Top New Hubbers Of 2011
82
What started as a simple hub, which formally announced new hubbers, has now became a tradition on HubPages. Each year writers' read the work of many new hubbers and vote for the top 100 of that year. This past year has been full of joy and sorrow. Millions still lost their homes, jobs were far and few in between and the news had the audacity to say sells were up, but yet Walm-Mart and Sears are closing over a 100 stores.
We at HubPages lost one of our nearest and dearest friends Earnesthub in October. At times he was controversial but many of us counted him as a friend. His legacy at HubPages will not be forgotten, his hubs still remain in our community. We will miss you.
On the joyful side a 99 year-old man chose to divorce his 96 year-old wife over a 60 year-old love affair. Our troops finally came home after being in Iraq for an Eternity and quite a few of us long time hubbers were banned from the forums either for using our other account and not abiding by the rules or yapping our gums and getting involved with a heated conversation. Happy to report many of us have a wonderful sense of humor and bounce back like troopers!
It is now time for his Royal Highness Website Examiner to bequeath his Royal crown to another new hubber. Are they male or female? The parliament has spoken and votes were cast, the count was endless. Thank you to all who took time to contribute and vote.
Counting down to the number one new hubber. Here are HubPages top hubbers, hand chosen and picked by their peers. You will find that there will be hubbers who joined at the very end of 2010 or the very ending of 2011. Don't get your pants in an uproar should you find that there time on Hubpages does not fall into 365 days or simply put 12 months in a year. All of these hubbers deserve recognition for writing well done!

Honorable Mentions
So many votes so much fun, my work was not completely done. Need I say that these hubbers ran close with others and this year I will not disclose how many votes, but let's just say they need to be mentioned. Should you see a name not spelled correctly please drop me a line and all will be fine. I was so excited to give a gift this New Year's Eve to all of the hubbers that I decided that I would link their hubs next year. In January of course! Happy New Year's and Congratulations to all of the winners. I wonder who they will be in 2012?

Hey AEvans, I guess you don't remember, but will have to look up your own hubs to find out. I don't need to bequeath my Crown, as you put it, because one this hub is about the New Hubbers and that's not a Crown I ever had. As for my Royal Crown for the King of the Forums? I'm not sure I will be giving that up so easily, nor do I think that I will be giving up my other Hubbie Award, as the most likely to get banned from the forums.
I do appreciate your thinking that it was my Crown that New Hubbers would obtain, but it's the wrong Crown. LOL! Congrats to Homesteadbound! Voted up and Awesome! :)
Congratulations to Cindy Murdoch / homesteadbound!!! I was incredibly surprised to even see my name. I am honored and very happy to be following many of the hubbers listed. I'll be sure to work my way through the list and add these wonderful hubbers. Congratulations to all and Happy New Year!!!
Thank you AEvans for taking the time to prepare this :)
Congratulations to every hubber mentioned and a tip of the hat to all active hubbers.
Congrats to Homesteadbound and MissOlive and all the other winners! Even the ones that won twice!! :)
Thank you AEvans for making the change to your hub and putting in the correct Hubber who won it last year. :) Also, thank you for taking the time to compile this list of new hubbers. As usual, you do justice to the New Hubbers of HubPages! :) :D
Wow! I guess I missed this last year! I guess this is a new goal for me! Hoping to "hub it up" this new year, especially since I actually made money this month! I hope you all have an amazing year and make 2012 your best year yet!
Wow.. Thank you! I am very honored to be included amoung such an outstanding collection of writers!
I was scrolling down the list and seeing names of people I follow and respect, and was surprised to see my name at number 31. I am so humbled and encouraged. This made my week!
Hubpages is such a wonderful community. Congratulations to everyone on the list, Homesteadbound, MissOlive, Brittanytodd, Denise Handlon, tammyswallow, David Midtown, PDX Karaoke Guy...man there are so many great names on this list...too many to mention...what a class!
So so many familiar names and I am SO proud of all of them! Thank you for taking the time to put this together :)
Wow ... I don't know what to say ... but thanks. Yet that seems so insufficient. I am not one who cries, but I'm very close right now. I had to wake my husband up to show him.
I am truly honored and humbled because there are sooooo many good writers here. Thank you all (y'all) from the very bottom of my heart!
My feet may not touch the ground for several months!
AEvans - you have me listed as number 60 also. You can delete that one and move someone else to the list. Thank you so much!
Congrats to all, definately deserving of the accolades!
