The title is not good. Do you think anyone is going to search for something like that?
I hope you do no expect to get any traffic from this. Anyone that opens the article and finds out that it is just personal is going to bounce out; the search engines will downgrade this artice until it is buried so deep that no one sees it.
Those personal photos are grainy. The first one is blurry and sets the tone for the whole article.

Congratulations on your many Twitter followers and Facebook friends.
I already told you that the first photo is blurry. Did you even read down that far?
Next time do not bother including "Also, if you see anything in the article that can be improved, please let me know"
If you do not want help from the community, I suggest you contact team@hubpages.com

You are the one who posted on a public forum. If you just want people to tell you how great you are and what a wonderful article it is, without criticism, you should not be asking for help.
As far as I know there is no way that we can tell 'for sure' which images are being referred to. I wish that HP would flag which image/s they are referring to but they don't !
However Tess in my opinion and looking at the images on my computer the first photo seems to have a problem in 'sharpness' and appears to be slightly out of focus? If you have Photoshop or other program you could try and get it 'sharper' or even put a white border around the image which would make the actual image smaller on screen and just may look better to HP ? You could even try putting another image up at the top?
You also asked for other suggestions and I noted that you have some Typos in the Subheads so it might pay to do a quick proofread
Good luck
Hi Tess.
I had this problem a while back and almost tore my hair out trying to figure out which image was the culprit!
In the end I emailed Simone (who isn't here anymore as you probably know, but was our go-to person back then). I got a reply super-quick telling me which one it was, I changed it out, and all was well.
Hubpages staff are always very genuine and helpful. And Christy Kirwan is really sweet, very smart, and very efficient. Don't be shy of asking her for help.
It saves meeting trolls with anger-issues, too (deep breath).
Hope that helps. x

Can I use colour in the starting of a new paragraph. I mean I want to use colour to grab attention in the para. So can I use it? Is it allowed?

I've read over and over the "get quality backlinks with Qassia" line.Is it true? Do links from this site help?How do you do it? I know you write the "intel", but where does the backlink link to? Your profile? Or can you change it to different hubs each time?

In case you haven't noticed, there's a massive edit of Owlcation articles going on. For the most part, I can only quibble about changes made, although a few irritating issues have cropped up. I suggest checking the editing because some errors are finding their way into articles.One or two of my...
