   Ever since our stats got stuck here, despite still being paid for past articles, I have been reluctant to write more articles for the site, and am now exploring other places to write that pay well. Any suggestions?

      If you find one, let me know. Unfortunately, I don't know of any platform that 'pays well'.
      
      If you have a unique niche that could attract many followers, then maybe Substack?

      I no longer write articles for HP due to their lack of communication and honesty. I know of no other platform that offers a decent revenue exchange. The Internet is dynamic and constantly changing. The best route to go these days is short videos.

      I tried SubStack, but it didn't work for me.  I've just created my own website and am transferring my hubs to that.  I'm going to try to monetize the site but I've basically given up on earning anything for my articles.

         Are you using Wordpress or building a website from scratch?

            I think from scratch.  My hosting service (HostGator) offers free Wordpress themes and free Wordpress site builder.  It took me a few weeks to figure it out and the landing page is still pretty crude, but the articles look pretty good.

               Don't you have to take out a subscription with Wordpress to use either your own ads/Google Adsense or their advertising programme?  Or are you just using Wordpress themes with no connection to the Wordpress site? I still haven’t figured all that out yet. I tried to import my HuPages articles, but I found the whole site very confusing to navigate. Also the free version of Wordpress offers very basic templates.

                  WordPress is not hosting my site, so I can't use their ad program.  I'm trying to get monetized with Google Adsense and then eventually, I'll add Amazon links.  It's a lot right now transferring 332 articles. 
                  
                  I agree that the free themes are very basic, but I just paid a web designer to redesign my website for my business, so I need to do this one for free.  No paid themes and no paid website builders.  Maybe in the future.

                     I use HostGator, and they have good support as long as you get the right person. But, there is always someone there. My site is getting larger, so I will have to upgrade the service and pay more, which I am debating right now.

                        I just upgraded because I added the new site which will be significantly larger than my existing business website.
                        
                        I'm happy with Hostgator.  They went through a period when they weren't great, but they seem to have gotten back on track.

                           Good for you! Expansion is always good. I am just debating whether I want to continue with having a website.
