    "One Lens To Rule Them All"

    I have recently learned about a new cool website "where bloggers can plumb those obscure passions," according to nytimes.com. And it's called Squidoo.

    Squidoo.comSquidoo.com is a quirky search engine that allows users to either sell or buy other people's esoteric skills and knowledge, among other things. The site uses the simple idea of a "lens" or "a single web page filled with information and links that point to other web pages.

    Anyway, I ran a simple search with the word "chess" and came up with dozens of results - among them "chess blogs" all in its own category.

    So, give Squidoo a try and check out the multitudes of chess blogs and links below. Who knows, your off-beat skill - or skills - may interest someone in Arizona or Portugal!
