HubNugget Fever!
75
There's Gold In Them Thar Hubs!
Your HubNugget team members have staked their claims, done a little prospecting. We scoured the hills, caves, river beds, drainage ditches, your grandma's attic and every other place we could think of that might contain some gold. Apologies to granny, by the way. She looked more than a little surprised to find us bumping around up there with our picks and shovels.
The good news is that Shirley, Ripplemaker and Patty look fabulous in those miner's hats with the little lights on them. But more to the point, we have struck the motherlode!
We recently made HubNuggets available in the new and improved economy size, and the response has been AWESOME! So, for your reading pleasure, there are fifteen HubNugget Wannabes just awaiting your votes, and glowing reviews!
But First, You Need To Meet The Team
Ryan Hupfer- The Grand HubNuggets Pubah. "Hup" is hubpages' official Communicator Of Awesomeness, and a true connoisseur of nuggety goodness. He keeps the world informed, over at the hubpages blog, and never seems to run out of words. If you don't believe me, slide on over to this forum thread and check out his crazy plan to write a hundred hubs in 30 days! Wish him luck while you're there, or better yet, join the quest!
Shirley Anderson- Extreme HubNugget Warrior, and leader of the band. That's right, she's our fearless leader. Ruling with an iron fist, as we cower in terror, wetting ourselves out of sheer...nah, just kidding. She's a real sweetheart. A talented, professional writer, and one of the best hubbers I know. Shirley digs deep to find our Nuggets, and writes many of the official HubNugget hubs.
ProCW- Mad scientist, play write, poet, he does it all. He also tirelessly mines for HubNugget gold, and creates our graphics! With all of those responsibilities, he still finds time to write HubNugget hubs. If you haven't met this guy, you really should swing by his profile and say hi. Tell him B.T. sent you!
Patty Inglish, MS- If ever there was a "model hubber", it would have to be Patty Inglish! Prolific in her writing of quality hubs, Patty was a much welcomed recent addition to Team HubNugget (and I'm not just saying that because she's my business partner in Gravy World Amusement park and Jackalope Sanctuary).
Ripplemaker- Is our resident angel. She floats on gossamer wings, from one nugget wannabe to the next, spreading the HubNugget joy. Ok, so she doesn't really have wings. But she does have a pretty cool Hubmobile that can carry as many passengers as need be. If you need a ride to the polls, just stick out your thumb, and she'll be along to pick you up!
B.T. Evilpants- That's me! I mine for nugget gold, write HubNugget hubs, and I recently posted my very own HubNugget blog. I'm takin' the HubNugget word to the streets! Feel free to swing by and catch up on anything you might have missed.
