So after writing about how important it is to update your lenses, I'm now going to say this: It's important, but it's not enough.

Making a lens is lots of fun. One of the reasons I love Squidoo so much is that it gives me a way to dabble in all my interests and passions whenever I feel like it. Unlike a blog, I don't have to stay "on topic" every day. However, it's ...
