Squidoo Giant Challenge ~ Hats Off To All Of You

The 2nd Quarter Squidoo Giant Challenge is all over but the shouting.  All that’s left is to see who made Giant and who is left to try for the next go around.

It was a long strange trip.

I think lensrank crashed a couple of times and on more than one occaision, I personally had a problem with publishing. The themes option being added caused quite a stir as the CSS wasn’t functioning right at first. As if the work wasn’t frantic enough during the final stages, there was a SquidCrash. Talk about a bunch of freaking out for about half an hour!

All the problems were quickly ironed out and we were off and running smooth. A salute to the HQ bunch for putting up with our grumbling and bitching during those times.

Either way, it should be noted that everyone who participated put up a major effort. Pushing the publish on nearly 1700 (at my last count) lenses, 128 lensmasters drove right up to the end. I know I published two in the final two days, and I heard that someone published at least two on the final day.

Awesome!

When it is all said and done, I gotta believe that all those involved (potential Giants and Greeters) helped make this the most upbeat and spirited Giant Challenge at Squidoo to date.

It should be illegal to have as much fun as I had  with all the friendly bantering between the teams. I created a cheerleading lens on day one of the challenge and a tribute lens on the last day of the challenge. That’s how much fun I had.

I hope you had half as much fun as I did.

Hat’s off to the Giant organizers and all of the Giant Greeters for running a splendid campaign.

And to the all the lensmasters who worked so hard, your are Giants in my book. Legends who will not soon be forgotten.

YOU GUYS ROCK!
