      Hi there,
      
      First off, I can see this is an old Squidoo article. This is not a 'lens', at HubPages they are always 'articles'. Maybe it was one that was transferred across but you haven't adapted it for HubPages?
      
      You link to an outside site in the first paragraph. If it's promotional, you can't include it.
      
      The first paragraph is in bold text. You'll need to remove that.
      
      The table of contents is broken. You are linking to old Squidoo 'modules'. HubPages uses capsules and you can't create a live ToC.
      
      All the images need to have the correct citations, sources, and links to the originals.
      
      You might benefit from reading the material in the Learning Center. Click Help, top right to navigate there.
      
      Hope that helps.
      
      Edit: Meant to say, you finished off by asking for comments. They are not available on most of the HubPages sites right now, so better re-word the conclusion.

      As mentioned,  self promotion, or a link to either your own, or an affiliate marketing site. I have other websites and I'd LOVE to promote them through hubpages. Unfortunately that is against the terms, so I've never even attempted that. This is the wrong site for affiliate marketers (not saying that's what you were doing) but I clicked the link in subtitle and it looks really similar to like a "clickbank.com" product. Clearly an affiliate site.
      EDIT: I stand corrected.  Your link is NOT an affiliate link, it's just simply a link to another site, which I think unless it's linking to Amazon, it's against the TOS? I could be wrong

   I didn’t consider all of the article, but even so some things struck me. We don’t create lenses here. The word lens should be converted to article. The first paragraph looks bad in bold print. The link to a particular music studio will have to go because it’s promotional.
   
   Photos need to show the photographer and that they have the correct license.You need to be careful about having too much red text on the screen.

   It looks like self-promotion, which is a no-no.