Hey AEvans, I am dropping a link on your hub. I created a forum post in addition. I hope you don't mind. :) http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/90052
wow miss homesteadbound.... and everyone! you know cindy... I think you really do deserve this because you do so much for so many people here. Between your hubluvs and your how-to's ... I am very proud of you and what you have accomplished here.
Such a great list... so many great hubbers. I just wanted to mention that I am on their twice... At number 46 and as an honorable mention. So I guess that means double kudos! Thanks for the mention. Love the list.
I happily..... will share my #15 spot with all the honorable mentions since so many of you helped to make this a great writing year for me...
Congrats to all these hubbers. Sadly, I did not make the list, but I did get my 100th follower tonight, so I have achieved much the past 2 months here at Hubpages.
Hey..one small suggestion.. You could have provided the profile link to the hubbers name.. Which takes to their profile page and assess them also...
This really is kind and generous of you to take the time to accept our nominations, sort through them (with the help of Excel, I guess) and publish them. I am so thrilled to see that all the names of people I nominated appear on this page.
Homesteadbound #1/Cindy Murdoch #60 is so deserving of her number one spot. She works tirelessly, produces top-notch interesting hubs, and is so supportive of so many hubbers. I myself am thrilled and actually shocked to be #18. This is tremendously meaningful since peers selected us.
Again, thanks for compiling this annual list.
~Kristin
Oh my goodness! I can hardly believe it! Thank you so much . . . the number one hubber of the year! I just want to thank everyone and assure you that this will not go to my . . . (What?) . . . excuse me a minute ('Honorable mention'? Are you kidding me? Of all the) . . . I'm sorry, anyway, as I was saying - thank you so much, 'honorable mention' is more than I deserve or expected, thank you all. ('honorable stinking mention', are these people on drugs?!)
Wow! Congrats to everyone! Three cheers for Homesteadbound!
Awesome List! Congrats to Everyone for making to this prestigious list! I consider myself fortunate to have had followed most of them mentioned in this list!
Happy New Year Everyone!
And A Big Congrats to Homesteadbound!
AEvans-you've done a terrific and tireless job here to create this list. Kudos to you.
I was shocked, really, to see my name here. Thank you to all who threw a vote my way. Congratulations to all of the hubbers listed here...it's wonderful to be acknowledged by one's peers.
But, more importantly, congratulations to ALL of the hubbers who strive to write quality material for Hubpages and create such a supportive writing community. My hat goes off to ALL of the members.
I feel so delighted to see this list. There are many wonderful writers I follow and love to read.
Thanks for compiling this list, you have done a remarkable job.
I'm delighted to see the outstanding and prestigious hubbers I nominated on the list.
Congratulations to everyone, you all deserve this recognition of great achievement.
Happy New Year everyone, I'm looking forward to a year filled with plenty of hubs and great comments from my fellow hubbers!
wowowowow...Congratulations to all!!!many of the names there are familiar...was there a nomination?why did i miss it?uh uh...i could have voted for my favorites...
Happy New Year to all the hubbers...and thank you for welcoming me in this wonderful group...
Congrats everyone, and thanks to all who voted for me. #5 isn't so bad, I kinda feel proud and some of my favorite hubbers are there beside me.
Homesteadbound is one of my favorites too.
Happy holidays!
I want to thank the Academy for including me in this, it was an honor to get the honorable mention and my placement at 34. May all our articles go up a notch this year as we all strive to improve.
homesteadbound has been a loyal follower of mine for a long time. She always takes the time to read and make a meaningful comment on my Hubs. I love her smiling face: just makes me feel good. Congrats to her! She deserves this recognition.
I am pleased to be mentioned of course, but also to see some of my friends and favorites in there as well. A personal congrats to Motown.
And to the winner Homesteadbound, and to AEvans for hosting this 'event' which gives lots of people a well deserved mention.
I see many of my favorites on this list! Congratulations to all of the winners. I did not realize that all of you were here for only a year or even less. You have done an amazing job of writing hubs on so many different subjects. Looking forward to reading more!
homesteadbound, congratulations! And, a Happy New Year to all. I was flat out stunned to see my name on this list, and so close to the top! Made my New Year! Thanks, everyone. :D
wow.congratulations everyone. more hubs for 2012! :))
Mark, congrats to you as well, and thanks for the shout out. :D Happy New Year, buddy!
Congratulations to everyone and a happy new year to all.
Homesteadbound Cindy is a great hubber and I have been following her excellent work since I joined hubpages.
