Welcome to our community! What made you decide to join HubPages?
Hello Lorlie. To answer your question, I always knew I could write from an early age but had no way to do it in a group set up til a close friend of mine on the sportspage we both participate in suggested I check this sight out. I have no regrets, am enjoying the quality others write about, have published a couple of my own hubs (shameless am I not) and have encouraged my wife FloBe to join me on here also where she in just under a week has published 4 articles. There's no place like home (hubpages).
I love to write in my personal journal and have done it almost daily for 15 years. HubPages gives me a new avenue to diversify my writing and I'm really enjoying it!
I was looking for a place to blog about my favourite topic which is primarily religion, in particular Catholic orientated Biblical Apologetics. I'm only an amateur but I guess I just hope folks who read my stuff enjoy it as much as I do writing it!
One of the reasons I joined was to have an outlet for the silent voice within, I have seen other sites but hub pages offered a feedback that is a great resource for beginning and serious writers too. Rather than putting my written words in a box or on a shelf I can share with like minded and absolutely wonderful people , like Lorlie......
I wanted to try out hubpages versus associatedcontent to see which one had the better monthly income with 'residuals'.
It works out pretty much the same monthly $$ 'residuals' if ignore the upfront money for stories from associatedcontent.
Hubpages are more fun to do with the multimedia but if I think I can get upfront money just for writing then I go to associatedcontent.
I am sooooo glad that I joined Hubpages, it has helped me continue doing something that I love during times of low feeling and rejection that people out there do like my work....Joining a fantastic community of freinds with a kindred spirit is just amazing and thank you to every single person who has made me smile x

How do you add a "Join HubPages" icon to my profile page?I've seen some mention that we can get a percentage from new people we get to join but can't find instructions for doing this.

Hi all,I have searched around and can't seem to find a simple answer. How do I post a link on my profile which encourages others to "join" Hubpages? Of course, I would like to post it in such a way that I get "credit" for their joining and writing. I assume I...
