		<description><![CDATA[I've been exploring Hubpages vs. Squidoo ever since Panda smacked Hubpages and left Squidoo alone.

		<description><![CDATA[Ever wondered what image sizes work best on Squidoo? In the following cases, there's a maximum width (but not height); Squidoo shrinks the graphic to fit but keeps the height proportional if you give it something larger. Best to let Photoshop or an image resizer to do it; Squidoo's built in shrinker isn't as smart. [...]]]></description>
