For more information about the contest, visit the Personal Finance page. Good luck!
I really want to stress something - a lot of you are writing AMAZING Hubs, but you're not winning Staff Pick prizes because your titles are not optimized for search engines, and that is a HUGE part of our judging criteria.
For tips on how to do a good job in that department, visit: http://learningcenter.hubpages.com/hubcamp-sf-2/
And as a rule, STAY AWAY from generic guides - be specific, be descriptive, and title things like you would type out a search query (but capitalize words properly)Must be tough for you to suffer such feat.
Wow- sorry for my delayed response! They're really quite similar topics, as you've seen from the entries on those days. If you're ever unsure of differences, the best thing to do is check out the categories themselves and see what the other Hubs look like
Heeeeck yeah
I didn't post hubs in the personal finance category however I've posted hubs on how to save money doing enjoyable things like being creative with your gifts and natural cooking.
One of them is located here:

I would appreciate your comments and friendship.
I'm new on Hubs so you're welcome to advise me on anything.I am not very good at digital stuff and I don't know exactly what the video format is, such as mp4, wmv, avi, and so on. I only know my iPod accepts mp4 video, my windows movie make supports wmv and if you want to upload your videos to youtube.com you have to make it into flv I think. And if you have a Camcorder video I think not many player can play it so just convert them.
You know I can easily manage those video format because of Aiseesoft Total Video Converter It allows you to convert videos to any video format you want(including HD video).
Here I will share with you how to use it:
Step 1: Load Video
You can load your videos into the converter by clicking “Add File”
Step 2: Choose output info
This converter provides you many output profiles for you to choose, you can choose your output profiles according to your need. And also you can just choose a certain video format.
You can also adjust the settings of your output profiles. You can even save a certain settings as your own output settings.
Step 3: Conversion
Click “Start” button to begin your conversion and few mins later you can get your video.
Tips: How to effect, trim and crop the video to improve your output video quality.
After your Load your video you can click “Effect” button to access the effect panel
1: Effect
Adjust the video effect as you want: Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Deinterlacing.
2: Trim
Clip your video, pick up any part of your video to convert.
You have 3 ways to do trim:
1.Dragging the slider
2.Controlling the “Trim From” and “Trim To” button
3.Setting the Start and End time
3: Crop
Adjust video size, Cut off the black edge of your video to let you enjoy your movie in full screen by click the 'Crop' button
You have 2 ways to do crop:
1.Move your mouse cursor onto one of the eight small adjustment boxes on the cropping frame and drag the crop frame to crop the video such as cutting off top and bottom black bar. The cropped result will be shown on the Output Preview at the same time
2.Type the value directly or set the value in "Left", "Right" and "Cropped area size" area to set the position of the cropping frame.
You can also select the aspect ratio from the Zoom Mode drop-down list. There are 4 choices for you: Full Screen, 16:9, 4:3 and Keep Original.
After you convert your videos you can put your video to iPod, Windows Movie Maker, youtube.com, and other player without any problem.
Me, too. I suggest that they must accept the early birds because we also follow the link or thread. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Please Simone...
Yep, I think I published mine too early too. Oh well...my first HubPages contest - guess I was too eager!
Thanks Simone for the official kick off, this is really exciting. I have to say too, that Soni2006 and his enthusiasm for the contest is contagious!
I have been watching the contest thread before this one, and hope to catch up to him, but it won't be easy! Good luck to everyone that is participating.I agree with you. Soni is really an A-1 hubber to catch up with. He never runs out of ideas.
Well Simone, I don't think my two hubs that I've worked on and submitted will count for the drawings because of the time zone difference. I am disappointed b/c I specifically wrote them for the topics in the daily bonus. Bummer.
For easy reference, we've put a countdown clock on the page, but that's only for bonus topics
You can publish on anything within the PF category and qualify for the contest so long as you're publishing within this month.
I already read it and commented on it, Patty. A very well-researched hub. Congrats! I hope it would win.
Thanks, Simone. I did finish a hub, as starter. I hope this will be counted , too.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Ants-Legacy-in- … ng-FinanceThanks for the countdown clock Simone and team. That'll help keep us on track
I've published four today. Yipee!- cookingdivaposted 13 years ago
0 The limit for a day for qualifying Hubs is five. Any Hub within the Personal Finance category counts as an entry. If you publish one entry and it is not related to the daily topic, it gets one Daily Drawing entry. If you publish one and it IS in the Daily Topic category, you get three entries in the Daily Drawing. If you publish five Hubs, and all are on the Daily Bonus Topic category, you get eight entries. If you publish five and one is in the Daily Bonus Topic category, you still get eight entries.
I hope that clears things up
On my way to read it. Good luck!
Ever wanted to know why there are so many arguments about money?
My third article about spenders and savers may provide some insight!
http://hubpages.com/hub/Opposites-Attra … ey-Harmony ?Can Anyone explain to me what the deal is that relates to the flood of inquiries to Queensland (Australia) Bankers from those poor people with floating interest rates at the moment?
Nope - you don't need to post a link in the forum. Those are totally superfluous
