After looking at some of the reports that we have running here at HubPages, I noticed that we are getting really, really close to officially publishing our 200,000th Hub. This is an amazing achievement, considering that these are strictly the Hubs that have been published and actually stick around after making it through our super-duper…

Read MoreConnecting with the College Kids
Each day there are tons of different topics that come through HubPages from our awesome community of Hubbers. But, when I saw a Hubber named rethansmith(aka Ethan) for some reason he seemed to stick out a little bit more than most. You see, at the ripe-old age of 19, Ethan is one of our younger…

As The Communicator of Awesomeness! I am always looking for ways to communicate the awesomeness of HubPages to any and everybody who I think could potentially play some part in the success and growth of what we’re doing.

Just last night, HubPages released a bunch of new features. I am sure that everyone had already noticed the revised Profile page and the new Photo capsule. This is the great work of Fawntia Fowler and I will leave it to her to post the details on these new features. In addition, we have made…
