I still use squidoo and with the module titles and the amount of them having h2 the density doesn't have to be high within the actual content. Not just squidoo though. Tie that in with squidutils and the toolbar along with the amazon perks you get like monetizon the sidebar with posters. You're right when you say it helps folk get into the swing of working with computers. That's the only downside. They don't have plugins like wordpress. Everything you do to dress it up is that annoying html in the smallest space and writing they can give you. Worth it in the long run. Good to see you're focused.

All the best
