On Answers, someone said 2000 hubs were unpublished for lack of a summary? Should I be concerned? My articles do fine without summaries.
I have published 2 hubs and on both, hubpages has marked it as without summary, and still both are published. So the problem must be something else...
I don't use summaries on all of mine, only about 30%... the rest I either use the first paragraph of the hub I've written, or I check out your hubs and use the first paragraph of yours!
The person was misinformed. Not having summaries is not a reason to have a hub unpublished. Likely there were other rules broken.
From what I understand, the summaries are for the good of your hub. It really isn't that hard to add one. Greg
I think you should be concerned because Hubpages is extremely too strict with their rules.
And you know this after less than a day on the site? The correct answer has been given above. Not having a summary is not breaking the rules.
Yeah I hate sites that post TOS and treat them like you really have to obey them to use their site. I mean they really should be suggestions of service or maybe guidelines of service.
Damn rules Nazis. Anarchy Rulez!
Hello, genuineaid. Like WryLilt said.
Why would you give an opinion like that when you haven't even been on HP a day?
Oh! Oh! Are you a troll?!! Have I met a troll?!!

Is anyone else afraid of adding summaries to their hubs?In general, my hubs that have a summary do not do as well as my hubs that do not have a summary. All of my best hubs do not have summaries. I know it is suggested to add a summary to every hub but this makes me afraid...

Is this common? On the Google results page, just under the title of my hub, Goodle is using the first sentence of the hub instead of the summary. (Yes, the summary is there on the hub, I checked.) Are summaries just wishful thinking on my part? Is this just more of Google playing hard to get and...

How come after I type in a summary, it disappears! After I publish, sometimes there will be that tiny little "A" that tells me there is no summary. I KNOW I did it. What am I doing wrong? After doing the summary, I see no "save" button. Anybody????

http://blog.hubpages.com/2013/04/five-f … b-barrier/The new blog post that just went up today really caught my eye. The crux: "Until you have published five simultaneously-Featured Hubs, new Hubs that do not pass the Quality Assessment Process (QAP) will be unpublished rather...
