My Hubs Tutorial for Easier Search.
57It was supposed to be my 100th hub.
I got very close to my 100th hub by now. When I am writing this, I have 99 hubs published and it would be just right to celebrate my 2 years on Hubpages with a hub # 100 which will be all about me.
I was planning to write my 100th hub about my life journey through the continents. I wanted to describe HOW we left Soviet Union in 1991 and through what we had to go. It is not much of a story comparing to the cases of people called "dissidents" who had to risk their job careers, their family wellbeing and often times their lives just to try to escape from a socialistic country. We didn't really risk all this, but my story is very typical and interesting too. The bureaucratic insinuations, encounters with racketeers and other episodes will be rather illustrative for the reality of those years.
I also was going to tell a story of ten years of our life in Israel as new comers, and how we went from $6 in my pocket in the moment of landing on the Holy Land to a decent life on a sea shore in our own apartment.
Also I was going to finish a saga of my transplantations over the globe with a story of our landing in a beautiful state of Wisconsin almost ten years ago.
Wouldn't this be a great material to write for my 100th hub?
Then I thought, well, number doesn't matter. It's just a number. After all, 100 hubs is not at all much for 2 years and I could've had 100 hubs some time ago already if I didn't have a habit of deleting old hubs that didn't generate any traffic whatsoever any more, also hubs with a score lower than 60. Yes, I delete certain hubs from time to time. At the same time I can keep a hub with no traffic and a hubscore of 50-54 just because I made some research for it and gathered information that I don't want to lose, like in this hub Food on the Map about geographical names which are also names of foods.
And probably, anyway I will need more than one hub to write about the things I want to write. So....
So, to make it short.
So, to make it short, I will write about my movings over the planet eventually and then I will link it here.
But this hub (a #100 hub for now!) will be just a list of my hubs, a tutorial to make it easier to locate this or another hub of mine if I should send a link to my friends.
This is exactly what got me to the idea of putting a hubcapsule of all my hubs, existing and coming, into one place.
From time to time somebody of my friends or acquaintances would ask me about something and I have written a hub to this topic. So, I would sent a link to the person, but sometimes there are several hubs (like about Israel, or Russian food recipes) and I have to put many links in my e-mail.
In case if I give a link just to my profile page, it will take my friends a lot of time and confusion to find the needed hub browsing through the titles.
I thought, if I make a hubcapsule of a tutorial to my hubs, where I link groups of hubs just like I can see them when I log in to my account, it will make it easier for me and for my friends.
I will send only one link- to this hub and they will pick up what they are interested in.
I consider it a nice idea, so this is my hubcapsule with a so-called tutorial to just some of my hubs.
