Not sure whether I already posted about this a few weeks ago, but I notice that unlike other websites and HubPages network sites, saving Medium articles from a browser doesn't create a readable HTML file. I tested this by saving, then going offline and trying to open an article. The browser gave a 404 error, so presumably some code on the Medium site is needed for viewing the files. Medium support told me that "Medium does not offer any offline reading features on the web". Using the export facility on the site isn't much use either because it doesn't save images. this is "to keep the file size under control" according to Medium when I asked them.
So how do other people do it?
On the article itself you save the link or “friend link”and paste that wherever you want to share it.
For people who are’t Medium members to be able to read the entire article you have to use the “friend link.”
You can copy, paste the entire article and keep it for your record. Images are already available with you. So, why save them?

For those who've moved articles to Medium, please refresh my memory. All I have to do is copy the link and put it in the Medium 'Import' box? Then edit as needed in the Medium app?ThanksEdit: After I import the article to Medium, should I delete it from Hubpages?

It was published 12 years ago and has had seven edits by editors over the years. Possibly it has been moved because of low traffic or not enough content. Some reasons suggested were: long walls of text non-evergreen content photos that are too small (<700px...

Would this work or is ranking predominately determined by a network site's rating? Would it help get more traffic so that backlinks would potentially be more likely to be produced pointing to an article, then ads could be turned back on again later?

I'm aiming to try Medium. I've seen others say things like, "It took me three months to figure out what I was doing there," so I'm trying to reduce that learning period with research. I've already learned a lot just from reading the Medium Guides, but I have a couple of questions, which...
