I have decided to take a stab at using squidoo effectively, while promoting a clickbank product to hopefully make some sales. I was over at potpiegirl.com and her posts really inspired me to try harder. I contacted her and asked her for some tips, which she gladly helped out with.

I pulled together a squidoo lens, which that in itself can be overwhelming, and came up with a page promoting creating free electricity. I am no expert, so I’m not even sure if what I’m doing will work. Hopefully it works out well!

I’m sure you all know how to use the :conditions attribute when using ActiveRecord:

User.find(:all, :conditions=>['active = ?', true])

And you may even use associations this way:

User.find(:all, :include=>[:photos], :conditions=>['photos.removed = ? and users.active = ?', false, true])

But did you know that you can do this easier through hashes?

User.find(:all, :conditions=>{:active=>true})
User.find(:all, :include=>[:photos], :conditions=>{'photos.removed'=>false, 'users.active'=>true})

Nothing special there, but I thought it was pretty cool. One thing you have to remember when using associations, is to include that model.
