Have you categorized all of your Hubs yet? Show us!!

   Ryan Hupferposted 16 years ago

   OK, so I just finished categorizing all of my Hubs (I have 31) and I wanted to let everyone know about it....you know, just as a way to encourage all of the other Hubbers out there to cross their category finish line, too.
   
   I took a screenshot of my 'All of your Hubs are categorized' message and thought that we all could post them in this Forum post so that we can all hand out some digital high-fives once each of us completes the categorization process.
   
   
   
   I know that I don't have like 200+ Hubs, but I found that Fawntia did an amazing job with the Categorizer that she built -- it was super easy to get my Hubs all put in their correct places.
   
   Of course, seeing Larry over there the whole time helped me stay motivated, too.

    I categorized my 370 hubs yesterday and found the process to be really simple. Like others here, I was impressed with how well the tool work and how easy it was to complete the categorization task.. I often direct potential freelance clients to my hubs as samples of my work and this category option makes it a lot easier to direct them to the hubs that are most relevant to them! Very cool.

    Hey Larry / Hubpages,
    
    Started to categorize but found that Entertainment > Music > Rap & Hop-Hop?
    HOP-HOP?  ouch.
    
    Hip-Hop is the actual category.
    Hip-Hop & Rap is fine but not the other way around. 
    Rap is a very outdated word.   More of a verb than a genre. 
    
    Thanks, even though I'm the only one who prob'ly cares.

    Another suggestion I had about the subcategory for history was not to lump Australia and Oceania together.  I think breaking Oceania up into Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia would make it more specific.  Also, give New Zealand its own category perhaps .

       Hi SweetiePie,
       
       Thanks very much for your request.
       
       In my view, any history discussions that are nation-specific should probably go in Travel & Places.
       
       For example, if you want to write about the History of New Zealand, I think that would fit nicely in:
       Travel & Places/Oceania/Australasia/New Zealand
       
       If you wanted to write about Micronesia, then you could put the hub in:
       Travel & Places/Oceans/Micronesia
       
       Will that work for you?

    The only other thing I could think to add (if you have room) would be maybe by decade
    ~50s 60s 70s 80s 90s~
    As far as TV Shows goes, I would add these three....Science Fiction, Cartoons & Reality

       I've added the following TV show categories:
       
       * Reality TV
       * Science Fiction & Fantasy (that's what I have in other places)
       * TV Cartoons
       
       I'm open to adding 50's, 60's, etc. to the Music Category but I want to think about it more.  As a rule, other than the History category, I've been trying to avoid decade-type categories.  I would prefer to organize by the music genres that were popular in the 50s, popular in 60s, etc.
       
       I'll post back here after I've thought more about it.

    I haven't finished mine yet, but I'm noticing the odd duplication and inconsistency.  For instance, there is a category for "Dance" under Performing Arts but there's also a separate category for "Ballet".  Unless there's a specific SEO reason for making ballet separate (is it more popular or something?), then it makes no sense - ballet should be under Dance.

       The History of Inventions category is Knowledge & Education/History of Archeology/Major Inventions & Discoveries.
       
       Recent Inventions should probably be organized by the "type" of invention.  The current broad categories are:
