Why does Squidoo keep doing this to my lens?

by Charles Butler
10 replies
I publish my lens, only to revisit it later and being greeted with it back to being under construction. I re-publish and everything is fine for a little bit, only to be under construction later. Can anybody help me with this issue?

If it helps diagnose the problem, I have 2 text modules and theyre both filled with info. I checked the health and everything is in order except that the title needs work and a photo name needs work

    I've had similar things like this happen on my lens it's part of dealing with a free platform. At least that's what I chalk it up to be. I'll look at it and all my images will be there then they won't be there it's a weird deal I can't call it.

      I see. The only real concern is that I have some articles on Ezines that are in queue and I don't want em to go back to the end of the line because on the day the editors see it my lens is down

      My lens is actually an article split into an intro and 2 text modules with a link list module at the end, but I'll definitely give this a shot.

      I have an ebay widget, an amazon widget, a poll and 3 text modules and could probably have a partridge in a pear tree.

    You really need to have 3 or more modules, not including the Introduction or Guestbook.

    This really happens when you dont have enough content in your lens.

    So all you need to do is to add more content. Your squidoo lens should have at least 3 modules but you should better add some more.

    Hope this helps.

    When we are asked to look over lenses for peeps here, we use the term Squiddify

    You need to Squiddify your lenses, in basic terms, this means spice it up a little so squidoo sees that you are interested enough in being a lensmaster to put in some creative effort on the lens(es)..

    It's not an article dump ya know (well, it is, but shhhh... Seth will cry )

    Peace

    Ohh okay, well it looks like I'll throw in a couple more modules then. I'll post back here with the results after a day or two. Thanks for the help

    not enough content, and maybe one of the modules still has the default text in it?

      I've recently added a table of contents and wiki module to my lens, so right now I have 4 modules. I had a link list module that I cant do anything with just yet, so I got rid of it for the time being.

      Hopefully that should keep the lens out of WIP land
