I am about halfway through an update to all my lenses, adding MediaStorehouse images and links, correcting several broken links, and revising the content.
My other update was a new set of products created on Zazzle for my Stephen and Matilda blog, as well as some more generic ones made for general sales. Matilda is doing surprisingly well - she even made featured kitty status on Redgage for a photo:
Here's another photo of her, again being decidedly cute.

A quick update
It's mainly lens updates at the moment, although with 200 lenses this is going to take a while. A few things lensmasters might want to watch out for:
The new templates, which were amended again this week for the advertising banners, have affected layout more seriously than I realised. For anyone who uses floats or complex layouts you might want to check yours.
More productively, after stumbling over a new trick with Zazzle that lets you embed zazzle products without using the Zazzle module (as long as you are an affiliate), I'm running back through my lenses updating them. The Halifax Bomber page has gained a cut-away design of the aircraft, and I'm looking for a few more for some of the other planes.
The lens that took the most work so far was The Untouchables. Not just a few poster problems but wikipedia refusing to pull in, the layout broken and worse. I've now fixed all of this, but it took a good few hours.

A Zazzle experiment
Since Squidoo has launched a co-brand for Zazzle, I am trying to set up a lens in there for my products. It's a bit tricky, since the auto pickup is working oddly and I'm probably going to end up with multiple modules which I populate manually. I haven't created anything in the Zazzle store recently, so I also need to work out what resolution to set my images at for new products.
Oh well, it's all good experimentation.
Also they are looking for citizen squids to mentor charities. I'm not sure if I'd be a good mentor, but particularly for US charities since the timezone could be a problem. Might apply anyway - it would make more sense to give something back by doing that and it only takes an hour a week.
