Hi I've been with Hubpages about 4 weeks now and I am trying to update my Profile. There is so much information available and I am not sure what makes a good profile. I'd love for some of you to have a look at mine and comment on what I have done. One thing i cant seem to do is link to my hubs / other website - Why?
Hope this is the correct place to post this
Thanks
The length and contents seem appropriate. Probably wouldn't want to make the description longer, even though some Hubbers have gone much longer than you.
You need to carefully proofread the text for punctuation errors, of which I found several. Could be you will need some assistance, in case you don't fully understand the rules in that regard.
To create a hyperlink, what you need to do - in editing mode - is to type the text as you want it to appear, then highlight that. Click on the chainlink icon, paste the URL you want to link to inside the box that pops up, and click save.
Thank you very much for your reply. That is why two heads are better than one! I read through the text several times for spelling error and I thought i had found everything! I guess I am just out of practise. Going back now to review. Thanks again.

Does bad grammar and spelling bother you?I don't expect everyone to be an English professor, but for goodness sake people, use some punctuation and a built in spell-check! This is primarily aimed at forums, hubs, and places like YouTube comments. Places where people could take the time to read over...

I think HubPages is just a terrific opportunity for writers to write and make connections within the HubPages community. However, I am concerned about the quality of some of the hubs I see. Even if the writing is fresh and lively, if the spelling, punctuation, or grammar are poor, then...

Is it possible to correct spelling and punctuation errors in comments? I know you can do so in the Q & A. If it's not possible, is it best to just delete the comment? Thanks.
