So, I set out with a plan of action last night and I managed to get something done.  I published my first lens on Squidoo.  I have to say that Potpiegirl's tutorials are excellent.  I went through them twice.  The first time I took notes; the second I followed along with my notes and payed closer attention to the videos to make sure that I had my information correct.  I also used them step by step as I was doing my page.  It is just a start and I know there is a lot more to learn, but having gone through it one time gives me such a good feeling.
