Tip of the Day: When you're in workshop mode, creating or editing a lens, make sure to "apply" or "save" once you've made changes. This particularly applies to editing the workshop tools on the right sidebar, everything from the lens theme to your bio, to "How to you want to get paid?" and Dashboard Labels and tags.
If you edit a module in the body of the lens, you have to save or cancel to continue editing. There's no warning if you make a change in one of the categories on the right. It's very easy to make those changes and forget to save them. Always save and then publish the lens so your changes will take effect.
I don't have to tell you how I know. :) Hope your short-term memory is better than mine!

Squidoo Tags - Have You Noticed?
Tags on Squidoo lenses are much more noticeable now. Have you noticed?
You'll find the "Related Tags" section on the right-hand side of each lens. Each one is linked to a tags page, consisting of a list of all lenses that use that same tag.
This week, Squidoo changed the display of the tags, making them much more noticeable. The format practically screams, "Click me!" And people will click. I know I've been clicking on tag links, on my own lenses as well as others', ever since the change just to see what I can see.
So, what will visitors to your lenses see when they click on your tags? I already told you that they'll go to a tags page with a list of lenses. So, why is this important to you? It's important because when a visitor to a lens on a topic similar to yours clicks out on that lens's related tag, you want to be sure that your lenses on the same topic show up on that tag's page. Why? So those visitors will click on and visit your lenses.
Make sense?
Update your lenses with the right tags and see if you notice an increase in the number of visits to your lenses. I'll be updating my tags and watching my stats, how about you?
