   No alcohol in this one guys sorry. Really healthy though made with pina colada yogurt, banana, a bit of orange juice, a bit of milk, some coconut, and a little vanilla bean ice cream. Very filling.

    WA - If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you do with indexing?  You've mentioned it several times, and I'm not quite sure what it is...

       The index you get at the back of a book, so that you can find the pages that interest you...
       
       These have to be created by real people. Computers can create a concordance, which shows each mention of a word. However, that can lead to nonsense. Suppose an author makes a reference to "milk of human kindness". A computerised index would make a reference to "milk" and maybe to "dairy products", but these would be nonsensical.
       
       A human indexer decides what is relevant, and also whether the concept links to other concepts ("see also" references). An indexer also decides what term is best for the intended audience of the book. For example, in a book for lay people, a reference to varicella will get a "see chickenpox" reference.
       
       There are some accepted conventions and even an international standard for indexing. Therefore, it is better to do some training before starting on this work. The US American Society for Indexing and UK Society of Indexers both run distance learning courses. The pay is not too bad. Currently, I get $2 per page I index in a book, which works out at $16-30 per hour depending on the subject. The subjects can be deathly dull, but I did have a really interesting book on Egyptology once, although the author was a right pain and wanted to include totally inappropriate entries in the index.

          That actually sounds pretty cool! I guess I never really thought about the index before... just something I took for granted.  So... Thank you!

             Not necessarily so very knowledgeable, but a good level of general knowledge helps. No, I wouldn't tackle a book on nuclear physics or higher mathematics, and law indexing is a specialty in itself. My background is biomedical, but I've had only a couple of indexes in that field. I've tackled education, conference organisation, chicken rearing, wastewater management, to name a few, and am currently doing one on irrigation and drainage... yawn...

    Anyone have a hub that does well for them that is unexpected?
    
    Just curious.  I haven't had time to write very many, and haven't really started targeting an audience or using SEO or anything (still learning), so my hits aren't very high to begin with, but I am still quite suprised by the performance of a hub I wrote on refinishing a slate tile floor.  I've more hits on that than any of my other hubs, and it will die down for a little while and then suddenly I'll have 5 or 6 hits in a day on it again.  I just sort of shrug my shoulders.  We happened to be refinishing our floor, so I thought I may as well write about it.
