My First 50 Hubs
71My Hub Journal Part I
After almost seven months here in HubPages, I have finally reached the-almost 100 hubs. In fact, this is my 99th hub.
Listed below, by categories, are 50 of my hubs (with short descriptions) that I have written in these past seven months. I wanted to compile these hubs in one or two general hubs that will be like a journal for me. In the future, I hope to summarize my next 100 hubs in another hub journal.
