*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

This week the we are teaming up with the RocketMoms and the Squidoo Music Blog http://my-tunes.crabbysbeach.com/blogs/ on Crabby's Beach! How fun is that?
We're going to be creating a music lens!
Think...The Blues, Classical Music, Traditional & Folk Music, Classic Rock, Dance Party Music, Country, Music and Joyful Music!
Then add your lens to: The Squidoo Music Awards plexo http://www.squidoo.com/Squidoo-music-awards Remember you can make more then one lens!
AND Add your lenses to one of the plexos on this lens http://www.squidoo.com/rocketmoms-session-5-music-lens That's 2 wonderful places to show off your music lenses!
So are you wondering what to write about?
That's easy. We all love music of some sort or another. I grew up in the 1980's and love Duran Duran, Berlin, the B-52's, David Bowie, Meat Loaf...the list goes on. Here's a lens I did for an earlier session of RocketMoms: Bonnie's Top 10 Favorite Songs Of All Time: http://www.squidoo.com/bonnie-top-10-fa … f-all-time
Remember that a music lens can be creative, fun and a wonderful resource. Here are some ideas:
1) Use YouTube Videos and the Amazon MP3 Module to showcase your favorite bands.
2) Create a quiz about a band or the genre of music you love.
3) Do a "Decade" lens about 1950's music.
4) Create a Top 10 list of the best bands from Ohio or the coolest hair bands or the best concerts of 1987.
5) Review a bands latest concert.
6) Review a CD, DVD or music book.
7) Create a "story" lens about your first concert.
8) Write a thank you note to a band that's changed your life.
There are so many great ideas for a music lens so have fun and don't forget to add your lenses to BOTH of these lenses:
Squidoo Music Awards: http://www.squidoo.com/Squidoo-music-awards
RocketMoms Session 5: Music Lens: http://www.squidoo.com/rocketmoms-session-5-music-lens
Also post any questions you might have right here on this thread!

ok, I'm jumping on the weekly challenge train. Made my very first music lens and posted it on the roketmoms plexo! (It didn't quite fit any of the categories on the music awards lens.)

I added my Reggae music lens to both of these. While it may not fit, to ME, it IS fun music to I put it there!
