Hubpages clean up, have you done it yet?
I am going to be putting my toes back into the HP's water and with that I am noticing I have some cleaning up to do as well as some sprucing up. How many of you have gone through with the changes to HP's and made some drastic changes to your account and hubs?
Me too! I'm glad to be back writing and seeing people here I haven't in a long time. I'm having some fun right now with music Hubs but am definitely doing some housekeeping. Particularly on Hubs that I want to do better than they are. Some I won't touch, maybe could, but if it ain't broke, right?
It's definitely a good idea to update at the very least but I've made/am making some drastic changes as well. I met up with some old friends who have been very helpful, as always, with ideas on how to get this done.
Glad to see you back here at the pool. :-)
Recently one of my hubs got a traffic boost. It now regularly does over 5k hits a day and that prompted me to start working at it again. I have a handful of satellite accounts that I use for niche topics and I've been working on fixing up the hubs that I have on this (my main account). I've deleted several and am now working on revamping a bunch of my hubs.
I'm sincerely debating making a hub just to list the revamped hubs so that my followers can see them, but I think I'm just going to share them out to my followers as I fix them up.
I'm working on it, but still have a loooong way to go . Of the approximately 200 hubs I have active at the moment, about....1/3, maybe 1/2 are up to both mine and Hubpages' current standards. Then there's the 260+ that are sitting unpublished, just waiting for me to get my act together to do major rewriting and rebuilding with them. Whew. If the revisions will get my earnings back up anywhere close to what they were pre-Panda/farmer/etc then it'll all be worth the headache.

I read in today's blog about the Automated Grammar and Spelling Checker coming in September.I like the idea of correcting errors in comments. Many times I had to delete comments that were written with terrible misspellings and very bad grammar so as not to lose search engine ranking, But I'm...

There has been a lot of discussion in the last few days about HP changing the rules and people being un-featured or even un-published for spam and over promotional activity. So I just want to add my thoughts......Whether people (writers) like it or not most of their traffic will be coming from...

As I plow through the lenses to become hubs, two of them I edited do not show the change date of the edit although the updates are visible. Since I am using the date to keep track of the edited lenses, I keep re-editing them but the original date never changes. Is this an issue on HubPages or a...

Do any of you have people following you, but they have not writen any hubs, yet these people...have some 5-50 people following them? And, do you think that it is possible that these people may copy hubs and try to pass them on as their own?
