's a quiz asking for you to vote on your favourite Celebrity Gardener or submit one that I haven't added.
You can do the same with the Gardening Tips, voting for the ones you've enjoyed and adding others from the around the web. I'm keen to see how popular these lenses are and can become and if they offer any tangible traffic benefits to blogs.
It was good to see Colleen from In the Garden Online has already created a lens for her blog as well. If you would like to create your own you can do that here...

I started a Squidoo lens last year. The more visited one is "The Art of Running a Small Garden Center or Nursery" It can be found here

It's an interesting idea that seems to be catching on. Squidoo that is, not running a small garden center! ;-)

Stuart,
Your lens is just great! Masterful execution, unlike my own mish-mash of info on my lens. I really love the way you've found a way to collect all of those great tips you've given us on your blog. You've created a very useful lens that I'm sure many gardeners will be thankful for.

Trey - I really enjoyed your lens and great to see another blogger using this medium.
Colleen - thanks for your lovely comments. The hard thing that I find with Squidoo is what NOT to add as a module. They all look so interesting but I'm sure would just clutter up my lens in no time. I think I shall add them gradually as people come and visit it.
