Hi all, I've finally had the time to reformat a hub - I came over from Squidland. It's taken me 2 days. I would love some feedback so I can continue with the others and not miss something major.
Thanks very much
http://nimblepins.hubpages.com/hub/coff … er-flowers
This is a great hub! It is informative you show your expertise with your photos and the tips you provide.
Love all the photos you provide - make sure you have asked the people if you have permission to use their photos. I have a feeling that if you ask, since you aren't taking the info and providing links, people would be happy to say yes.
My suggestions, since I can never leave anything alone - change thenester to The Nester, so it doesn't look like a typo.
You move on to talk about felt and tissue paper flowers without a transition - I think it is okay to leave there, but maybe you can say something like, once you've used up your coffee filters, try tissue or felt...
Also, I think you should add a conclusion that sums up everything you have included so people have a reminder of what they saw. Maybe add a poll to see if anyone has ever made these before, or maybe ask a more controversial question like is it classy or trashy? Ask for feedback to encourage comments.
Thank you very much. Those are very helpful suggestions - just what I need!
You have this as the first sentence:
"Tutorials and patterns to make flowers out of coffee filters"
I suggest that sentence should be in your summary instead. It doesn't read well where it is, and looks as though it should be a sub-title.
I'm guessing this Hub originally had Amazon capsules for the materials needed to make the flowers? If so, put them back in. There's no need to be scared of using Amazon - the new guidelines specifically state that it's OK to have Amazon capsules for materials for craft Hubs. Just remember that you must always have at least one paragraph of text between your Amazon capsules and you'll be fine.
This is not correct. You may use two or three Amazon capsules in a row, if appropriate. Go to the blog post about spam and look at example # 3 under 'OK Product Hubs' where you will find groups of two and of three Amazon capsules in a row on that Hub, without text in between:
http://blog.hubpages.com/2015/01/07/an- … t-capsules
I find that interesting because ever since the new filter came out, I've come across lots of people who've got the "spammy" warning - and if they separate the capsules it solves the problem.
Maybe you changed something else on your Hub at the same time.
It wasn't me personally, I've never had that warning. Just several other people whom I've helped out.
Thank you, Writer Fox. I'll probably play it safe.
I appreciate your time.
Thank you, Marisa
I have changed my 1st sentence. and thanks to you and Millionaire tips for the idea of a summary - don't know why I never thought of that! Interesting about the Amazon tips.
I appreciate your help.

I tried to add an amazon capsule to a hub the other day. Hm. No results. In fact, a search on "book" turned up no results. Very interesting. The hub tool must be broken.Later, I went to check on my Amazon earnings account and found that it had been closed. Just "closed". The...

Hi MickiIf you've noticed I've not written any hubs recently, I'm on my vacations from University and thought of doing a 30 hubs in 30 days challenge. Rather, I've gone for a 30 Wizzley articles in 30 days - for a good reason: Their amazon Capsules are way better formatted - users feel like...

The nice thing about the new Amazon capsule is that it displays the description text in the same size as the rest of the hub. This can be beneficial and may turn into better sales. So I reorganized one of my hubs, moving much of my text from text capsules into the Amazon description fields. This...

This Hub has failed QAP due to spammy elements. I know that means the Amazon capsules, but honestly - if genuine product reviews like this can't pass QAP, things have become ridiculous: Recommended DVD's for Male Ballet Dancers. If I remove all the Amazon capsules, I feel like adding an...

While placing ads on hubs, such as Amazon and eBay, how many ads can we choose?I have seen many hubs having more than two ads, whereas when I choose I have options only upto 2, both for Amazon and eBay.
