The hub you're most proud of...

1. 0

   helenathegreatposted 15 years ago

   In the same vein as Mark's "unloved hubs" thread, can everyone share the hub they've written that they are most proud of?  Then we can all pat each other on the backs and be proud together (and maybe Digg/Stumbleupon, etc if we find the hubs worthy, as well).
   
   The hub I'm working on right now will definitely be my favorite that I've written, so I'll post the link when I'm done (and hopefully after someone else has piped in, too).

      Helenathegreat:
      
      This was a great idea... I never thought about the "patting on the back" but it makes sense. It's good for morale... As a new hubber, I don't have much to choose from, but I must say the last hub I finished tonight will probably be the one I am most proud of. See link here:
      http://hubpages.com/hub/Patrick-Swayze-A-Dying-Breed
      
      Before writing this hub my favorite was http://hubpages.com/hub/Becoming-an-F1-Student
      
      I would love to hear what you think about my hubs.

   I know it is a fringe topic, to say the least, but the hub I like best is the one I did on the SS Great Eastern. I had fun doing the additional research I needed, and especially finding photos. And really, this ship was so far ahead of its time it took the rest of the world 50 years to catch up with it. The Great Eastern was one of those great achievements that just sunk back into the mists of time and is largely forgotten.

   I feel utterly embarrassed right now. That will teach me to post my puny hub first.  You pulled all the right things into one hub. some good details, a little action with the whole explosion thing, and some great links and pics. I was just trying to picture what it would be like to be sitting on your deathbed, knowing you might never even get to see the ship you built off on its maiden voyage. Its a wonderful hub!

    The hub I'm most proud of is my one about true love. (It's also my most successful.) What can I say I'm a hopeless romantic.
    Growing up watching my Grandparents who were devoted to each other changed me as a person. I could never 'settle' in relationships because they showed me how wonderful true love is and how it shapes your life. And I made a promise to myself that if I couldn't have what they had then I would rather be alone with my dog. Lol.
    It hasn't been an easy road. I've been married and divorced and alone with my dog many times but finally my stubborn refusal to settle for anything less than true love has paid off.
    
    Finally I have the relationship that they had. (Or the humble beginnings of it.)
    May it last as long.
    
    Here is my take on true love:

    It never ceases to amaze me how many good hubs we have here. This is my personal "Best hub" Not because it gets the most traffic or makes the most money, but it was a labor of love and when Jason saw it he offered to turn it into a flagship hub and pay me for a FH. It took hours and hours and hours to put together, but I don't think I will ever do a better one.

    I am like many as far as having to choose one particular hub as a favorite but if I narrowed it down to just 1 it would be my latest because it was written during the time hubby and I were over the road in a big truck. I did a lot of writing when I was out there and had so much time to devote to it. I ventured new ground in writing and decided to try short stories. I wrote several and this was mine and hubby's favorite.

    I'm still quite new here, so chances are this will change in the future, but I just finished one (so new it's still advertising tattoos!) that I've been wanting to work on since I signed up, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's a topic near and dear to my heart, and I'm also more pleased than usual with the aesthetics of it in terms of the mix of text, video, images, links, etc.
