How do you enable non-members to have access to read all your hubs?
Today, a friend of mine visited my HubPage; she wanted to read my book, "The Craven and The Crag". All she could find was parts 2 and 3 of Chapter 1. She could not find Part 1, and neither could she find the introduction I had written. Apparently, if an article is not featured, non-members cannot access and read it. How can I get it accessed? Is there a way to link the articles together, or through my bio?
You need to edit your profile page so that it shows all your hubs by default, not just the featured hubs. If you enter the edit mode, you will see a question with yes/no check boxes, it asks if you want your profile to display all hubs or just featured hubs.
If you only have it set to display featured hubs only, then members will not be able to see your other hubs either.
SYTL, have you put your Hubs in Groups? If you have done so, and if they are ordered in a logical way within the group, then the titles of the preceding and the succeeding Hub should appear as active links at the bottom of a Hub that is within the same group.
If you haven't grouped them yet, you can do so by clicking on Groups in the menu on the left side of your "My Account" page and then following the fairly intuitive process from that point on. I have written a Hub about how to link one's own Hubs on Hubpages, if you need more specific details. Right now, it is still a featured Hub.
I will add, during the past six weeks or so I have not been highly active on HP and I may not be up to speed on what happens with links to Idled hubs (in case any of my answer here makes little or no sense).
Adding to what RTalloni has said, you could also send your friend(s) a link to the specific Hub(s) they can't find. If a lot of traffic starts showing up for an Idled Hub, it is supposed to become featured again - in time (but I'm not sure how much time or traffic is needed).
You guys - thank you all for your answers! I have done all of the above - now I'll see if I've increased traffic to my site.

And I can't change it!!!The wording changed in the profile editor. It now says, "Show only Featured Hubs on my profile: Yes No"Which means we now want to click "Yes". Which I did. And then I saved it of course. But it doesn't work. It keeps reverting back to "No". And...

Perhaps long term experienced hubbers can help with this. HP allows me to choose six hubs that will rotate at the top of my profile. Which should I choose?The oldest? the newest? The most popular based on number of views.? The least popular? The ones declining? The ones with the up...

It appears that there has been a recent change on my profile page. Underneath the number of published hubs, there is a number of featured hubs. I do not want this to be shown. My ratio of featured hubs is less than 50% of the number of published hubs. My understanding of why...

I'm thinking the answer is probably yes?If you have hubs that have been deemed "not featured", for one reason or another, will that factor into lowering your overall score/rating as a HubPages member? Example--let's say your overall rating is 75. If 10 non featured hubs become...

I have 6 out of 210 hubs. I've tried improving them but they still have a big old goose egg. I'm still not sure what it means when they aren't featured. I mean people still read them...
