Categories coming to HubPages -- Need Your Input
Sounds great, Larry!
The only thing that I can think of that'd be a great help is: sub level categories within each top level category...
BUT THEN AGAIN... i just read the blog post... 3-levels deep! cool!

Oh, and "Art & Writing" possibly "Arts & Writing" ...
I agree on the crafts big time
. Many of us crafters would love this category .
This is an exciting development, may I also recommend a Poetry category as their are quite a few poets on HubPages!!
love the expression "non-caustic non-religious" --
I think Law is missing
LG, there are a few places that Chakras, kundalini, Reiki and such topics would fit, but would likely be best placed under Health, as they're subjects within the realm of alternative medicine like Fawntia said. Color therapy is, by definition, a form of alternative medicine, so putting it and topics like it under that heading would work well.
I like the category idea, Larry, Fawntia. I think, too, that this list looks great as far as top-tier categories go.
Hooray!May I suggest an Event Planning category?
I see that you have plans for a Birthdays and Holidays category. Many event planning articles would of course fall into this category -- but hubs about reunions, christenings, anniversaries, graduation ceremonies, weddings and more would not fit so easily into this category. Broadening the category to call it Event Planning -- or perhaps just Events -- might work a bit better.
In addition, some writers may prefer to use the Birthdays and Holidays category to write about origins, traditions, alternatives, etc, rather than offering standard event planning tips. Calling the category Events might work better for this purpose.
There is a great deal of public interest in event planning, and people are becoming increasingly likely to search online for advice when planning any sort of party or celebration. Sites geared toward answering event planning questions receive tons of traffic. Many hubbers are already contributing hubs with event planning advice, so this may be a category worth considering.
By the way, I think adding categories is a great idea -- but I can certainly appreciate that it will be a daunting task, much trickier than most of us can imagine. Thank you for tackling it -- and good luck!- shinujohn2008posted 15 years ago
0 You guys would know best about it, too, since you have access to data from every single hub written so far (even the unpublished ones half-done) and I'm sure whatever you guys come up with will be fantastic!
Thank you for all the hard work you folks put in, even if I am jealous of the location your offices are at!
Oops cannot forget recipes as we all seem to somehow and sometime , tend to hunt for new dishes to make.
Without wishing to appear old fashioned what about the old fashioned "miscellaneous" ?
Pretty good, but wondering where History will fit in.
Hey Larry... Here's an idea...
create a hub or two or ten that lists all the categories, subcategories and sub-subcategories attach a poll based on each ... and um... let the hubbers vote on them...
what do ya think?
ProCWHow about self improvement or personal growth articles? Where does that fit?
Now you know I am going to say Green - carbon offsetting
I am really happy that hubpages is finally starting on adding categories. Its the one thing that I felt hubpages was lacking. Yes tags are fine, but sometimes you just want to look at hubs by categories. Thank You
lol, painless...there are so many levels of that now n I not goin there,
