I've never had any trouble signing in. I'm sure Gil or one of the others will get back to you soon. Let me know if it doesn't work for you in a couple of days and I'll post a note at SquidU.com about it. All the best, JD Sire, I’m really sorry to hear that you’re having trouble getting started with Squidoo. I’ve never had any trouble signing in.

I’m sure Gil or one of the others will get back to you soon.

Let me know if it doesn’t work for you in a couple of days and I’ll post a note at SquidU.com about it.

All the best,

I like for people to underestimate me at first and then be completely amazed later when they learn that I'm a wizard. I forgot to mention that there are a couple of downsides when using Squidoo as compared to blogging and building websites. Last year, Squidoo was almost sunk by spammers and people who were using the site for purposes that were unexpected and unwanted, such as redirecting people to gambling and porn sites. As a result, they removed our capability to use javascript, iframes, and forms. That makes it more difficult to make lead capture pages or to put up newsletter sign-up forms. (For more information on that, see <a href="http://johndilbeck.squidtop.com/2008/08/08/squidoo-module-request-sign-up-forms-for-aweber-mailing-lists/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Squidoo module request - Sign-up forms for Aweber mailing lists</a>.) And, of course, the inability to use javascript stops us from doing lots of other things that we can do on blogs or our own websites. Still, I like marketing with Squidoo and I'll continue to build more lenses as I have the time and energy. If you have any questions about using Squidoo, there is an active forum at SquidU.com and I'll be happy to offer my thoughts. I'm looking forward to seeing your first lens. Please tell us about it when you publish it. Act on your dream! JD First of all, I don’t think you’re a dumb Aussie.

See it takes a male to step back and appreciate the wisdom that sprouts from the lips of another man. lol I will now join sqidoo because I see that it has many possibilities. Thanks for explaining it in such a manner that this dumb Aussie can understand it :D Yep, it’s just like I say to the wife, ‘honey, I am full of good advice, you just don’t want to listen!” See it takes a male to step back and appreciate the wisdom that sprouts from the lips of another man. lol I will now join sqidoo because I see that it has many possibilities.
