 SQUIDUtils is a fantastic new tool for Squidoo lensmasters. The website includes an advanced dashboard, where lensmasters can view information such as the PageRank of each of your lenses or groups, all on one page. In addition, it provides handy tools to link to or promote your lenses on other social networking websites.
In addition to the dashboard, the RSS feeds for your lenses, and simple tools for adding Amazon.com products to your lenses.
P.S. If you have not experienced Squidoo yet, it is a free service where anyone can create a one-page overview (called a lens) on the topic of their choice.
No technical expertise is required to create a lens. In addition, the service includes revenue sharing, so one can easily create lenses to earn money, or better yet, raise money for the charities of their choice. They may also choose to split up the pot and do both. A lensmaster is Squidoo's term for people who create lenses. For example, I am a lensmaster named GenGlo.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about Squidoo, or promoting your brand online. I may even post your question and answer here on the blog, so include your name and website, if you would like me to post this with your question.
 I've been using the Firefox browser for as long as I can remember, but I just discovered this new shortcut today. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Anyway, you can assign keywords to your bookmarks, so that you may quickly bring up your favorite links without sifting through your bookmarks.
For example. Lets say you wanted to bookmark GenGlo Consulting & Design. There are a number of ways to do that, using bookmark this page, bookmark this tab, etc. I think most of us know how to create a bookmark by now. However, once you have created that bookmark, you may create a quick shortcut by adding a keyword.
Go to the Bookmarks menu, right click on the GenGlo Consulting and Design bookmark, select Properties, then enter your desired keyword in the Keyword field, for this example, use genglo. Click ok and you have created your shortcut. Now to get to this website, all you need to do is type your keyword on the Firefox address line. Type the keyword genglo and you will be directed to http://www.genglo.com/news.html
Isn't that handy?
Do you have any great Firefox tips to share? I'd love to hear them.
 Finally! I was not prepared for the emotion involved with receiving my college degree.
First, I received a congratulatory graduation card from my 82 year old Mother. I sobbed when I read it. It reminded me of the importance of this achievement, regardless of one's age. When my Mother was young, few women had the opportunity to graduate from college.
I also had a number of life events that interfered with my life plan. When I was in high school, I had every intention of going directly to college, receiving my degree, and becoming a scientist. Unfortunately, my father died shortly after I graduated high school, and this dramatically changed the path of my life. I entered the work force, rather than going directly to school. I ultimately discovered my passion and focused on my business, before returning to college.
Fortunately, I returned to school and finally earned my degree this year. Once again, I found myself in tears when I opened the folder and read my diploma. I am proud to say that I graduated Summa Cum Laude, with a 4.0 GPA, as well.
I finally completed my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with a Marketing minor.
Now I begin the task of finding that perfect job. I've updated my resume and signed up for LinkedIn.
