50 Great Hubs Chosen By 50 Great Hubbers : Hubs 1-25
75
To celebrate my 100th hub on hubpages I thought that I would give something back to the hubpages community, so many of whom are helpful to those that wish to learn. I embarked on a project entitled '100 Great Hubs Chosen By 100 Great Hubbers', however the compilation of this project was taking far too much of my time; and proving to seriously slow down my progress towards the great 100th hub. Therefore it is my great honour to present to you '50 Great Hubs Chosen By 50 Great Hubbers', a collection of 50 fantastic hubs each chosen by a fantastic hubber..... well, at least the likelyhood is that all of these hubs are fantastic, remember that I had no input into selection and places were limited on a first-come-first-serve basis! I have split this project into two, with this page listing hubs 1-25 and the second part listing hubs 26-50. Please note that these hubs are in no way ranked.

Thanks, you sure it looks ok? I probably could have made it a little better - maybe I will sometime.... it's one of those that was starting to drag on just a little too long, and I still have the second part to finish :-S
Wow!!! Great Job and you posted our comments to it was so hard to pick them but you did a great job I am amazed, congratulations!!!! :)
Great job ryan, I look forward to reading the above hubs and the one's to come. Brilliant idea.
Cool idea!! I love this and can't wait for the next installment. That was really fab of you to do this.
Well done Ryan. It's really good. I will bookmark the 2 of them and read the Hubs one by one. There are thousands of Hubbers on HP and we obviously miss some very good useful Hubs. This project helps to deal with that now, so we're all-rounded. :)
No need to thank me guys, thanks to everybody that contributed the hubs featured, and of course the hubbers that wrote great hubs in the first place ;) Glad that it looks ok.... maybe I will try and make it a little flashier once part 2 is completed.
Nice Job Ryan - you rock! There is lots of great reading here. It's truly amazing how much talent we have right here on HubPages!
Excellent work Ryan! Great compilation! I'll be reading the ones that I haven't read yet!
Great Hub, Ryan, and great idea! I have a lot of reading to do now...looking forward to part 2.
Many thanks guys, Part 2 should be done in the next few days.... takes a lot longer than you would think! Thanks again for checking it out.
Thumbs up Ryan! There are so many wonderful hubs to read and this list will be bookmarked so I could come back and read them all. To the next 25 hubs! :)
Thank You for taking the time to do this. We do reap what we sow. Very well done. I have not read your hubs yet. I look forward to coming back soon to visit. I happened to land on this hub and thought wow interesting. Your hard work shows Way to go. May God Bless and yours.
Some of the above are really nice, great choice pal.
Hi RyanKett!
I have read some of the above hubs, and I am happy to see my hub appearing above! and also to have links to some of hubpages best hubs! including this one of course!!:)
Great job, Ryan. Looking forward to the rest! :)
So you finally got around to publishing the first 25. Congratulations ryan =). We're all waiting to see the last half of the top 50 =)
I really enjoyed this hub, and I see many of my personal favorites included. I love how you included the comments of other hubbers. What a wonderful way to celebrate you 100th hub! I am looking forward to Part 2! :D
Good work, Ryan. I've read some of these hubs, but there are many I haven't seen. I'm looking forward to reading those hubs -- and I'm looking forward to Part II.
Thank you everybody for your responses, the second half is forthcoming don't worry. I will probably give this one a makeover too.
@shamelabboush - These were not my choices buddy, the first 50 people to reply to my forum thread (as long as they gave a few lines) are included. I still havent read several of these hubs myself ;)
hey ryan
i read part II first, good thing I realized that there must be a list for #s 1-25! Great read and it's so very selfless of you to do this. And congratulations on your 100th! Way to go! :D
Hey Cris, nope not at 100 yet unfortunately... this was going to be a 'great 100' list... but got impatient and decided to publish at 50. But, if you notice the URL ;) there may be plans afoot to extend to 100 in time for my 100th hub. Feel free to email me your own recommendation and if I get enough, it will be in the next installment.
ryan
Oh right, it seems I lost my way in the intro. but what the heck, a great hub is a great hub. I think I will, I have a couple of favorite hubs bookmarked - the problem now is choosing!
Everybody had that problem, but I'm sure you can manage it ;) maybe featuring somebody that hasn't already had a hub chosen would be a good way of eliminating?
Great job mate, some great picks there and a great idea !
You maybe are worm hub.Thank you for introduction hub interested.
Great Diversity Ryan and thanks everyone for the double exposure of two of my works. You have done well Sir.. Looking like a Hundie Score! Thanks again Ryan.
Hello Ryan, I visted your hub because you have an avid 'pro-Ryan' team going on and I said, woah, I gotta check this dude out! Glad I did! Then I came to this hub to see if you have my mentors BC, the Cabin Girl and of course, my dearest Cris A on here and behold one of my poems made the list (sweet) what a treat! Thank you, for the add here, I feel humbled to be on the top 50 list with some of the greats here on the hubpages!
