Got Broken Links in Custom Bios?

Oops!  I just discovered another of my custom lens bios with a coded link in it.  Guess what: Code in the custom bio doesn't work anymore.

If you've been around Squidoo for a long time, you may have lens bios with links, too. Now's a great time to go through your lenses, look for those, and take them out.  It's a quick and easy lens update that really makes a big difference in the look of your lens. (Incomplete bios look far from professional.)

For now the simple link in my profile/default bio works, but with the upcoming changes to the bio page and inclusion of the social connection buttons, I'm thinking that might not be the case for long (and I won't need my own link to G+ anyway) so I'm headed there next to take mine out. Keep an eye out for those changes, too, and remember to update accordingly.
