I just joined an online book club to review books and found the following helpful post which also can apply to content articles here at HubPages.
With the rise of computers, underlining titles is archaic. It is very important not to underline titles or otherwise misuse underlining when writing on computers, especially in text to be displayed over the internet, because the underlined text will be confused with hyperlinks. On the internet, underlining is the default style for identifying a link and thus needs to be avoided otherwise.
Italicize names of works published by themselves. Use quotation marks around works that are published within another work. For instance, the following are all correct:
"Ghostwriter" by Kristi Hudecek-Ashwill is a short story in the anthology Holding Fire
Dark Sky Paradise is a great album. "One Man Can Change the World" is one of my favorite tracks on it.
Did you see my article "Why Scott is Cool" in The Wall Street Journal?
The episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die" is a very funny episode of the TV show South Park.
Again, please note that the titles in ALL CAPS are to be in ITALICS.
Blessings!
I had intended to delete the line about ALL CAPS in ITALICS, since I was able to italicize the words using codes.
I also intended a period (.) after Holding Fire.
Thank you for sharing this Marie. I found it interesting and helpful.

Just went through all my hubs and updated the titles using the Title Tuner. It's brand new and pretty sweet. It makes tweaking your titles super fast and easy. Highly recommended. Check it out.

Presently, the subject accolade is set up to reflect when a hubber reaches 1000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000 and 100,000,000 views. I believe that it should be revised to where it would reflect 1000, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, 75,000, 100,000 views, with the all of other levels remaining...

The early June hub view is showing dates published and revised. Many don't like it, so it may not survive. The argument is completely different, however, for official and learning center hubs. Since comments are not allowed (no problem there), there is no way to tell how old a particular hub is and...

During which months do the days start getting shorter (less sunlight), and when do they get longer?Which month, or day of the year, starts to see shorter days with less sunlight and which is the month when days begin to get longer. I know they only somewhat coincide with daylight savings.
