Squidoo member login7/21/2023 ![]() Thank you so much for the warm welcome, Phyllis! HubPages looks like a really nice new home for me! I haven't created any hubs here yet, I am waiting for my lenses to transfer before I start shuffling around, but I am certainly looking forward to it. I like writing about quite a lot of things, pets (I was the man's best friend contributor on Squidoo), DIY projects, recipes, family activities, boating, photography and much more. I understand that we will be given a grace period of at least four months to work on our lenses-hubs-to-be, so with 86 lenses transferring in the next few days I think I will have enough time to reshape them. I feel a little anxious about the transfer and especially as to how lenses will look as hubs and how much work they might or might not need to pass HubPages' quality assessment. I do feel sad about the fate of Squidoo but I must say I am looking forward to a new beginning on HubPages. I have always tried to write high quality articles and I am proud to say that I was never penalized on Squidoo for low quality content. I have been writing for Squidoo for almost 3 years now and I must say I loved the platform and how easy it was to create great looking lenses. I have just set up a new account here as Aquamarine18 and I am anxiously waiting for Squidoo to transfer my lenses over. Thank you Phyllis for welcoming us all aboard HubPages. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and others here on HubPages. Thank you again for extending so warm a welcoming hand. Quite often, I manage to intertwine the two in my lenses, blogs and now my very first hub. My favorite topics usually involve food and finding ecofriendly ways to live well. Making up for way too many years of serious workaholic dedication to causes and jobs. I am deeply grateful to the management at Squidoo and HubPages for making this transition so easy.Īs for me, I'm a grandmother, sometime political activist, and have a lot of fun in the kitchen playing with food. But as they say, when one playground, er door, closes, another one opens. Such kindness helps ease the sadness I feel at losing my playground of so many years. Thank you, too, to the other Hubbers who have joined Phyllis in welcoming us. ![]() I have long been fascinated with your subject matter, so I know I'm going to enjoy following your Hubs. Thank you, Phyllis, for this warm welcome. Again, thank you all for the wonderfully warm welcome! I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones here. I'm also the soon-to-be-former Squidoo Bangles, Baubles and Beads Contributor and I hope to continue growing my jewelry making, crafting, chocolate and healthy recipes niches here on HP. I hope very much that most or all of the the 70 articles I published on Squidoo will find a new home here.īy way of introduction, I'm a writer, senior editor/technical editor of Metal Clay Artist magazine, jewelry designer, marketing strategist, avid cooking, baking and crafting enthusiast and chocoholic. Writing for Squidoo was a wonderful experience for me and I'm looking forward to joining a new, vibrant, talented and successful community here on HubPages, where my profile is margaretschindel. We're already trying hard to educate ourselves about the rules and guidelines here, and I'm very grateful for the support and help you've offered as we learn the ropes. Phyllis, it's a pleasure to meet you and all the other Hubbers who have welcomed us so graciously as we come from Squidoo to join you here on HubPages. I'm kind of happy I can make only hubs now, since I don't have to finish this year's Giant Squid requirement. We have some very good writers at Squidoo who aren't here yet, and I'm sure they will get used to HubPages and adjust quickly and learn to love it as much as I do. I will be happy to get rid of a lot of the stuff they encouraged us to put in. I never intended to write lenses for selling things, and Squidoo was trying to funnel all of us into affiliate marketers. Though editing my lenses to be more like hubs will be quite a job, at least I'm used to the platform and it may be easier for me than someone who has never written here. I'm just glad I've already built up a body of work here. ![]() I think HubPages treats writers more fairly. I'm glad my best lenses will find a new home here, since I really like the way HubPages is run better. Squidoo was my first writing site, and I loved it, but it was getting harder and harder to jump through every new hoop and it was beginning to be like navigating a minefield to keep writing there. I'll still be BarbRad for the lenses that I allow to transfer. I've been Wannabe Writer here on HubPages for almost as long as I've been BarbRad on Squidoo.
