      ABSOLUTELY.
      I tried Squidoo and did a few articles there, but i hate Squidoo absolutely. No friendly community exists there.
      I know no other great place than HubPages. So, to me, HP rocks!

      Yea what he said.
      
      
      Things is , I dont know when things changed for me ,maybe its an evolving thing , first few weeks creating a hub was a hit n miss affair( mostly miss) then like all good addictions I perservered because I really wanted to write. So my hubs have improved and Ive learned alot about advertising ,whoa!
      
      Its probably more about selling words and advertising than what I thought writing was going to be about.
      
      So evolve is what Im trying to do
      
      The forums, are what they are, litttle bit of this, and a whole lotta that lol.

   I haven't really made any money from HubPages, so as far as monetary gain other sites like Triond and Helium seem to suit me better. I guess I may not really be doing it right. I actually started browsing the forums just now to look for better ways to promote my hubs, but it looks like I got distracted.

    Also I love Google Analytics, since I can see where my visitors are coming from.  In just two days of blogging, I have visitors from Utah, North Carolina, California, Israel, and the Philippines.

             Paddy was working at the fish plant in Cork when he  accidentally cut off all 10 of his fingers.
             
             He went to the emergency room in Cork's hospital.
             
             The doctor looked at Paddy and  said,   'Lets be avin' da fingers and oi'll  see what oi can do'.
             
             Paddy  said,   'Oi haven't got da fingers.'
             
             'Whadda ya  mean you haven't got da fingers?

    I think that Hubpages is an excellent platform for money making and a great community, but I do have concerns about its future and wish that there was more communication by staff on the forums about future plans and their own concerns. Unfortunately these concerns of mine are often knocked down and labelled as negativity by a few hubbers. There is no better adsense sharing site though, it is the best at what it does, and independant blogging can become lonely.

    I'm enjoying HP very much and am becoming rather addicted to it. I was a decent writer to start out with, but it's been a challenge for me in terms of learning how to write for online. I'm not making much money yet, but I'm getting some good feedback on my writing ... and I like having my work out there. When you write for magazines (as I've been doing for the past 15 years), your article comes out in one issue and then that's it, it's over, on to the next issue. I like that my HP hubs are just up there for anyone to see, any time.

    I love hubpages because it is very similar to my wardrobe. 30% of it is rubbish and does not look good on me. 10% is very exspensive and top quality which I would never get rid of. 20% is day wear that is comfy and reliable. 10% is sentimental and hold memories of times gone by. 30% is pure fashion for today, but will be thrown out soon.

          Course you are...I was sorting my wardrobe today as I am off to Portugal tommorrow, and it came into my head. I guess I could compare my wardrobe to lots of things in life.

             Just decided to be ruthless and cutback on 'things'
             Made a list of things I used in the last 6 months , everything else I sold or gave away, not like I had the antigues anyway or any Queen Ann lol.
             
             Its how I did my wardrobe too ,if I never worn something in the last 6 mths out( chances are ,Im not going to in the next 6 mths) it goes.
             
             And Ive been in the U.S 7 mths now and not missed a thing , ok maybe my hair straightner lol ,but honestly it was good for my hair to have a break and they are cheap to buy again , as opposed to excess wieght in luggage.
             
             Damn airlines making a killing these days !

    Do you have your own hair dressers, if so who runs it for ya, i have always thought a hair dressers shop would be a wonderful place to be all day watching people, for a writer.....

       I could make a documentary on my salons, but maybe I would lose my clients so I stay mum for now. Yes I have good managers in both so it's great as we can jet off when we like. They have worked for me for several years now and are like family. I am very lucky as most salons have a high turnover in staff. I can't even think when the last person left it was that long ago. The old biddies are the worst as they moan and moan all day long. I think they get bored and use us as a sounding board...bless.