It's very encouraging to be on this list, with such a talented and great group of people.
Just to be included, with so many of my favorite hubbers is an honour indeed.
Thank you Aevans and everyone for putting this all together. Well done.
I had no idea this hub existed until I saw it passing in the feed/stream.
Voted up and shared.
Congratulations to homesteadbound (Cindy)! It is well deserved - along with the other top hubbers of 2011!
Well done to all! Everyone! What an incredible year 2011 was!
Congratulations Homesteadbound, and to everyone else as well.
Woo-hoo! I made the list! Thanks to anyone that voted for me and thanks AEvans for compiling the list. Also, congrats to Homesteadbound for the big win!!!
What a great list with so many of my favorites on it! Congratulations to Homesteadbound for the well-deserved win. And thanks for including me in the honorable mentions. What a nice surprise. Happy New Year, everyone!
Thank you AEvans for all your hard work putting this together. I don't know who mentioned me but I thank them and all who follow me. Hubpages has been a lifeline for me the last few months. Hoomesteadbound has been very supportive reading and commenting on my hubs I am glad she made hubber of the year she sincerely deserves it. As to all the other hubbers here on hubpages thank you for taking the time to read my writings
Congratulations to ALL! I see many hubbers I already follow. I need to check into those whom I have not had the pleasure yet to read!! Happy New Year, Everyone! :-)
Congrats and thanks to everyone! And special thanks to you AEvans. HP is a powerhouse of writing talent and the Top New Hubbers list is proof of it.
Congrats to homesteadbound! Woohoo!! These are all amazing hubbers and an amazing community!!! Here's to many more Hubbers and Hubs in 2012! :) Happy New Year!
They are all good hubbers. I recognize most of them.
Great effort AE, Happy New Year to you and yours!!!

Best wishes to everyone in 2012!!!!!! Congrats Homestead!!
Congratulations to homesteadbound and all the others Hubbers. AEvans, you worked hard on this and I thank you for this impressive list of hard working, talented Hubbers.
So glad that several of my nominees made the list!
Wow...congrats to homestead bound - she does indeed deserve this honor - I can't believe that I made this list of so many awesome writers - it is indeed a great honor to be included! It is great to see so many that I follow on this great list, as well!
Woo Hoo!!! So great of you to put this list together! So, first of all congratulations to everyone on the list, especially to Cindy Murdoch / homesteadbound!! Secondly, as I was scanning the list I was thinking that I was so happy to know some of the names on it as I am new here--and then I saw my name as well--so I must say that I feel awestruck and extremely honored! I was not even aware of how all this gets done or voted on--so maybe next year I can figure it out??
Thank you!
Audrey
Thanks everyone! What an honor, and I am having so much fun. Happy New Year!
Wow! Talk about a reading list. This is great. I have read many on the list and they never dissapoint. I can't wait to read the rest. Congrads to all! Totally beautiful.
Congratulations - I follow many of you and you guys are awesome! Happy New Year:)
Congrats Homestead, although it would be hard for me not to put Cardisa right beside you as number one!
Congrats Homesteadbound on your much deserved recognition by the hubpage community. Missolive is also a fantastic writer. Many writers on this list are definitely showing a lot of heart in their hubpages. There are still many that I have not come across. I am excited to visit and congratulate those hubbers as well. This is a great milestone. I think you guys need to pat yourselves for a job well done. Looking forward to many more great hubs from my fellow awesome hubbers. Best wishes for the new year.
AEvans - Thank you for sharing this with the community. Its so important to recognize talented hubbers. Thank you again for sharing this hub. Its a great source of motivation for other hubbers.
Congratulations Homesteadbound for being bestowed the golden crown, you so deserve it. I am honored to be amongst the Top 100 chosen for 2011. Just to think that out of 250,000.00 or more hubbers to be in amongst the Top 100 that is simply amazing.
I thank you all for voting me in, you are all so wonderful and talented scribes. May we all continue to express ourselves through 2012 and write, write and write some more. My Muse awaits me with my Quill he is waving in front of my nose. I am getting ready to lay some black down on white real soon.
First I have to digest all the goodies I ate over the Holidays:-)) Peace and blessing to you all from the Saddle. Happy New Year 2012
Congratulations to all of you mentioned, I look forward to reading some of your work and learning some tricks of the trade.
Congratulations to the top 100 and especially Homesteadbound for winning.
By the way, my name is R-o-b-i-s-o-n, not Robinson. It's such a common mistake that I usually don't bother correcting people, but since you did ask to be notified of errors, I thought I'd mention it.
