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…
Read MoreA Quick Mention in the NYT Bits Blog
A couple of days ago we were given a quick mention in the New York Times Bits blog that focuses on tech and Internet news. We were brought up due to the fact that we’re one of Glam Media’s larger publisher’s, who the post was focusing on. We’ve been running ads from the Glam network…
Read MoreHubPages Gets Some Mommy Blogger Love
This might sound kind of sad, but the first thing that I do each morning when I wake up bright and early at 6:15am is check my email on my BlackBerry. Yeah, it’s slightly overboard, but my BlackBerry is right there next to me and since it doubles as my alarm and I have to…
Read MoreThe Long Tail of HubPages
Ok, so this is something that has been on my mind for a while, so bare with me if I start to go off on some type of blogging tangent. I just felt like I had to get these thoughts written out somewhere, even if they didn’t make the most sense at this point. There…
Read MoreThe Photo Capsule and Profile Page Redesigns
My big project for September/October was to redesign the Hubpages photo capsule. Here is a screenshot of the old photo capsule editor: The biggest problem with the old editor was that the tabs were confusing. There was one tab to upload photos from your computer or the web. After a photo was uploaded, it appeared…

As The Communicator of Awesomeness!

There are many different ways to tell someone about what HubPages actually is and what we do.…
Read MoreThe New Link Capsule
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…
Read MoreMahalo creates a FarkCNNipedia with it’s latest redesign
When I woke up this morning and checked my email I saw that Larry had forwarded me a link to a new TechCrunch post about Mahalo’s new redesign and their new, stronger focus on liveblogging and keeping up with current news. Although Mahalo isn’t exactly in the same exact market as HubPages, they’re definitely in…
Read MoreJames gives the office unicycle a try
Don’t ask me why, but we have a unicycle in our office. I’m not sure if Paul Deeds has high hopes of being part of a circus act or if Larry is looking for some supplemental income by becoming a unicycle-riding street performer, but it’s here and it’s always waiting for the next brave soul…
Read MoreHubs versus Blogs
I still consider myself a newcomer to hubbing. Since I started at HubPages on June 30, it has really been a great opportunity to reexamine my experience with blogging. I now believe that some content is best published through a hub while other content may fit better in a blog. I have been blogging actively…
