HubNuggets Are Brain Food! Get 'Em While They're Hot!!
74Got Nuggets?
You Heard It Here First!
That's right! Recent studies have shown that a weekly dose of HubNuggets can make you smarter. Of course, your HubNugget team didn't need a study to tell them that. Each and every week, we look at hundres of hubs (nearly 1500 this week, alone!) to seek out the best of the best; and boy do we feel smart after reading all of that great content!
If you want to feel as smart as we do, read this week's contenders. There are 10 potential HubNuggets below, just waiting to be gobbled up. You just might learn something new from each of them. But remember, to get the full benefit, you have to vote!
Meet The HubNugget Team
Shirley Anderson is definitely our MVP. She is a seasoned pro, and is often seen giving valuable advice to new hubbers and aspiring freelancers. If she has something to say, you had better listen!
ProCW is our beloved graphics guy and brilliant playwright. He helps to choose potential HubNuggets, write some of the hubs and promote HubNuggets in the community. I don't know what we'd do without him!
B.T. Evilpants is...well, my name kind of says it all. But I have promised to behave myself while on HubNugget duty.
Patty Inglish, MS is a talented and prolific hubber, who knows quality when she sees it. She is, afterall, a partner in many of my business ventures!
Ripplemaker has graciously agreed to be our angelic cheerleader. Each week, Ripplemaker pops into the hubs and forums to offer up her fun encouragement and cheer everyone on.
What Is A HubNugget?
To be eligible for HubNugget consideration, you must have joined hubpages within the last 60 days, and have an author score of 75 or above. Your hub must have been published within the last 7 days, and have a hub score of 55 or above. That's it!
Now you may be asking how you can achieve all of that when you're still learning your way around here. Excellent question! If you recently joined us, then you're halfway there. If you haven't, why not go ahead and join now? It's free, and it only takes a few minutes.
Now about those scores. Build yourself a hub with well written, original content. Next, add a few relevant photos. You can even add a video, or news feed if you like. Move your capsules around to create an attractive layout, and preview your handy work. Now all that's left to do is hit that "publish" button, and watch your score rise. Your friends at HubNugget Central will do the rest!

Hard to decide between all that good articles. Can i vote for all of them? LOL.
Well I will need more experience, so that means that have to be coming several times for to start my own.
correosdelbosque, I see you just joined! That's an excellent start. When I first joined here, I found the easiest way to learn was to read a lot of hubs, before I published my own. These Nuggets would be a good place to start your reading, but make sure you come back and vote!
Voted! Now I need to start writing, so I can get this dang score up.
Woohoo! Up to 64 votes. We should be able to easily make it to 100 before Wednesday!
Vote, vote, vote!
Great hub on John Mayer! So many artists are so dated they come and go with the trends. But John is a real muscian who can span several generations.
Man, I realllly like that Creepy Fish Hub.
Me too, Hup. I wouldn't want to meet any of them, though!
My creepy fish hub is up to 785 veiws in 7 days, and 42 comments! I really appreciate the traffic you have sent my way and the fans I have gained as a result! I just wanted to thank you again. :)