Congratulations to all the Hubbers who made the top 100. Quite an accomplishment.
Congratulations especially to Kathleen Cochran, molometer, ThoughtSandwiches Frank Atanacio, WDCurry, Gypsy Rose Lee, PDX, Keneth Avery, Jools99, and Audrey Howitt.
What a way to start the New Year! :)
Congratulations to Homesteadbound and MissOlive! They are certainly deserving. Just to know that many of my fellow hubbers found me worthy to make it in the top 20 is humbling! Beautiful!
[Before reading]
Oh hey! "The Top New Hubbers of 2011", I wonder who made the list. I know I didn't, but hey it's all fun
[After reading]
#45... Oh my Gosh! I made the List! Yey! "I'd like to thank the Academy for this great honor!" :)
Congratulations to the Hubbers who made the top 100 list, and to the honorable mentions! In a way we are all winners! Keep up the great work, and I hope to read more fresh talent in 2012, Happy New Year!
Congrats to all of you. Many of you are already in my follow list. I will be keeping an eye on your hubs too!
Whoa, I didn't even know I was nominated. Hey, I'm pleased as punch. Thanks to whoever nominated me and voted, too. What a great way to start out the new year. AND today I will hit 100K views! WOOT! Thanks, Julianna. Hugs and love to you. Laura
Congratulations to the 100 and especially those I have been following. I hope to get to know the rest of you soon.
Congratulations to everyone named & those that have contributed wonderful hubs & insightful information, but are not named in this hub.
THANK YOU to whomever nominated me! I had no idea! =]
Congrats to homesteadbound & MissOlive!!
Here's to another year of HP! Happy New Year, everyone!
Congratulations to all of you. I know some of these hubbers and I'm sure everyone nominated is well deserving of the rankings.
wow! Fantastic! Wishing you all the best
I'm thrilled and honored. Congratulations to all on the top new hubbers of 2011 list and honorable mentions as well. Good Luck to all for 2012 & "Happy New Year!!"
Hubpages is a sensational place to meet people & to author your written works. As a new hubpages author what stood out to me most at the very tail end of 2011 was how people communicate here. I was blown away at the integrity of this social community, how the staff help others, how the Hubpages Elite help new comers, and how people are so kind to one another for the most part.
Making communications with real people is my true intention on here as a writer, & is what matters most to me on hubpages.
I'm definitely happy to see that so many people have become successful here in their writing as well as myself, but I just love the connections we're all making with one another much more. Reading so many hubs in just 4 months has changed my entire outlook on digital life altogether.
We do have hope after all in a digital sense or should I say on the web, this is my overall conclusion and 2012 is going to be the year I redefine myself both digitally & in the real world thanks to hubpages.
I would like to say thanks for writing such a great hub @ AEvans, and for sharing it with us all, but most of all I wanna thank all the hubpages staff, developers, owners, and hubpages Elite for giving it their all to make such a powerful network happen.
Last but not least I thank all of my fellow hubbers for giving little ole me a chance, to get a single message across these digital wires, to possibly make a difference somewhere else. Much love, joy, peace & blessing to all for 2012.
If you're going to put me on this list at least spell my name right..
. . . yeh, well, neither the 'M' nor the 'S' in my name are capitalized - get it right or I'll sue!
(or do I not count because I'm only an 'honorable mention' - you people make me sick)
AFvans: As someone who's name is not spelled right.. I would just like to thank you for spending the time to put this list together as I recognized the hard work that you have put into this hub. I think this is a great tribute to writers in general and a wonderful way to really show the character of so many talented people on the list or as honorable mentions. There is not need to correct my name... I am happy with it just the way it appears! again... thank you for the honor and the surprise.
Congrats to everyone and thanks for including me on the list of top new Hubbers.
Dave, I hope all recognize my own (more sarcastic) remarks were an attempt at expressing the same sentiment you expressed more directly. Thanks to any who suggested my name be included at all and big thanks to AEvans for putting this all together.
I failed to mention this earlier & I apologize...
Thank you, AE, for putting this together & working hard to compile recommendations/votes & this hub!
Wow. I am so honored to be on this list! I am so happy that Cindy got the #1 spot and also seeing all of the other hubbers that I voted for on this list! Thank you, AEvans. This is such a great idea and a wonderful hub. Thank you for sharing. Congrats to everyone who is on the list and I can't wait to check out the ones I haven't been acquainted with. Mahalo to everyone who voted.
