I went to post today and was notified that I could not until I had my blog - http://legbamel.blogspot.com - reviewed to prove that it wasn't a spam blog. As far as I can tell, there is nothing on my blog that would trigger such a...

legbamel They reviewed mine and got it back up in three days. I think it's like the tax system - a certain percent of people get audited, whether or not they've done anything wrong. Good luck!

I am a coffee-lover. I cannot imagine myself starting a day without drinking my favorite beverage - hot coffee. For me,I believe that it stimulates my brain and it energizes my nerves. I consume between two to three cups of coffee...

legbamel I drink 2-3 cups a day as well, but my cup holds 28 ounces or about half a pot. I am a huge coffee fiend and drink it all day. There's always a cup near my hand, at work or at home! I drink more than I should. To be fair, all of those horror stories they...

I started a group for environmental lenses at Squidoo - http://www.squidoo.com/groups/environmental_causes - and the first few days a bunch of people jumped in. Hooray! But since it left the list of "Newest Groups" I have had only...

legbamel That's a great idea! I can't remember if I linked the group from my related lens or not. Thanks. I'll have to go check that out.

There are a lot of Helium writers here at Mylot, do you know if the rating stop after the contest ended or is it still an ongoing process? I have noticed that my articles in the contest stopped at the same spot, while articles...

legbamel It depends how many articles there are on the topic. Theoretically, each article must be rated against every other article there. Realistically, I don't think that happens because there are just so many articles and so few people that really take the time to...

Usually when I read (or scan) a lens when I get to the bottom and see the guestbook I sign it and rank the lens but if there isn't one I tend to go onto the next lens unless of course the lens is really good then I will rate it...

legbamel I'm on the other side of this one - I'd rather they signed the guestbook with an honest comment than give me 5 stars hoping that I'll do the same. At least with the guestbook people can see that others have stopped by. With the stars, the early ratings can...

I love looking at people's squidoo lenses, especially if they have a work from home theme. I have several lenses, some of them have to do with work from home, others are just fun lenses such as how to make ice cream. Please...

legbamel Whoops! I thought I had one on there. I'll have to go add one. Thanks for the visit and the rating. I checked yours and discovered that I'd already been to a couple of your lenses. I went to a couple more and clicked on a few things. "See" you around! LOL

For the past few weeks I've heard lots of members requesting that others check out their My Lot profile. And, that's not really my style. I figure if someone wants to know which businesses that I'm associated with, they'll just...

legbamel I only just got in to edit my profile last week. I have never asked anyone to look at it! Even now, I have stuff there if people go looking for it but the only reason I'd direct someone there is if I wanted to direct them to all of my links at once. I try to...

legbamel Ha - obviously not everyone feels the same as you! I have a grand total of one entry in the guestbooks of my five lenses and I think I'm up to seven ratings now. I don't really care about the stars but I would love feedback from people who visit. I'd return...

legbamel I'm having a lot of fun at Squidoo, too. I don't really have a work-from-home theme, but I do focus on my on-line writing. I'll wander by your lensography. Please feel free to check out mine, too! http://www.squidoo.com/legbamel_lenses

I have found out that squidoo is by far the easies way to get listed in Google. Found a topic of interest, create a lens, ad some tags, and before long you may see your site listed under Google. I know that I have been...

legbamel During the contest the ratings for those topics are set at a higher priority so they show up on your rating screen more. After the contest, they're back in the rotation with the other million articles. Once they've all been rated by whatever number of folks do...

legbamel All you need to create a great blog is a passion for the subject about which you will be writing. If you don't care about your topic then please, don't add another blinking, flashing, blinding compilation of ads and referral links with nothing original to say....

legbamel I have a few recommendations. You have to be on Technorati. I get as much traffic from there as I do from my next 6 sources combined. Just make sure you tag your posts really well. I use BlogCatalog as my social networking spot for blogging. They have a great...

legbamel Could you explain why you find that disturbing? I think it's wonderful that so many people are rediscovering reading. If it convinces people to read more then I'm all for it! Plus, it's a good story. Obviously, it's complete fiction and the events are...

I for one, thought that as the final book in an outstanding series, Deathly Hallows was a little bit of a let down. Does anyone else share this feeling with me?

legbamel Heh, your story is more exciting than most romance novels I've read. Others, be warned that there are spoilers below. I figured that this one would be mostly wrapping up loose ends and closing down the story engine. I still didn't like the ending. It was...
