Is there a way to make a hub invisible for a while, but not delete it?
For hubs about holidays, is there a way to make the hub invisible, but not delete it until the holiday nears?
I think you could leave it in edit/unpublished mode, but does that hurt your stats?
If you unpiblish it, the points on your hub will drop but no more than leaving it sitting. If you leave it published, it might actually be viewed by someone. My Halloween story gets views on it now. I have had about a dozen people read it in the last month.
Thanks. The little girl across the street does a Halloween party each birthday (March?). Her mom gives us neighbors treats to hand out in this unexpected time.
Why bother? There may be someone out there who is planning ahead and could benefit from seeing your holiday hub now. It won't hurt you to leave the hub published. If you're concerned about cluttering up what you feel are current hubs then separate the hubs into topic sections and keep all the holiday ones together.
This is true. Many people purchase discontinued holiday items in preparation for next year. ;-)

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I can't seem to figure out how to delete one of my hubs. It never got published because it showed up as a "duplicate." It was an old article from one of my former websites, and someone plagiarized it. I've since gotten them to take it down, but in...

How do I delete an unpublished hub?
by Liz Elias 11 years ago
Normally, I approve 99% of all comments left on my hubs. But twice today, and once yesterday, there were comments left, all by "anonymous," that I simply denied because they were just way out of line.Not demeaning, offensive, hateful, or anything like that...just WAY off topic.In...
