Hey markinter,
Just from looking over your Hub, I would say that it seems fairly unorganized as far as the placement of content goes. Although I know that having good text content is important, if it's not a very aesthetic read, then no one is going to give it much value either.
I would have made the photos of the software about half as large and would have paired them individually with the text that goes along with them. I think that it just makes much more sense that way.
Keep on Hubbing, you've got a great start and you understand how to use all of the tools...the rest just takes a little bit of practice, that's all. Keep it up!
It is a good looking hub, but there are an awful lot of mistakes in the English grammar. I would think this might put a reader off.
Apart from that, it seems very good. A little short perhaps, with no real information. I got the impression you hadn't actually tried any of the programs you are discussing.
Nice pictures, and good videos. I think if you fixed the poor English, it would work well.No that my English would be the greatest but as long as you are hubbing about "Improving your English Skills" you should provide clean and proper English grammar on your articles.
Can you please point me out some grammar mistakes I made...I don't see any (I'm not native English speaker as you noticed
)@Markinter - I`ve read your hub, and what I can say is that your English is pretty good, but the topic you are writing about is not the one you should concentrate on, that unless you are a native English speaker with some really good writing and reading skills. Just choose another topic that you would be more comfortable with, anything you like. I have to point this out - Some of the most popular blogs in the blogosphere are written by people that don`t handle English very well, and they seem to have success, so you don`t have to be perfect as long as you make yourself understood.
I went to an English school, (Oslo International School of Oslo) for 5 years, that`s where I`ve learned English mostly, what I can say my annual grades were far better than most of the other`s, raised and grown in English families. Writing is a bit more difficult than speaking, that is for sure. Sometimes you can not find your words when speaking to someone right? Imagine that writing without inspiration can be pretty tough.
At least I try my best to provide good articles, and that`s what I will be doing in the future.
AlexSorry, didn`t notice that.
I would suggest, that when organizing your material come up with at least 5 to 7 subheadings to your theme or subject matter.
Next ask yourself what information would someone want to know about this subject. Seek to answer all questions a reader may have.
After doing this before publishing have a friend or family member read it and give you advice on areas to improve, then publish it.
Hope this helps.

Why don't people check their spelling and grammar when they write and publish their Hubs?It is understandable when the person is not a native English speaker, but when the author is a native English speaker with some amount of education, it is quite sad.

Bias exhibited in the forum?
