Your readers luuuuuuv photos! What easier way to show them photos than with a little cross promo between Squidoo and Flickr?

Squidoo makes it easy to showcase your Flickr photos on your lens. There’s the Flickr module, the Polaroid module, the bonus image in the Text/Write module, the Flickr Plexo…

What kind of stuff can you use images for? Here are a few ideas from our fav lenses:

• What will my hotel look for? What is the scenery like? Don’t take the park’s word for it. Christene has a first-hand account of Walt Disney World’s Value Resorts on her lens for fun family vacations on a budget. http://www.squidoo.com/WDW-on-a-Budget
• How does your garden grow? I can never make mine look like the Burpee photos, but flower expert Deb proves that you can have flowers as beautiful as hers. http://www.squidoo.com/flowergardens
• Oooh, the cupcakes in kids’ party magazines always look so perfect. What are some other great food, treat, and decorating ideas? Janet shares her party experience with photos on her Arts & Crafts Crayon Theme birthday party lens, with photos hosted courtesy of Flickr. http://www.squidoo.com/themedbirthdayparties
• What could be more delicious than a coconut macaroon? How about mouth-watering step-by-step photos? With Chef Keem’s photogenic directions, everyone can end up with a perfect sweet treat. http://www.squidoo.com/best-coconut-macaroons
• What better way to show off your laundry folding skills than with an elephant made out of a washcloth? Lensmaster Leslie created a towel animal showcase with the Flickr module on her Towel Animals and Towel Origami lens: http://www.squidoo.com/EasyTowelAnimals
• As Jeff Foxworthy said, “I’ve never seen a toilet on the beach but I have seen a beach on the toilet.” If you’re an avid seashell collector, check out GypsyPirate’s fun lens on what to do with all those seashells! http://www.squidoo.com/decorating-with-seashells
• Some things just can’t be explained in words. Such as the office prank. Don’t show your coworkers: http://www.squidoo.com/OfficePranks
