Squidoo Grace Period Almost Up

(And a Quick Update about Ads)

Happy Wednesday! This is a friendly reminder to ex-Lensmasters that the Squidoo Grace Period (a period of several months after the Squidoo transfer during which transferred Lenses weren't moderated for HubPages policy violations) is coming to an end. Tomorrow at 12 noon PT, the grace period will officially be over, meaning that transferred Lenses with policy violations will gradually be moderated. This reminder only applies to Lenses with policy violations that have not been updated since the Squidoo transfer. For more information, check out the official Forum post.

Hubbers should also be aware that we will be testing several ad layout changes this week. Check out Marina's Forum post for an idea of what to expect, and let her know if you have any questions. Happy Hubbing! :)
