Hub editor just changed my entire piece. Traffic dropped by 2/3
Yes, of course, Hubpages edits your work. I'm very happy (usually) when they edit my work. All writers have their work edited.
Just now and then someone changes things, and changing something is not editing. - LIke putting a completely new photo in.
It's a program specifically aimed at writers.There's a bit of a learning curve to begin with, but I've been using it for years. I gather all my articles into one project.
It's at https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview and there's a free trial.
I find it so easy because I can access research right on the page, if I need to.
However, if you want something free, then YWriter is good. http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter6.html
Don't be put off by the fact they keep mentioning novel writing - one chapter = one article
All my storage is in DropBox, but you could use GoogleDrive and/or OneDrive - much easier than lugging out an external hard drive.Thank you so very, very much.
That is actually a superb idea. I don't know how much it costs, but at the moment, pennies are precious.
I have a good feeling about the future, though.
Will do the free trial and then use one of the others.You are welcome. I think Scrivener is about USD$48 for a lifetime licence plus you should get a free upgrade to the latest Windows version when they release it. If you have a Mac, then the new release is already out.
I think YWriter would serve you just as wellThank you.
Much appreciated.
Let me try that and see. Thanks.
You can get a free trial:

There's a learning curve, as with all these things.
You could also use Ywriter, which is free and has similar functionality. It describes itself as novel writing software, but think chapter = article.
For backup and storage I use DropBox, but you could use OneDrive and/or Google Drive and consign the hard drive to a cupboardRobin, it's sorted. I fixed it, and while I was fixing it, I happened to update it (I was planning to anyway). The editor then came back and corrected some things (good edits), so it was fine, in the end. Not to worry. All sorted.
What the editor did was change the photo right at the top, and from long experience, if people don't like the picture right at the top, then they don't click on the link. So I put back the picture that worked, updated it by labeling it with some info, and hopefully, it will improve my traffic even more.
Okay! Thanks for letting me know.

Most of the time when "management" (?) does this, it is minor cosmetic changes. For the second time however, whoever did this to my article has affected it in a bad way. My article, "Cool Boat Name Ideas" was changed, and then changed back (I think) to the way I had it before....
