The one thing I like really, really well since I've been here is the feed page. My settings are to receive most everything. When I'm away for the day, I know I can play catch up rather easily when I return. I'm also able to see what folks I've followed are doing so I can visit their pages. The clickable links make it possible to take a brief jaunt away from the stream so I can check stuff out and not lose my way back.
So, what's your favorite feature or function here on HubPages?
Being able to follow my favorite writers from Squidoo.
So far I am enjoying everything about hub pages.
I have found several things that I like (including the ability to follow authors and my daily notifications of what everyone has been up to). But, I think what I like best is the editor. When I moved over here I was a bit intimidated by the new rules. However, the editor and the templates are set up in a way to help you. The capsules are easy to work with, easy to move around, etc.
Oh, and one other thing. I love that they've made some hub maintenance easy for me. If you see the broken link symbol next to a hub, it's identified a broken link in your article. That's incredibly helpful since it does take time to maintain each page you create.
Being able to unpublish a Hub, completely reinvent it and republish it.
Totally concur, I have hubs that need to be revitalized and refurished!
My favorite thing so far is the goals box in the editing screen.
The follow/feed combo is awesome - it makes it very easy to keep up with my favorites. The notifications for new comments on hubs that I've commented on is a plus, too!
I enjoyed the book/literature/writing hub-making template. Without having to guess what the various capsules looked like in a layout, it was right there in a sample template... just add words, pics, videos and Amazon... and remove the elements you don't need. I'd probably use that template for a lot of new hubs, book reviews or not.
those specific writing goals in a box they give you on the right side of the editing screen are pretty awesome. They give me a sense of goal-orientated writing and an idea of what featured articles consist of. helpful stuff
Must admit, it is easier to navigate the pages here. I really like that I can stalk...I mean follow...writers more easily here as well.
i've not tried any other pages but I'd definitely give hubpages at least a 8/10
The entire publishing platform is wonderful and very helpful. I love the feed and the feed filters. I have discovered so many hubs and hubbers on the feed that I most likely would have never seen, as I follow a number of topics.
I love everything about HubPages. Enjoy the forums, you feel the warmth, there are a few members that are not so friendly but that in any forum, I 'm getting used to their names now and I just glide on past them. Paul is very helpful he pops up any where so I know he is reading what is going on, thanks Paul something we never had on Squidoo, it's nice to meet you.
Looking forward to writing future hubs, first I would like to get my lens sorted out, so roll on September.

What is your favorite tool or feature of Hubpages?I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of Hubpages and after reading a lot of the help pages I find the two tools I find most helpful are the deadlinks page. I also like looking at the detail Amazon report in the earnings reports tab that shows...

There should be a quick and easy way for readers who aren't interested in writing to sign up and follow HubPages writers, topics, or niche sites without actually signing up for HubPages. I just had a reader say they really like PetHelpful and wanted to subscribe to the site. Unfortunately, the only...

On Twitter you can create lists of people that you are following and you can see the tweets of only those people. I wish we had the same thing on HubPages so that I can put the people I follow into lists. This can greatly increase my productivity if I can see hubs that I do not wish to miss easily...

I am sick and tired of seeing others' comments to hubs I've commented on show up in my "notifications". They show up because I didn't uncheck the default "follow" when I commented on a hub. This is crazy. Make the default the other way around. If I want to follow a trail of...
