In fact some of the most helpful lenses don’t even contain much original writing at all and yet they are extremely helpful and full of good information.

An excellent example of this type of resource lens belongs to Giant Lensmaster JustBonCrochetDesigns.

101 Fabulous Free Downloads & Services supplies it’s readers with properly labeled link lists to 101 useful downloads, sites and services.  That’s it!   Without much writing at all, JustBonCrochetDesigns has provided her readers with everything they need to find exactly what they are looking for.

In addition to link lists, successful resource lenses can be made using mostly Youtube, Ebay, Flickr, or any of the other search type modules.
