I’ve made a lens about this, with the same title, but I’m putting it here to so it’s easy to find. Basically, an image with straight edges looks rubbish on your lens, just like the tiger on the left below. It looks like you’ve just plonked an image there because you had to. Well now you can make those images look a LOT better with only about 30 seconds and the help of one cool...

Do you have more than 3 lenses? Make a lensography! A lensography is a lens that has only 1 purpose: to show off your other lenses!

There is an easy way, and you don’t have to reveal your email address to anyone. Not even to the spammers, and not even to your best friend. Here is how to add the little ‘Contact Me’ link under your bio which...

You know you can add an image to your lens using a normal text module? Did you know you can embed an image into the module without that upload feature? On the left side of the module? Click here to see an example. To embed an image into the module just like the one you see in the example module linked to above (and also the picture of the Squid right here in this blog post) you will need to have...
