I wrote a summary for my article about JFK assassination files being released. However, when I publish the article, the italicizes summary vanishes. What am I doing wrong? It's in the area below the headline. Thanks for any help!
The summary is to provide a brief intro on Google's search results. It's not visible to readers anywhere else.
okay, thanks, Marisa! I guess I'm okay then. Thank you so much! I've been wasting a lot of time on this. Really appreciate your help!!
Check your profile page the summary will be available besides your hub.

The summary field now has 300 characters available. It used to be 200 characters. Do you think writing more words in our summaries will improve our Hubs?
