         I am super impressed with your views over such a short period. You have relatively few hubs but you write in a niche where I doubt you will ever run out of views.  Very well done.

         Thanks, TIMETRAVELER2, that means a lot.   I would add that this was made possible with a huge increase in views from Flipboard this month.  Traffic has settled back to previous levels but I do intend doing some work on Flipboard to help promote mine and others work in my niche subject.

      Congratulations. I think that your craft tutorials could really take off if they escaped HubPages main site and its Google penalties.

         Thanks, Kylyssa.   My hubs are gradually being moved across to the niche sites and thus far, appear to be doing quite well.

            Sallybea, how do you get your hubs moved to niche sites? Is that something the hubber does, or does HubPages do it?  In other words, how do I get my articles to niche sites?
