Winner: Number One Squidoo Tip For Newbies

Thank you, RickyRobi, Drifter0658, and kab for responding to the Question Of The Week!

This week, our winner is... kab. ...Congratulations!

kab's response to the QOTW (What is the #1 tip you'd give to a new Squid?):

The tip any new squid needs is "Jump right in".

Jump right into the forum. Don't just sit back and read - ask, answer, give your opinion, and make yourself seen.

Jump right into the lensmaking. Start a few lenses. Don't try to learn everything first, because the lessons you will remember are the ones you have "figured out" along the way.
