what does it mean when it says my hubs are missing summary? Don't figure that out.
A summary can be input by going into edit mode on one of your hubs and clicking on the summary tab on the right hand side just under where you can add capsules. The summary is a brief 2-3 line description of your hub that will help it be found in the search engines.When you find your hub in a search engine the summary will be what appears below the link to your hub..
thanks for the input on Summary! I wasn't sure what that was. philzgrill
Hi, Jfay. I hope you don't mind me kinda "piggy-backing" on your thread to ask a related question.
Does anybody know where an auth....er...a hubber can (re)view his/her summaries?
Yeah - as with my hubs - I tend to "go a little OCD" over their quality, hub score (or rating, on other "ugc" site), and as I just wrote another one - I really want to check it for typos - or the very common (for me) error of doing "the the" or "withe", et cetera. Thanks much.

Yes, I am wondering the same, and all of mine have it. Its kind of unsettling, hope those "A's" go away soon?
Bigger question is, what happens if we don't add summaries? That is hundreds of hubs for several people.....
So it just means you haven't added said description to your hub/s. You've always been able to do this but the related warning that you haven't done so is new
Stan just go to edit mode your hubs and click on the summary tab on the right hand side just under where you can add capsules. You can see and edit your summaries from here.

Please do something to the filters so that Hub summaries as graphically-cluttered as the below can be found. This can't be helping.
