The Squidoo Transition Forum Is Up

A Helpful Forum for Lensmasters

Greetings Hubbers and Lensmasters! The Squidoo Lens transition has begun, and many Lensmasters can expect to see their Lenses transferred and converted into Hubs within the next couple weeks. We've done a ton of work to make the transition as painless as possible, and we're doing our very best to fix new bugs and issues as they arise, but if you have any questions, problems, or concerns, please don't hesitate to post in the Squidoo Forum. Before posting, you should also check out the Official Squidoo Transition Forum Rules. (Failure to follow the Forum rules will result in your post being moderated, so read them carefully!)

To all the new Lensmasters: welcome aboard! We can't wait to see where this new leg of your writing journey takes you. :)

P.S. Here's a big thank you to everyone who voted in the 4th Annual Hubbie Awards. We got a TON of responses and we're sorting through them as quickly as we can. The winners will be announced sometime next week, so keep an eye out!
