Celebrations are in order! I just finished my 20th lens which is very fittingly (for me) a tribute to Ritter Sport Chocolate.
I am a huge chocolate fan, so big in fact that I only half joke when I say I only work out so I can eat more chocolate without feeling bad about it.
It was really fun to put together the 10 ten over the best Ritter Sport Chocolate bars and as an additional positive I am now at the 20 lenses mark, which makes me quite proud. The next step will be 25 and then there is a long way to the 50 lenses milestone. I will get there though! :) Maybe you want to join me making lenses?

defeat at the 20 lens self-challenge - distracted by Magic the Gathering
Tonight is the last evening of my vacation and I must admit to defeat. I only made it to 19 lenses.
I am not too upset though as my failure is due to spending more time than expected writing and putting together my 19th lens, this time on the topic of Magic the Gathering abilities.
I played a lot of Magic when I was younger and it is a topic I am quite passionate about. For some reason I hadn't actually thought about putting a lens together on the subject of Magic the Gathering before, but it came to me in the morning and I just had to do it. That is how it goes. Once I had gotten started I knew that I wouldn't feel right unless I actually put some proper effort into it and I ended up spending almost 6 hours putting it together.
In hindsight it might not have been a very smart move from a time/money perspective as I am not entirely sure whether it will actually earn any sales. (I have this sneaking feeling that the target audience will either not have the means to buy from Amazon or they will already have dedicated shopping sites. Anyways, we shall see, maybe I am lucky and hit the right segment of players. :)
Writing this up made me think that maybe I should add a starter set to the lens... brb need to fix the lens!
...And back. Okay, but yeah I am quite happy with my My Magic the Gathering lens and hopefully it be worth the time investment.
In other news, I am always trying to find more ways to get backlinks and so today I joined Loveblinks it is targeted towards providing backlinks for Squidoo lenses and furthermore it gives you adsense money for any clicks made on your "blinks". The site seems to work quite the same as Top Reviewer. You add a couple of links that have something in common, you add a description and a title and you are done.
Here is one I did on Christmas lenses.
Anyways, tomorrow is work, but maybe I can squeeze in enough time in the evening to create my nr. 20 lens.

Top 3 christmas ornaments and decorations
I just put together this list of my favourite Christmas decoration lenses Best Review - Top 3 Christmas decorations and ornaments. It will be interesting to see if it drives any traffic at all.
I am also considering starting a Twitter account to help promote my lenses and this blog. I might do that once I have the target of 20 lenses under my belt. :)
