1. Choose a topic for your lens. You can make a lens on just about topic you can imagine! Are you a successful entrepreneur? Make a lens about it! Would you like to tell the world about your favorite brand of laundry detergent? Make a lens about it! Do you collect Webkinz? Yes you can even make a lens about that! As you can see the topics are endless and you can build as many lenses as you like!

2. Name your lens. You will want to name your lens something that represents what your topic is.
