Although we wound down our Hubbing space series earlier this week, we couldn’t help but post this latest photo sent in by Nettlemere. It reveals so much of what we love about Hubbers and their approaches to the Hubbing process! Explains Nettlemere: It is the product of an untidy mind, poor housekeeping skills, and an…
Read MoreUsing Illustrations to Augment Your Hubs
We put a huge emphasis on using original (or at least super high quality and legally used and properly attributed) photos in your Hubs, and with good reason. We live in an age where some of the most successful online content is very visual. Attractive images encourage people to pin their sources on Pinterest or…
Read MoreThe World is Your Hubbing Space
I used to think that most people wrote Hubs in formal home offices, sitting in normal chairs in front of normal tables and surrounded by normal notes and books. I was wrong. If the Hubbing space series has taught me anything, it is that Hubbing takes place in all kinds of interesting places- from boats…

Read MoreThe Connection Between Hubs and The Spaces in Which They’re Created
As people have shared their Hubbing spaces with us, we have been surprised by the extent to which they mirror the Hubs they create. Take, for example, this lovely nook belonging to ESPeck1919, which she introduces thusly: I’ve always loved getting a peek into other people’s creativity spots and sharing my own. A little bit about…

Read MoreExtra! Extra! Read All About HubPages Exclusives!
While it is fairly easy to create high-potential titles with a bit of research, we know that many Hubbers (HubPages staff included) would prefer to focus mostly on Hubs themselves- not their titles. We’ve also heard again and again that if there’s one thing Hubbers would like more of, it’s writing prompts and title ideas.…
Read MoreNew Amazon-Branded Buy Button on Hubs
Two months ago, lobobrandon suggested that we make Amazon Capsules more attractive, observing that Amazon products presented on other sites for which he writes are more comely and also more lucrative. We absolutely agree that better visuals can lead to better clickthroughs, and especially think that present that using more prominent Amazon branding and including…
Read MoreA Very Evocative Hubbing Space
It has been fascinating to have a peek into the Hubbing spaces of so many HubPages community members of the past couple of days.
