What is my all-time favourite module on Squidoo?

You can see it in action on almost all of my lenses (here for example: www.squidoo.com/squidtail). Featuring my other lenses, cross-promoting, and linking to other cool lenses on the same topic.
But [...]

If you have nearly 20 rubbish lenses, be worried.
Well, I say ‘rubbish’. What I really mean is an ‘unimproved’ lens.
