Keep Those Hubs Coming

We love that you're doing what you love!

Hi there friends, those of us here at HP HQ have noticed something exciting happening lately. For the last month, Hub production has increased. Summer is usually the slowest time here on HubPages, and we're absolutely delighted to see that the new Network Sites are inspiring many of you to buck the summer slump and start writing for the first time in a while. Keep them coming!

Just a friendly reminder: if it's been a while since you last composed a Hub, it's a good idea to check out the Learning Center to see if the HubPages policies and best practice recommendations have changed since the last time you published. You can also browse the HubPages Blog for recent major announcements and updates. Happy Hubbing!

No Time to Write? Save Those Ideas for Later!

We know summer is a busy time for many of you and it may be harder to steal some quiet time at the computer for Hubbing. Make sure you save your great ideas and experiences so you can write about them later. Here are a few ideas for summer Hub preparation that will have you ready to write come fall:

• Take photos everywhere you go. Even if you don't feel like writing about all your summer exploits and adventures, you never know when you might need a photo of a tree or a lake or a flower garden.
• Use your smartphone, a pocket notebook & pen, or even a voice recorder to jot down your ideas for Hubs so that you'll remember what you want to write about later.
• Stuck on a flight, train, or the passenger side during a road trip? Create a quick outline and organize the paragraphs for your next Hub.
• Keep your mind open everywhere you go. The more you learn, the more you'll have to share with the world. :)
