Favourite CSS Tricks on Squidoo

Widely respected lensmaster and paragon of community giveback, The Fluffanutta has way too many great lenses to pick just one for Lens of the Day.

But today I want to call your attention to his lens My Favourite CSS Tricks on Squidoo.

It's a grab bag of fun (and tasteful) visual goodies for advanced lensmasters to try out on their lenses. More important, though, is his advice on how to add some style and personality to your lens without sliming it with cheap chintz, zazzle and flash that is better left to the Las Vegas strip.

I couldn't say it any better. "Start Simple, Keep it Subtle, Be Sympathetic."

He goes on: "Many lensmasters, when they discover that they can change the fonts, colors and backgrounds of their lenses, tend to get carried away. As a result, some lenses become a riot of colour, with several different styles competing on the same lens. This is often off-putting to the visitors, and will probably have a detrimental effect on sales. It is far better to work with the common format and style of Squidoo, and only use CSS to tweak it to your advantage."

Thanks, Fluff!
