      An interesting question you pose. You can be anyone on the Net, and you can be yourself here on HP. You can do it by making your identity real, or you can do it by assuming a false identity. Whichever, you do have a voice here. The interesting thing is that you will eventually be found out...whether you are real or just playing.

      Be a friend in the community. Don't be so easily provoked that you have to identify enemies here. It's a waste of time. We're learning that when we lose a member of the community (as we have recently) the grief is surprisingly overwhelming.
      
      And write with passion, about whatever makes you want to write.

         "The phrase bee's knees seems to have evolved in 1920s America, along with 'the cat's pyjamas'. Other seemingly arbitrary terms of distinction from that era that have since died out include 'the snake's hips', 'the kipper's knickers' and 'the sardine's whiskers'."

      I agree with that, but I would add that the money is another number that you should try not to worry about too much at first. And your page views, which is the one I was mostly obsessed with. It is normal for your page views to surge when you first post a hub and then drop down. Just keep adding new ones, and in time the old ones may come back to life.

       Just write about the things that interest you, that you care about. And make sure you don't write too much in one capsule! When I started, all my hubs were in one capsule, and it took long to fix it. When they are formatted like that, you can't easily add a picture, links, or Amazon. You don't have any space to do it. I have been given both good and bad advice in the forums, but everyone is pretty nice and truly tries to help. It really is a community.

          You know me better than that. I am too new to the net to generate real traffic, yet. This is a great place to start for one who is new to the game. I believe if one is willing to do the work, and realize that hubs have a long shelf life, there can be significant financial return. I don't even have enough time to read many of the instructional hubs around here. I am probably losing money from ignorance all along the way.
          
          I like this mixed media, interactive magazine format. If you want, you can just read all day for free. There are very few writers here who are not good at what they do. It reminds me of some of the best musicians that I have known. Austin Pettit never got picked up by a record label, but he can make a guitar tell you how to feel.
          
          It's all good Sky9106. I have met you here. Your work, attitude and wisdom has been a joy. I have had to examine myself, and found myself lacking in comparison. You have saved me thousands in therapy costs.
