New Squidoo Themes – Easy Street or Purple People Eater!?

Monday, June 15th, 2009 at 11:10 am

LOL! Finally our friends over at Squidoo have cottoned to the fact that all those orange lenses were… well… a bit orange, YUK!

Well, they have finally got around to adding some themes, including a new default one.

There are 8 in all (including the default):-

Default
Gone Camping
Purple People Eater
Easy Street
Moment of Zen
Paintball
Highlighter
The Professor

So, which would our Grim Friend choose for The Reaper Lenses? Surely, Purple People Eater or Moment of Zen?

But no… he’s gone for Easy Street! Typical I suppose… I mean he just hangs around all day (and night) waiting for people to… well, you know what he does.

Anyway, check out the result here:-

Niche Marketing Reaper

Others that stand out are ‘Gone Camping’… no, it’s not pink… it’s green… good for ‘green issues’ or ‘Paintball’ if you want to make a splash!

Whichever one you pick, pick one! Don’t leave it as the default.

Just go into Edit mode and the Themes can be selected from the top right hand corner (above your Bio).

Tip: The new layouts have shortened what is actually on display in your visible Bio box. So if you have a ‘url’ in there (and you should have) make sure it’s visible.

Tip: The new Themes only work if your lenses are maxed.

Tip: Experiment with different Themes. I’m not sure if one will convert better than another yet but changing the Theme counts as an ‘update’ to your lenses and having an updated lens improves your ranking within Squidoo.
