Is anybody else on Squidoo? If not, then get over there. I was flicking through one of my writing magazines and there was an article on it, so naturally I checked it out and it seems to be a decent website.

The article talked about making money, getting work and getting fans and the point of Squidoo is to have a collection of article pages called 'lenses'. You can pick up royalties for your writing and depending on your rating, you will be advertised and the higher and what you put on there gets quite nicely advertised, (you can see where people are getting referred from, I've had one from Yahoo and another from AOL's website) though the better your rating, the better it is advertise and the more money you can generate, though I don't imagine you earn much. But what interests me on here is that the articles mentioned that people get contacted for work through the website. That to me sounds like a fantastic opportunity for portfolio pages as well as blog-styled articles.

If you have any leneses, then please post them up and well, of course I am looking to get my lenses rated, so please rate them. Though it's all related to writing, I can see a couple of things being handy in story creation for Game Design Theory

Here are mine:
Surviving NaNoWriMo and Making that First Draft
Nations: Fictional Writing of Language and the civilizations of new nations
Bryn Price: A Writer's Portfolio (I'll rename it)

And I've been using the website to update my Twitter, so Twitter has suddenly stop being boring, as strangely I've had a couple of new followers since setting this up.

Cheers, and please rate me.

I started reading that as I a little interested in the history of other countries and given every time Kim Jong Il is mentioned, I just think of Trey Parker's and Matt Stone's image of him, "Herro!" So it's good to learn a little bit more about him, other than being a cockroach from out of space.

Saw your "tweets" about it (Wow I hate that word), seems interesting. Time for me to check this out, looks to be interesting stuff.
