Squidoo HTML

Allowable HTML on Squidoo

On Squidoo, you are not able to use a lot of HMTL to layout your pages.

Your Squidoo Profile

Setting Your Squidoo Profile

The main thing to consider when signing up at Squidoo is the username you choose. It cannot be changed.

Username: Points to Consider

* If you are using a username somewhere else (e.g. an ebay ID) and one of your aims is to promote your ebay store, then you might want to use the same username at Squidoo. A form of name branding. That is if the username is available.

* The username you choose cannot have spaces. It can be upper/lower case and can have hyphens (-) and can be alphanumeric.
