Susan52 wrote a great post the other day about what it means to be a ‘Squidoo Nobody’. No bio, and you don’t let other people contact you. And she’s very right! Both easy to fix, in less than 3 minutes. You can read more good posts at her blog, and here is what she says about becoming a Squidoo sombody: 1.
