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! 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. 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…

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…

As the presidential election gets closer and closer I’ve been seeing more and more politically-powered t-shirts, bumper stickers, hats, yard signs and just about everything else you could think of showing up all over the place. But, come to find out that these different things are just the tip of the iceberg with there being…
Read MoreMeet Khevan, the San Francisco street sax player
Today was yet another wonderful day in the beautiful city of San Francisco and as I have done a few times already before, I’d like to continue to post different things, places and people who seem to catch my interest as I do my day-to-day thing here at HubPages Headquarters. One thing that I love…
Read MoreRobin Good helps us spread some HubPages love
As I mentioned yesterday, I had the pleasure of getting interviewed by the always entertaining social media master, Robin Good. Despite the online video delays, the choppy sound and the fact that I obviously can’t sit still I think that it turned out pretty well. I had a lot of fun chatting with Robin and…
Read MoreJust another morning ride into the office
I love working in San Francisco, but one of the first things that I had to get used to when I began commuting from Palo Alto on the train was riding my bike through traffic. It’s pretty amazing how comfortable I’ve become with weaving in and out of cars, buses, trolleys and homeless people while…
