HubMob Weekly topic: New Year around the World

1. 78

   Princessaposted 14 years ago

   
   
   
   Hello everyone, we have had a wonderful mood uplifting week with 43 published Hubs on men , ready to celebrate this week's International Men's Day on November 19.  We hope that with last week's hubs we have contributed to improve gender relations, promoting gender equality and highlighting positive male role models. 
   
   A special mention to last week's most prolific HubMobster, our Lynne Chandler an aspiring novelist who contributed to the HubMob with 4 hubs celebrating men:
   It's Raining Men
   Male Expressions of Love
   Men Have Body Image Issues too
   Show Your Man Some Love to get What You Need
   
   
   This week, we move on to an entirely different topic: New Year around the world.   For some of us, New Year is less than 2 months away, while for others New Year is a bit farther away.  This is the week to write about New Year celebrations in your culture.  Let us know all about your traditions, history, foods, celebrations, greetings and all the things related to a New Year. 
   
   Some ideas for a New Year around the world HubMob are:
   
   New Year traditions
   New Year celebrations
   Customs of New Year's Day
   History of New Year celebration
   New Year food: Traditional foods in your culture and foods to bring good luck.
   How do you celebrate New Year
   When do you celebrate New Year and how
   New Year decorations
   New Year cards and greetings
   Best places to spend New Year
   New Year's parades and fireworks
   New Year around the world: The Islamic New Year, the Chinese New Year, the Iranian New Year, the Water Festival, etc.
   Clothes to wear for new year to bring good luck
   New Year Songs
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. YOU MUST START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK.  Choose the Answer the Request green button.  Choose the MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT option. 
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3.  If necessary, change the category of your hub to a category that describes best the subject you are writing about.
   
   4. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/26583/hubm … w/&rss
   
   5. Add the HubMob graphic to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.
   
   6. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   
   If you are still not sure about what is a HubMob and the benefits of taking part in one I created this guide What is a hubmob and how to join one, please feel free to come up with any questions if you have any doubts left.

      You are welcome Lynne, you worked hard last week, you deserve the mention.  On top of that I enjoyed reading your hubs and like Money Glitch I've been singing It's rainning man all week long
      
      I wonder... if I go out in the garden and sing that around my tree... Could I be really calling the rain?  of men of course

       That sounds like such a great idea - too great to pass up. Maybe it could be included in that week's HubMob anyway, after the fact? Too bad to miss the publicity, but the HubMob's are often searched well after their week is done,

       Yes, you can.
       If you follow the rules it would be added automatically to the RSS feed.  But to add it to the Hub Shirley creates everyweek with all the Hubs you need to email her directly with a link to your hub.
       
       Obviously doing it outside the time limit your hub gets less promotion but at least it gets included in the RSS feed
