But those last few months were really pretty awful. My complete tenure at Squidoo was perhaps a year and a half long. ![]() It was only towards the very end, when I discovered that they were actually in the process of shutting down, that I seriously considered giving up the community concept and going out entirely on my own. I was an enthusiastic participant in their classes and my own blog was beginning to build a small following. But I wasn’t serious…and it was more than a year later when I actually did become serious, and when I finally finished that first article. But one day when I had a little time, I looked it up and read some about learning to blog there and more on a whim than anything I setup an account there and began to write my first article. At first I had no idea what Squidoo even was. Another reason why was because I’d run across several articles written by people that had the word Squidoo in their link while I was researching buying an outdoor fountain for our yard.

So I picked Squidoo…and they were great…but when I was forced to switch to HubPages after Squidoo closed down, I realized that I actually preferred HubPages and that I would have been better off picking them instead. ![]() Plus that I thought they wanted much more private information than they actually ended up needing. I was highly skeptical of anything online at that point in time and I didn’t want to do that. I’m not 100% certain why I picked Squidoo…but I think it may be because I wanted to learn about earning income too and HubPages required users to upload their personal tax information in order to earn income. I looked at both HubPages and Squidoo when I was considering becoming a new blogger. I can wholeheartedly recommend joining a community like HubPages if you’re really interested in learning to blog because there’s a lot to learn at first and HubPages is excellent at making that process fun instead of frustrating. HubPages is a really great community of bloggers who share a hosting source ( HubPages) as well as tons of knowledge and ideas, all while providing support for each other as people learn all about blogging and possibly even earning income through blogging. Occasionally I still write articles for HubPages. ![]() HubPages is Blogging Community Where I Have Some of My Early Articles
