Use Squidoo to Optimize Web 2.0 Website Tutorials - 4


Hi all, this is the last tutorial of these series of tutorials. You will still remember those question marks which were show on this page:

 

the question mark which were show on the blog page
 

Step 1


Please Notice, on the first line, you will see the string "PHP", why did they change into the question marks? If you browse my blog, you will find out these links are the topics of my latest blog articles. Because the database character setting of the Squidoo.com is Latin, but not UTF-8. Some kinds of language character, such as Chinese, Japanese and Arabic can't be shown exactly, but be changed by question mark. So if I change my blog articles' title into English, they will be displayed normally just like this image:

Step 2


After finishing the setting of blog RSS, we will set up a new text module, which will be shown in the high-visibility location. You can edit anything related to your website or products which will be publized. For example, now I will edit this module by a successful iPhone project Demo.

As before, you should click the edit button on the top right corner of the "New text module", and you will see this edit page:
 
text modula
 
At first you still need to enter the title and subtitle of this text module, then the description of this module is necessary. Maybe you should add a beautiful picture which is related to your website or products to this module in order to make it more attractive. Then click save button and you will see the rendering image like this:

Step 3


The job is very interesting in this step. Because you are allowed to add some kinds of related commodity of
Amazon.com  into your lens. If guests are interested in your lens, they will browse these related commodities.
 
amazon edit page

As before, we should enter the title, subtitle, description, then you can select to pick the proper commodities by yourself or by
Amazon.com. If you choose the latter, the system will pick the proper commodities by your tags and keywords, sometimes you will find that some irrelated commodities are added into your lens. So I decided to pick the commodity by myself. The step is very easy and convenient. Click this amazon link : http://www.amazon.com or click here.

Then enter the commodity keywords which you want to search, then you will obtain a lot of related commodities links. Choose your favorite and add their links into the "Enter links or Amazon ASINs" textarea, please remember to add a link in one line, or they will be seemed as a long link. Then click the blue ADD ITEMS button, and you  will see this page:

Step 4


Now you may feel boring and tiring, in fact ,we should only little job to finish. Set up your flickr photos and show them randomly in your lens. Click the edit button and open the edit page:
 
the flickr photo edit page
 
Now I choose to make the system pick photos, because I have no time to find 10 related images. So I click the "Let Flickr Pick" radio option and enter my search tems, keep the default setting, then save this page, you will see the rendering image:

 At this time you will see the congratulation page if you have saved all settings:
