Check out the beautiful new Wide Hub!

The Hub Redesign is Here!

The wait for the Wide Hub is over

Our Hub redesign went live yesterday, and we're absolutely thrilled! We hope you love the new look as much as we do. We are still doing a few minor tweaks, but we expect the design to end up looking very similar to the way it does now.

If you experience any bugs or problems with the new design, don't hesitate to let Marina know in this Forum thread.

Pro Tips

Your author section will look a little different.

Making the Most of the New Wide Hub

Since your Hubs are a little different now, here are a few tips to make sure everything will look as awesome as possible with the new design:

  • Make sure your real name looks the way you want it to. The new design shows your real name beside your Hubber name. You can change the way your real name is displayed on your Edit Profile page.
  • Make sure your profile photo is large enough. Profile photos are displayed a bit larger now, so it's a good idea to make sure your photo doesn't look blurry or pixelated (and upload a larger one if it does).
  • Check your More by Author Hub section. Hubs displayed here are chosen by a number of factors including quality, relatedness, and category. Be sure that the best possible category is chosen for each of your Hubs so that your More by Author Hubs are more likely to be related.
