Hey, YourHub gang...

...watch your cutting and pasting. If you write your articles in Word and then paste them into YourHub (which is not a bad idea by any means), take a moment to double check your story - particularly the very first sentence.

There is a good chance you'll see something that looks like this:

Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Some sort of code is showing up as a result of the transfer process. It's not harmful or anything, but it looks kind of bad - particularly when your story is showing up in the featured section in a particular hub. I don't know about you - if I see an interesting headline but the lede is "Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-USX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4," I usually don't click over to the story.

Anyhow...just something to keep your eye on. Thanks!
