I have experimented with hub design and my new hub is my longest. Any feedback is appreciated.
My main concern is if I should break it up a little. What do you think?

Okay Keith. Fill your boots... I've posted some of the many things that I have an interest in sharing. I keep thinking what would be really interesting to attract the type of Hubber's I'd like to learn from. I've just begun this journey and have found my self more than a little disapointed that there are not more bodies interested in the same things I am. Plus my overall score as in my profile is a sad statement considering I have lived a very exciting life and have done alot with it... I do need a critical eye to have a look and a comment on where I could be going with this. I notice that the forums that get the most traffic are the mundane word games and scenarios that call for short answers... can you help me?
I have only been here a few eeks longer than you. I write what strikes me. If I find myself searching the web for something I write about it or at least check the keywords to see if it is worth my time.
There are a lot of bubs by seasoned pros. Read them. Then read them again. Print them, carry them around. Learn. We are both on the same curve.
Firstly, I'm no expert!
I think it all depends what you are trying to achieve, if you are trying to make money with amazon/google then im not sure how successful you would be with that design.
However photogenic you may be, that extra picture of yourself does not really make a point or help capture the reader's attention. Try to go to Wikimedia Commons and search for a picture, like a beautiful sunset for example.
About Amazon, I would agree that the module is very far down on the page.
Other than that, seems to me it would be a pity breaking it into smaller pieces, because you are trying to make a point in 5 steps, and it is not enough for several hubs. But around steps 2 and 3, it would be good to have something visual to look at. If it is possible, you could even move the Amazon block up there?

When our hubs were once chosen, we had a way to see what was supposed to be fixed before it appeared on a niche site. Now I don't see anything like that. It could be me, but there was a way to see what they wanted added or deleted.It's very frustrating. Yesterday I was told my hub on Zeus, the...

I have been here for about 5 months, I started turning out Hubs about 2 months ago...I'm up to 29, which I know isn't a lot. However, my fiance only has 5 and is getting hits on Google. I haven't made a penny but I have made some off of Amazon so far. Only 16 dollars but still....I have had success...

I don't understand the reasoning behind penalizing authors for multiple links to the same domain. My Cedar Point hub has been flagged for violations because it repeatedly links to the cedar point website. I have no personal investment in this site at all, but I have a violation warning. The same...

I am considering writing a new hub on the topic of children's books. Something along the lines of "10 Most Classic Children's Books" or "10 Best Holiday Books for Toddlers" etc. I want to have something like one text module for each book in my hub describing why it's on my...

In terms of philosophy or theology something like this:X is a mistaken position for reasons A,B,C. This Hub is an example of that position, lets do a point by point dissection of it (while not infringing on copyright) while pointing out the problems in their reasoning.Is that doable? Will it get...
