It would be cool to have a "nerdy" category. There are plenty of hubs about geek culture that are placed in various categories. It would be cool to have a nerdy/geeky category to put it in... maybe a meme category as well.
I know etsy has a category called Geekery. Maybe something like that. Just a thought.
Awesome suggestion, melbel! I love to do geek crafts myself, so something pan-nerddom-related is very appealing! I'll put on my Hat of +5 Intelligence and do some thinking about how to implement your ideas. Stay tuned and I'll get back to you about the Topics I end up creating.
Hello again, melbel, I've created a couple categories based on your suggestion. The new Topics are:
-Arts and Design>Crafts & Handiwork>Geek Crafts
-Technology>Internet and the Web>Internet Culture
-Technology>Internet and the Web>Internet Culture>Internet Memes
You should be able to move existing Hubs to those Topics and start new Hubs in them now, but new Topics don't get their own Topic Pages on the site until they have at least 15 featured Hubs in them. The nice thing is that if you help us fill up those Topics, your Hubs will most likely show up on the first page when the 15-Hub threshold is reached. >^. .^<
HEAR HEAR!
I'm alerting Christy Kirwan, our venerable Topics Queen. She'll take care of it!
Thanks for the awesometastic suggestion, melbel.
Daaaaamn, skillet! That was way fast. Thanks!
Edit: Oh, I'm seeing two categories under technology:
internet trends and culture
internet culture

now I have studied seo for about 10 year now and i know why the majority of hubbers have been penalized by googles new update. the problem is with the subdomain names and categories. ill show you google looks for subdomains and list them as a niche or category. now when hubbers stick to the same...

what about a motorcycle and riding gear category instead of just the different motocycles?

How can I propose a new category?I want to propose a category for "History of Mexico."

I've noticed that there are some missing categories on HubPages. I'm hoping this is something that can be addressed so as to enable hubs which have transferred to cluster in a more appropriate wayCan I suggest we try and highlight the new categories that we'd like to see added.

I see lots of categories, but not a single one refers to self improvement. This is a huge industry, worth over $20 BN and hubpages has just ignored it completely. This category needs to be added in urgently. Sub topics would be success, goal setting, positive attitude, confidence, self esteem, mind...
