June Content #1: Ancient Greek Odyssey

Some Squidoo pages are simply SUPERB in every respect, and almost everyone agreed that Ancient Greek Odyssey fits that description.

Greekgeek has shared her Greek travels and studies with us in an extraordinary and approachable way, with amazing photos, a travel diary and places that are the stuff of breathtaking fantasy and beauty.

Greekgeek is a prolific Squidooer, with an incredible squidbook, loads of interesting and helpful lenses, and is a valued contributor in SquidU with all manner of technical problems lensmasters have.

Congratulations, Greekgeek, for your First Place win! It really is well deserved!

June Content #2: Horatio Nelson

I guess it can't be helped: there are so many eggheads and history buffs on Squidoo, that plenty of us appreciate a great topic when we see one!

GordonJohns has built his great Horatio Nelson lens to give beginners a very interesting, concise introduction to one of history's most famous men.

His writing style is tight, informative and interesting. He has included eye-catching photos and plenty of resources for a student who wants to do some research on this amazing Admiral.

Congratulations on being one of the People's Favorites!

June Content #3: Tuscan Gardens

rms is another favorite Squidoo lensmaster, who has done some really fabulous other lenses! In this case, her Tuscan Garden Lens was a real winner over some very, very tough competitors!

The lens has not only directions, photos and introductory information about Tuscany and Tuscan style, she has given us recipes to use our garden herbs, spices and vegetables in a Tuscan manner, and even brought out incredible Tuscan garden items so you can have an authentic garden.

Here is another lens worthy of lensrolling, bookmarking, favoriting and emailing to all your friends. You can be sure someone you know will love this one!

June Commerce #1: All About Pantone Swatches

Pixelrage, an awesome lensmaster, took the hearts of enough lensmasters and jurists, with the ever so useful All About Pantone Swatches, that this lens could only be #1!

Pantone, of course, is the leader in color matching and is used by professionals in every conceivable field that relies on reliable color for their business. Pixelrage has made Pantone accessible and understandable for everyone, useful and a great reference.

We like that very, very much! Congrats Mark (Pixelrage), on another great lens!

June Commerce #2: Everything Tea at Collector's Cottage

Everything Tea at Collector's Cottage was another favorite commerce lens!

The lensmaster Collector's Cottage, has given us a collector's resource lens, with antique information, types of tea sets like limoges, and places for us to go to get exactly the collectibles we want.

It is a useful and resourceful page for tea lovers, which it seems that Squidoo has lots of!

Congratulations on a successful commerce lens!

June Commerce #3: Starwars Fan Site

Bdkz is a fabulous lensmaster, who managed to touch the heart of our jurors with her Star Wars Fan Site lens.

She gives us everything a Star Wars fan could want- great videos, party stuff, and the LINKS!

Another faboo destination spot on Squidoo for shoppers, fans and officionados...

We're not the only ones who think so- she got LOTD from headquarters too!

Congratulations on a fabulous lens!

Oops! Red-Faced!

I posted the July Contest Winners BEFORE the June!

This is what happens when I get behind....

Welcome to Our Newest Juror: rksmythe!

When we seek out jurists for the By Invitation Only jury, we know how important it is that the candidates be experienced, respected, talented and knowledgeable!

All of these things and more apply to our newest juror, rksmythe! He is a SquidAngel, a regular and helpful contributor to SquidU, and is relied on for great advice and support by our growing community of ebayers!

He has a fabulous Squidbook, terrific blogs, a great list of fabulous lenses and a great ebay directory group.

We are extremely pleased that Randy has joined the By Invitation Only jury- we are sure that he will be an incredible addition to our group and our project!

Thanks to our Retired Jurist: Dinodino!

Dinodino was instrumental and incredibly valuable in getting our contest off the ground. There simply isn't a better commerce lensmaster, more helpful Squidooer, or a more level head at Squidoo!

Dinodino has his own group, Concepts, Lot 10 Headquarters, from which ANY commerce lensmaster can learn a lot about interesting and graceful commerce lenses, and from his work you can easily see what a great resource he has been to the By Invitation Only lensmaster contest.

We want to officially thank Dinodino for his contribution to this contest, but also to especially thank him for all the terrific help he is around Squidoo and SquidU. All of us Squidooers have benefitted immensely from his insight and experience.

So, to say goodbye, I'd like to give you, Dinodino, this Irish Blessing:

"May those that love you, love you.
But if there is anyone who doesn't love you,
May God turn their hearts.
If that doesn't work,
May God turn their ankle,
So you know who they are when you see them limping!"
