New module showcase!

Coming very soon to a lens near you: The new module showcase.

The old module picker has been overhauled, tested by dozens of Giant Squids, and is now packed with some cool tools for newbies and pros alike. Our goal was to make it easier for you to find and add modules to your lenses. After all, modules are the building blocks for great content!

Read more about the new Showcase and see an early peek some some screenshots.

As soon as it’s live, you can find the Showcase by editing lenses as you normally would. Click the “Add Modules” button at the top of your Workshop and you’ll see the new Showcase slide down.

Try adding a bunch of modules, click on a bunch of tabs in the module picker. If anything seems buggy or broken, send it in to us here and title your report “Module Showcase.” If you have general feedback, we love that too.

And if you would rather switch back to the old Module Picker, there will be a link for you to do that, for a little while at least.

Quick! What's Squidoo?

Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest – and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or yourself!
