Poddyland News 27th August 2008
It looks like only one of my posts from yesterday made it to the front page of Squidtop, Favorite Lensmasters - Debnet.
I am not sure what happened to the previous one, maybe only your latest post gets added to the front page, but it did contain a few tips for using Squidtop, features of Wordpress that some of you might not be familiar with. In case you missed it, and I suspect everyone did, Here Is The Link
It took forever for the lens rankings to update today, and during a discussion in the Lensmaster Lounge I had an idea to create a lens about what we do while we are waiting for the lens rankings to update. It’s not only the change in rank that takes place, it’s the giving of the Green Light to new lenses, so it’s important to us all. Do we tap our feet, pace up and down, tear our hair out, or what?
If you would like to contribute to my lens, I need from you a brief description of what you do while waiting for the lens rankings to update, plus a candid photo to go along with it. The details of how to submit your entry for the lens are in This Thread.
Meantime, the rankings did update finally early this afternoon, and here is my current status.
LENS STATUS
Top 100 0
Top 2,000 9
Top 10,000 4
Lenses 60

For Europeans it’s even better… Here, in Croatia it was around 16:00 h when stats were updated and my newest published lens came out of WIP….

Might as well just assume it’s going to take an extra day to get new lenses into production. Tell you what I do, since I often want to link lenses into each other… I create a lens with it’s basic modules in place, then I publish it, even though the modules might only contain a few notes about what they are going to contain. Then, when I do update the lens, it’s already got a head start on it’s way to being green. If I take 2 more days to complete it, the lens is already green by the time I do.

You might have to wait a few days Brenda to see the Waiting For Rankings page. It’s just a thought right now, and no photos submitted yet, but I hope enough people will be brave enough to take some great pictures and take part.