What an idiotic thing for Frank to say. You will find my name listed all over hubpages in comments or referenced in hubs where I am FloraBreenRobinson or FloraBreen (Breen is a middle name only, not part of my first name) and no comment at all from me about the mistake. Other times like I did here, I just gently corrected the mistake from within a comment about the hub itself in general.
What a tribute! Hope I can make the list next year. I found you on twitter so I will also follow you there.
Congrats on everybody who made it to the list. You guys inspires me to create even more interesting hubs in the future.
Congratulations to the 100 and to the honorable mentions. I'm glad to see that some of the hubbers I'm following are listed in here. I'm happy for you guys. Happy New Year!
i appreciate being on this list, but I'm not sure i'm a new hubber. Even though I've written 90% of my hubs and gained 95% of my followers in 2011, I actually wrote my first hub in July of 2010.
Julianna,
Thank you for working countless hours during the holiday season to pull this all together. Knowing that this all started as a fun, simple list . . . it is so cool that is has become something that hubbers are very passionate about. You've created a "really important monster" here. I cannot tell you how honored I am to be on the list. As this endeavor continues to grow and becomes even more difficult to pull together, I look forward to assisting you in the years to come. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done!
Sharyn
I forgot to say thanks for all your work, Julianna! I can only imagine the time this hub must have taken... and so close to the holidays, to boot. Anyway, it's a fantastic contribution to the community and I know we all really appreciate it. Happy new year to you.
Here I am up late again. I was asleep but woke up and can't get back to sleep. I want everyone to read Sunshine's 100th hub and look very carefully at Frank's comment to her. She thought he was being funny, but now we can see he was dead serious. If I wanted to lose every supporter I ever had here on hubpages and every supporter I might have had on this site, I would make exactly the comments he has made. He sounds like he thinks he is a better writer than Shakespeare and how dare he be mentioned among mere mortals...
I wish I hadn't made any comment at all until after he wrote his comment. I would have left my name spelled incorrectly like it is most of the time. I've even been called Flora robertson before. Really.
This is a hub about encouraging people to read the names on this list, Frank. It is a compliment to be on this page. It says, hey, check out these writers.
But your comment says go to hell people. All I care about is me.
Congratulations to all who made it to the list! Hope I will make it to the list this year too.
Lovely read and Best Wishes to all of them. I know quite a few and enjoy reading their Hubs.
RIP Earnesthub.
Regards, Elena.
Wow! This list gets better every time I check it! LOL
Thanks so much for all the hard work AEvans! This looks like it must have been a huge job that you did for all of us...I appreciate that!
Congrats to everyone!!
Congratulations to everyone who is mentioned on this hub! I had no clue I was on this list until I received a lovely email from a fellow hubber, I'm dead chuffed!
What an awesome list of hubbers - so excited to be on it! Thanks to everyone who voted for me and an even bigger thank you to AEvans for all her hard work putting this hub together!
Congrats to homesteadbound and missolive for their well deserving #1 and #2 rankings!
Congrats to everyone, but where's Ladyjane1???
Congratulations to Cindy Murdoch! She is an excellent writer and a wonderful person..my daughter-in-law! I'm proud of you! Keep up the good work.
I am honored to be on this list and pleased to be in the top 50 although I'm totally niche!
Thank you AEvans..This had to be such a hard task with so many great writers..I can't imagine..I am so humbled and honored to be mentioned..Thank you so much. I feel very blessed to be on hubs with so many talented, beautiful, and wonderful people.
Congrats to Homesteadbound!
Wishing everyone a great New Year!
Sunnie
What a great start to this brand New Year and I am so honoured and humbled to be mentioned. The hard work put into creating this list is appreciated.
HubPages is such a warm and caring community which has enriched my life in so many ways.
A big massive well done to Homesteadbound.
Take care to all,
Eddy.
I'm so pleased and honored to be #24 on the list! -- and I also made the honorable mentions! :)
Thanks so much for your hard work and to all the hubbers who helped put me on the list! Thank you all!
The HubPages community has become a treasured part of my life in the last year. Congratulations to everyone mentioned.
Hi AEvans ... I nearly missed this! New hubber VendettaVixen was kind enough to point out that I had actually made the list. I didn't believe her until she sent me the link.
At number 100 I feel immensely privileged to have made the list at all in my first year on HP and I'm very grateful for all your hard work that went into compiling it.
It is a real boost especially to find that I am on there with so many of HP's most experienced and prolific writers, many of whom I follow.
