You have seen them before- those little badges lined up under Hubbers’ profiles boasting their superior involvement in the community, number of Hubs published, followers, etc…
Accolades are a great way to strut your stuff on HubPages, and the only way to collect them is to be an active member of the community and to continue to publish your amazing, original work!
Are you aware of all the different types of Accolades you can collect on HubPages.com? We recently posted them all on our FAQ page so that you can see the entire breakdown. How many do you already have?
One fun and new aspect of Accolades is that you will get a friendly email notifying you whenever you get a new Accolade or a new level of an existing Accolade (e.g. when you publish your 300th Hub or reach your 5th year milestone of being a HubPages member).
Each email is accompanied with a unique, fun fact, so you’ll get a pat on the back and learn something, too!

Hi Team
After reading the latest blog, I noticed that you had mad the point of promoting this positive aspect of the site:
Accolades are badges that appear on your Profile that share many different achievements you can reach on HubPages. Some show certain milestone achievements
I also note that there is one for Forum Posts. Having gone past (made) 4800 forum posts, should I not be allocated the appropriate accolade?
Appreciate that… Thanks PD
I really like that we have little measurements of success.
It’s fun and makes us feel uber.
I love the accolades, they are acctually one of my favorite aspects here at hubpages. Their like little trophey’s!
Accolades?! We need it all! It marks how we fare and our milestone in HubPages. Thanksfor bringing this up, Simone.
I have only one Accolade received and that’s when I submitted my tenth hub. I have read already about this thing in the Help section and I am trying to really work for them. Frankly, these Accolades are really a great motivation to drive newbies like me, or even the old-timers to write more for HubPages. They lift our spirits to its finest. Thanks a lot.
Accolades were a fantastic idea because it makes people try harder to distinguish themselves from the crowd!
