I've started a hub on Capsules, seeing that there's a lot of questions from "new recruits" who are trying to find their way around a hub.
Currently it has information about Content Capsules. Not just explanations but examples. I will be updating it soon with what I'm writing about Revenue Capsules. And then a few other hints and tricks to make your hubbing experience easier.
Check it out: http://hubpages.com/_learn/hub/capsules
It looks good. It might be a good idea to explain how to add more capsules. My grandma is new to hubpages and she has been having a hard time figuring it out. I sent her a link to your hub.
By the way, I think it's fantastic that you're getting your grandmother involved.
She really seems to be enjoying it. She's writing about her experiences with my great grandma who is now living in an assisted living home.
I've finished the first complete draft, edited it, added some screenshots and images and published.
If there's anything I haven't quite nailed feel free to ask questions or leave feedback.
I'll be going over it with a fine tooth comb in the coming weeks (but not straight away, I want to look at it with fresh eyes) in an effort to target brand new users, in a way they can understand.

I'm on your 'Capsules' hub now, darkside. Great hub. Oh - THAT's how you put text and pics side-by-side! Awesome!
Stacie, has your grandmother published some hubs yet?
Oh yes, quite a few. I'm sure you've seen her around - she loves to comment on hubs.

Janderson just submitted some great suggestions on this thread:http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/126313#post2666393and I think this one deserves a suggestion post on its own.We're always being told to be discriminating with our Amazon capsules - less is more, they must be directly related, etc...

A very kind soul noticed a month ago that I need to learn how to break up my text with photos or something between the paragraphs when my text is long. She explained how to do it. I tried and couldn't grasp it. Then I misplaced or accidentally deleted her email -- so I haven't...

How many Amazon capsules are allowed per how many words? I don't care personally, I never made much on Amazon. But on a few of the lenses that came over, they are almost all Amazon capsules, with maybe 200 words. I tried to tell one person in a nice way that it was an interesting topic, but that...

This Hub has failed QAP due to spammy elements. I know that means the Amazon capsules, but honestly - if genuine product reviews like this can't pass QAP, things have become ridiculous: Recommended DVD's for Male Ballet Dancers. If I remove all the Amazon capsules, I feel like adding an...

This is a two-fold issue. I know we're in the middle of a Google Typhoon or whatever animal is wreaking havoc this month plus the summer traffic is, well, obviously somewhere else. In January/February of this year, my traffic was around 2000 views per day. Right now, I'm lucky if I crack 400. I'm...