To Homesteadbound ... well done ... you are a worthy winner.
I wish you, AEvans and all of my fellow listees and Honourable Mentions a very happy and industrious 2012
AEvans: Thanks for taking on this monumental task. What a way to spend the holidays for the benefit of the rest of us. Honored to be included and glad the writer I voted for made honorable mention. I told her she'd be great at this!!! You know who you are!
Pretty impressive list. Congratulations to all that were lucky enough to make it in the top 100. :)
I am with missolive: I will work my way through the list and make sure to read hubs by hubbers on the list that I am not already following.
This is a gracious and honorable thing you do. Thank you for the list. I see quite a few names in there that are unknown to me. I'll have to check them out. Happy New Year!
Your welcome AEvans, you did a fantastic job and are to be commended for your great effort. The task before you was huge 600 emails, wow. Thank you for a job well done.
I was going to ask those commenting that they were going to check-out those hubbers who made the list, to please be sure to check-out the 'honorable mentions' as well. I was thinking that I did pretty well making the 'honorable mention' list because I've only been here 4 months, have less than 50 hubs, and only 66 followers so I was comfortable asking all to view the 'honorable mention's' hubs as well - then I checked homesteadbound & missolive's stats . . . they haven't been here any longer than I have but with far more followers. So, what an accomplishment - congratulations to those at the top.
(but still, do get around to checking-out us 'honorable mention' folks as well, please)
AEvans, you are a sweetheart - I count it a great privilege to have you championing my work, thank you so much.
Wow! I am so honoured to be on this list.
Thank you for all your hard work and a big thank you to everyone for voting for me.
Congratulations Homesteadbound and everyone!
What a fantastic start to the year, I am just blown away!
Happy New Year to you all!
Im in love with your picture hubs movie master!
So many awesome hubbers! Thanks for putting this list together, voted up! :D
Also, super mega congrats to Homesteadbound!
Great happy hub! And congratulations to homesteadbound, very well-deserved. :)
It seems like I've been missing a lot of things for the past few months here on HP. I didn't know about this voting and wasn't able to vote. Anyway, congrats to all the top new hubbers!:)

Thank you for putting this hub together. HubPages has felt like home to me from day one. I consider myself so lucky to be part of this amazing community. I was really surprised to find my name on this list and am grateful yet again to this environment that encourages writers to strive for more in such a positive way. I never want to leave. Thank you to the hubbers that voted for me. Congratulations to all of the writers on this list and to any great hubbers out there that somehow didn't make it.
~voted up and interesting~
I found your list through a search engine and not through Hubpages. Haha! So honored to be on your list and your score is very impressive. I don't think my contribution to Hubpages is that great but that is because I need to save my best stuff for websites. Oh! I had better not give too much good info away ..LOL!
This is a lovely way of getting names out there. You touch my heart. I have considered you a friend and in your heart, you speak volumes about these hubbers. Many blessings to you.
Congrats, homesteadbound! what a great hubber! While I had of course kept my fingers crossed for a mention on this list, I didn't expect it, as I do see a ton of great hubbers I have read over the past 5 months I've been on here. I guess it should just give me motivation to work harder and do better! I hope I can! Nice hub!
Congratuations to Cindy (homesteadbound) for being No 1 on this list! You are such a help, an inspiration, and a wonderful supporter to, and of, us all.
Ms Olive, Cardisa, Escobana, you are truly worthy of being in the top 10.
It is such an honour and an inspiration for me to be on this list. My sincere thanks to all of you who voted for me.
Thank you AEvans for compiling this list - a huge job that is so appreciated.
Best Wishes and many Blessings to you all!
Sinerely, Marilyn

Congratulations to all the worthy Hubbers!
Hello AE I was just wondering if my previous name Saddlerider1 above can be replaced with my current writers name Vincent Moore? or must I remain in the Top 100 as the Saddlerider1? or maybe you can place in brackets Vincent, he would be pleased to share the limelight:-)
Thank you AEvans you are so kind. Vincent gives you a hug and tickles you with his Quill, I can hear you giggle
now:-))
Great list. I look forward to checking them all out.
Had to stop by and check out the picks for 2011 - some great hubbers here! Thanks for another wonderful tribute to so many fabulous writers.
Congratulations to all!
I am delighted to be 'honourably mentioned' amongst this elite group of outstanding writers. It is a true honour and I am extremely pleased. Thank you all so much and thank you AEvans for listing me up here. Much appreciated!
