The HP Blog and Newsletter are about to get closer!

Newsletter Format Change

The HubPages Newsletter and Blog are getting married!

Happy Wednesday, friends! I've got a few items of news for you this week. Firstly, we've decided to change up the format of the Newsletter a bit in order to gain a wider readership. For the next couple of weeks, we're going to test a combination Newsletter/Blog post where I'll give a summary of what's new at HubPages in the Newsletter and then provide a link to the relevant Blog posts where you can find more details. We know the Newsletter can be a lot to read and we want to make it easier for you to sift through the updates and find the ones you care about. We hope you like the new style! :)
