You are just too cool, Chef!

Here is my recommendation:

My new lens for Action Against Hunger, http://www.squidoo.com/action-against-hunger

Willow's lens that is also benefiting Action Against Hunger: A Taste of Croatia, http://www.squidoo.com/tasteofcroatia

Hi Chef, Thanks for the invite AND so glad to see Heifer International featured. For a while it seemed they'd become the neglected stepchild on the Squidoo list of charities.

I'd like to recommend Lindajm's excellent lens on fighting false allegations from Child Protective Service at http://www.squidoo.com/fightcps.

One of my lenses donating to Heifer International and which is also appropriate for those trying to make 50 or 100 lenses by December 31 (not to mention any names, cough, cough, chef) is 10 Lenses in 10 Hours.

And a big Mahalo, Gracias, Thank you to You!

Ener-G I've got your 10 lenses in 10 hours done. (I don't think I could ever be that fast :0)

Chef two lenses for A Day of Hope

My New Lens for A Day of Hope, Hope Quotes, http://www.squidoo.com/have-hope

Angelina's (Starving Artist's) beautiful lens on Giving Thanks and Giving Back, http://www.squidoo.com/giving_back

Okay, I am stumped. Where can I locate Heifer International? They had it in the list on the lens, then it got moved to the back 40, then it seemed to disappear. When you mentioned it here, Chef, I thought...hurray! They've brought it back. But I can't find it to add to some of my lenses. : (

I am a very unhappy giver. All those great charities and I only want Heifer International. Somebody call the Waaa-mbulence.

Your lens can donate to it, but it is not in the drop down menu within the Donations module so that your lens visitors can donate to it.

I'd like to nominate Knit One Save One and my own lens is Dieting: Lose Weight and Keep It Off which supports Action Against Hunger. I think that's appropriate on a dieting lens when in developed countries, the big problem is obesity while in other countries people are dying of starvation.

Great idea, Chef,
Here's my 10% contribution for Action Against Hunger:  http://www.squidoo.com/holiday-feast-Louisiana and Willow's lens:  http://www.squidoo.com/willow

Thanks, Naturegirl7 - but for this campaign we ask for at least 2 lenses: one of yours, set to 10% charity, and one of your favorites of another lensmaster (any lens you'd like to bring to everybody's attention for a little peer's lens love) 

She put mine as recommended lens... and I'll add it to charity!

I just now converted my "Wife - my Superhero" lens to Heifer. It's right there in the charity pull-down menu. Is it this what you were looking for, or did I misunderstand you? 

Maybe this is a glitch? In my pull down menu on my lens, it goes: Hadassah, Hearts of Fire, Hope for Haiti and Humane Society. No Heifer.

I just went to check out your lens...my wife..my superhero, to see what template you were using (and got completely entranced by this lens, btw) and it appears to be the "normal" template.

I'm remembering that I did report this to Gil once and was told that they were removing some of the charities because they weren't Squidoo compliant (or something to that effect) so I just assumed that Heifer got axed.

I just noticed...  thanks ladies!

Sorry Chef, I thought Willow's lens was already charity because it was on one of the other charity lens plexos, sorry.  If a lens donates only a percentage to charity, does it say it somewhere?  I guess I should add a donation module so people will know.  I'm doing about a million things at one time and it's hard to concentrate.

It doesn't matter whether you donate 10 or 100% - it says on the top right of the lens "Donates to (such 'n such)".

All I'm asking is that YOUR lens is set to a minimum of 10%. The other person's lens does not have to be set to charity. We do this for a little lens love.

Oh, and so it does.  Sorry for all the goofs.  I hate the daylight savings time change.  It always makes me dull for at least a week.  I definitely missed that notation.  I thought that it only said it if it was 100% and some of the co-brand lenses don't say it at all, do they?  I must have done a percentage on a co-brand and just assumed it only showed 100%.  Thanks for the clarification.  I also misunderstood and thought that both my lens and the other person's lens had to be for charity.   I need some sleep.

I do like Willow's lensography and there's also a new lensmaster that builds some fantastic nature lenses with beautiful photos.  Here's my favorite of hers:  http://www.squidoo.com/Florida-Nature

May I add another one of mine for charity?  That will make 2 for me.  It's Stuffed Mirlitons:  http://www.squidoo.com/mirliton_recipes
