In the older formatted hubs when first starting a new hub, I only put down 2 or 3 keywords and after finishing the hub I would add the rest to the right hand side where it was located. With the new design (recipe hubs, for instance) that option seems to be gone. Do we now have to add all the keywords at the start of a hub? Sometimes my hubs evolve over time and I might be missing additions that would have been helpful. Anyone else noticing this?
This feature might not be available in the new format right now because they're still testing without all of the features added, so they can see if the basic format is working correctly. At least, they were doing that recently. I would assume that they don't have plans to remove tags. I just added a new hub and the ability to add tags is still present in the old format.
Peggy, just a note - you mean tags, not keywords. You should put your keywords in the tags section, but Google doesn't see your tags as keywords. They're for internal HubPages use.
You are correct, Marisa. I meant tags. In any case...with the new format it seems that they cannot be added at the moment. Hope that Healthy Pursuits is correct.
If tags cannot be seen by anybody but internal HubPages use...are they very important? It would seem that unless one was using them to link our hubs together...it may not make that much difference if what you are saying is true. Am I correct in my thinking?

My favorite tip (currently) is to find related blogs on my hub article, post a nice comment, and use the url to my hub on that topic in the URL box for most blogs. Some do not have this facility so I have to think about what my comment is going to be so that it is valuable to the blogger! If I can...

Adding keywords/tags to hubs?It has been a while since I posted a hub, but want to start making them again. I just posted a new hub and I noticed right away they changed some things. I was not asked to enter keywords/tags anywhere like I used to be. I was wondering if they removed that feature, or...

The tags you put in when creating an article... are those HTML META Tags? Google stopped paying attention to those in like 1999, and I don't think any important search engine uses them -at all-Is there any use in filling them in?
