My Squidoo Lensrank Has Dropped: and That's a Good Thing!

Doot de dooo. Time to check the dashboard and see how the lenses are doing. Hm hm hm, good good, hey, that's one's back in the second tier, and...

WHAT? 300 visits + recent sales = THIRD TIER? Oh, Squidoo, I am WOUNDED TO THE QUICK!

You're picking on me! No, wait, you've changed the lens algorithm to cheat me out of my rightful lensrank! It's a conspiracy! It's a bug! It's inconceivable!

And it's been happening with that particular lens a lot lately.

In fact, this is a VERY good thing.

Squidoo Graphics and Image File Types

I was  discouraged when I found a Squidoo lensmaster taking designs from my Squidoo Graphics lens and selling them on Zazzle, ignoring the Creative Commons license I posted on that lens. I didn't feel like making new graphics, after that. However, I've recently been inspired again.

Recently, a newbie asked if there were Squidoo banners one could download. I started to send him to the official Squidoo banners downloads lens, but I saw that none of those graphics are really banners. So I made some and posted a new Squidoo Banners For You lens.

So what? Is this just a transparent link-drop? No, actually, I want to teach you a little about graphics, so you understand what I'm doing, and more importantly, so you understand what you are doing when you resize, save, or use a graphic.
