Can we choose which hubs are featured on our profile page?
Sometimes my least favorite hubs get prominent display on my profile page and my favorite hubs aren't displayed at all. That seems to be beyond our control, but I thought I'd check for sure, and perhaps suggest that as the next change/improvement.
You can include links to your favorite hubs in your profile text but the hubs below that are selected automatically by HubPages.
One way to influence which hubs appear where is to use groups. When you're editing your hub, it's below the capsule menu (same place where you write the summary). Make a group, and include related hubs in it. Then others will be able to use that group to browse your work, and the site will view them as related too.

I usually change these every now and then. I have 6 featured hubs on my profile. Today when I changed them, it only allowed me to feature 3. I saved them, and saw them, then they disappeared. I played around and got it to let me feature 4 hubs. This time when I saved and went back to my profile...

It would be useful to be able to sort our hubs into categories on the profile page. This would make it easier for readers to see what else is available in subjects that interest them, and also remind writers to work on a niche. I think the option was available on the old profile page - was it...

Hi,Hi,I keep getting the message that my hubs could be featured, but no matter how often I change them, they never are. I keep getting told that they may contain "spammy elements" but I'm not sure what these might be. Many of my hubs were previously published in my local newspaper, the...
