   Hello,
   I've been editing some old material on Hub Pages and have an article that is eligible for Remedy Grove with changes. I've made the suggested changes but would appreciate more eyes on the article before I submit. I haven't been active on Hub Pages since the network sites were introduced. I appreciate any insight you might have to offer (and edits). Thanks!

   Hi Emily, I have two suggestions:
   
   1. Remove "It's that time of year" in the first subtitle.
   
   2. Say something to the effect that 'this advice is not meant to be a substitute for professional medical advice. If you have any health concerns, please visit your doctor or phone a health support line." Just in case
   
   I know there is a disclaimer at the bottom, but if you add it in your own friendly style in the article body, it'll be more visible.

   Thank you. I appreciate the feedback and see the wisdom. Question: are my references in the proper format? It's been a long time since I've followed APA. That was the main feedback that I got from the editor.

      It would be better and neater to use the reference title as anchor text. So highlight it, click on the link (chain) icon and then paste in the URL.

   Also, do I need to be concerned with design elements like widows at the end of subtitles/paragraphs?

      No. Your subtitles, paragraphs and text capsules look just fine

   Just to add to the advice Bev has already given you, it is unclear if you have permission to use the photos, especially the one from photobucket.
   Your reference section looks a little messy. I would be inclined to number the references and also use intext links, as you have done in your article.
   Hope this helps and good luck.

   Another question. The article is up on Remedy Grove but has hardly any traffic. I didn't put a ton of effort into SEO, but didn't ignore it either. It's an odd article that I wrote ages ago & updated before submitting, so I don't expect it to be terribly popular. However, just wondering what to expect from the network sites--if it's worth posting new writing on HP.
