The Poddyland News

Just a quick update for today as I am busy…

The lens rankings took until about 2pm (EST) to update, some surprises as about a dozen of my lenses have had better than normal traffic in the last 2 days, but not all of them went up in rank.  I think traffic outside of Squidoo doesn’t always count as high as traffic from inside.  But over half of my Top 40 lenses went up rather than down at least.

I now have 2 lenses perched to leap into the Top 2,000, and several about to reach the Top 10,000, so things aren’t looking too shabby, definitely better than they were a few days ago.  I think an angel might be responsible for one of the lenses rising, not sure about the rest though.  But blessings are always welcomed here

In the Lounge my thread on the Agonies of waiting for the lensrank to update has taken off today, with lots of silly song lyrics coming in, as well as photos.  So don’t forget to check there in the Chatter Room and come up with some entries yourself.

LENS STATUS
Top 100       0
Top 2,000    9
Top 10,000   5
Lenses 66

I was taking a look at the Angels forum on the Lensmasters Lounge, and it seems that the Angels haven’t commented on any of the new requests for blessings in a while.   I have a few theories on that…  Just wondered what you all thought…

Maybe a blessing should remain a secret, and not open to the world.  Otherwise one person could say “you blessed their lens, how about mine”.

There are so many requests these days, lots of which are from lensmasters with their first lenses too.  I like to think that my lenses are good, but they didn’t instantly get that way.  Maybe the angels are getting miffed with the lack of quality in the lenses being put forward.

We just went through a monthend, actally quarter end, and Giant Squid induction.  Maybe at the end of the month the angels, like the rest of us, are busy with their own stuff, tarting up lenses, working on traffic and rankings, to have time for mere mortals and blessings.  In which case I would expect to see the traffic in the forum pick up at any time.

Any thoughts?
