    What type of hub do you prefer to read? Humorous, how-to, advice, entertainment, etc.?
    What draws your eye more often and which do you look for?

    I dunno really. I just lurch around hubpages like a drunken bum.

    I'll go away Janetta and try to come back with something approaching intelligence smile

    Is it just me froggy, or are all your posts today about being drunk?  hehe

      I thought about it Janetta. I'm like a drunken bum.

      I know that's not quite as intelligent as maybe you or I had hoped but at least I'm now approaching the vertical again.



      Yes big_smile

        Put in such a nice day at the vodka spout she woke up still in a stupor. ;P

        I like to read various things...I dunno, I browse through many Hubs. I generally read anything based on its topic and what its about and how the Hubber puts ish together.

      No Shreekrishna, 'fraid not. Such objectives require more than one brain cell.

      I have one less than two. I am also still semi-inebriated from a night on the tiles last night.

      Therefore I'm honest. And unashamed as to what I do on Thursday evenings. Because kerb-crawling has a whole other meaning when you mix vodka with innocuous amounts of a rather good red wine smile

        P.S.S. Red wine makes me not feel good in the morning.

    I'm attracted by a catchy title and then will only read the whole hub if the first paragraph grabs me.  I have quite eclectic tastes and will read anything if it hooks me.

      What "hooks you?"

      I know how to write. What aggravates me is that sometimes I don't do what I know is right. We aren't talking morality here, we're talking about writing. So I guess that somewhere in the back of my mind it isn't such a big deal.

      I wonder, are some of my hubs beginning to fail because they aren't drawing people in? Or are they failing because they aren't catchy enough?

    I enjoy reading areas I don't really know about or specific areas (poets). Expand my knowledge base and style of writing. I like those that write like I am sitting right there smile

    Seems most everybody is pretty eclectic. I am too, I guess, but my faves are the funny ones. I enjoy anything helpful on topics I am interested in though.

    Most of the time I go looking for hubbers rather than hubs. I also like the funny ones most smile

    I really enjoy informative hubs that have a story with them.

    Robertsloan2 has some good examples of this, with his art.  Frieda Babbley and Tom Rubenoff  also are excellent this way. 

    I am also enjoying LondonGirl's historical hubs.  They are well arranged, good graphics, and plenty of information -- almost too much for one sitting.

      I agree with Christa, Frieda & Tom are brilliant hubbers, however Often I just browse around for interesting topics hub to hub. But I do read & very often comment on a hub I like. I feel positive comments truly act as a boost to the writer
