It would be helpful to have word counters for titles similar to the ones we have for summaries. What do you think?
I think that would be very helpful indeed, TIMETRAVELER2! I'll bring it up in our next community meeting!
Great. I don't imagine it would be very hard for you folks to do seeing as you already have the software to do it for the summaries. Frankly, I'm tired of counting words now that I'm using more long tail key word titles! Will appreciate this change, and I know others will as well.
Hey again! I just started a story for us to implement this feature. It's crazy that we haven't already, and the team agrees that this would be quite useful. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Presumably you mean a character counter, and yes that would be quite useful. I get tired of counting characters in making a title.
I check that in Word before I publish, and I hope you mean characters because if you need software to count the number of words in a title you are using too many
Geesh, you guys are picky today. Yes, I meant characters, not words! Mea Culpa. By the way, wilderness, I have updated every RV article...and some of those updates were in response to your complaint about my use of lists. Take a look and see what you think now!
They look good to me, TT - much better than before with all those lists. They're just a lot more readable now, at least to my eye. Good job.
Thanks...you have no idea how much work this has been for me! However, I agree...I let it get way out of hand. I appreciate your advice.

It would be really nice if the Summary Ap had a Character Limit Counter like on twitter so you don't lose the latter part of your text when "Done Editing", then have to go back to cut the text to the required limit.

Is anyone else afraid of adding summaries to their hubs?In general, my hubs that have a summary do not do as well as my hubs that do not have a summary. All of my best hubs do not have summaries. I know it is suggested to add a summary to every hub but this makes me afraid...

Has anyone noticed an increase in traffic after adding a "summary" ?I tried adding summary to a few of my most visited hubs and a few of my least visited hubs to see if there is any benefit from having summaries. What have you guys experienced?

My goodness, I have read oh so many forums trying to figure out why my once flourishing hubs suddenly took a devastating nosedive. I have learned a lot from others comments & shared experience. I have also recognized that there seems to potentially be a number of possible reasons why many hubs...

With your hub you always want to stand out in Google, so more people will visit your hub. Key factors here are your titles and summaries that you use. I found a great tool that you can use to see how your Google result will look like and how you can format your title and summary in such a way that...

My article for, "Payday 2," is number one on google, which I found out for the first time today forgetting I had even written it, and when it came up first I was like, "Oh wow!"I wasn't surprised to see it at number one, however, I was surprised to see what they did to the...
