GA Anderson

Writing for the Daily Constitutional, my contributions focus on U. S. political and social issues, but the Op-ed articles that emanate from the Curmudgeon's desk generally address human nature and societal behavior topics.

Caveat: "Seeing it does not make it real, and reading it does not make it true. Use a little common-sense and trust your instincts."

As an online content writer, I generally write topics of my own  choosing. I also do topic-specific writing requests for website  content and promotions.

HubPages SEO and Hub Formatting and Writing Tips

When I first came to HubPages, many of the experienced Hubbers here were so helpful that it made my learning curve a lot easier than it would have been without their help.

So to continue that spririt I have also written a few hubs about formatting and technical tips that I hope will help new members of the Hubpages community avoid some of the early  frustration of learning how things are done.

I wouldn't dare to presume that I could offer style and technical SEO advice - I am not an expert at either, but I can offer some help for the non-technical stuff.

Here are some basics you might find helpful

Other areas of interest that I write for  personal pleasure include;

Political and social issues, and government waste and abuse commentaries:

"Of course I trust my political representatives - just not with my wallet or liberties." - GAW

• See the Curmudgeon - on Politics
 

Another personal favorite is a continuing series of stories about my childhood  experiences growing up with a grandfather that was politically incorrect decades before the term was ever coined.

He was a heavy-equipment bulldozer owner/operator, an avid hunter and gun enthusiast, and to a young 6-year old boy he was 10-feet tall and my hero.

Penning these short stories about my summers, and hunting trips with Pop Cliff has been a wonderful way to relive those memorable times. Every young boy should be lucky enough to have a Pop Cliff to grow up with. Did you?

"From a motorized kid's tractor, to my first rifle, to week-long bear hunting trips - life was good!

Recent new endeavors

As  an avid life-long outdoor tent camper -an activity I still enjoy, I  also write camping-related articles, and maintain a camping website, Campingwithgus.com,  with a focus on tent camping tips, guides, and camping gear resources.

With over 50 years of camping experience, (see the Growing Up With Pop Cliff series  to see how my life of tent camping started), I have probably committed  most of the rookie mistakes you could think of, and also learned from  them. So it might be possible there is a tidbit or two there for you.

A recent new endeavor, Newhottoyschristmas.com,   is about the newest top hot toys for Christmas. The foundation being  the annual "Top New Toys for Christmas lists that major retailers  release each year. Along with new toy reviews, action video demos, and  researched discount shopping links.

And just for fun...

For just plain fun, I maintain  a free blog at Weebly.com to host most of my political rants and  tirades. Rated "adult" purely because I like colorful language, you can  get a little taste at: G.A. Anderson on weebly.

Personal Information:

Greetings from Maryland's Eastern Shore, U.S.A. I am technically old as dirt, but feel just short of middle-age. I am so handsome that women stare at me in public places, but also humble enough to smile and nod thank you, I have a wonderful wife and family, and my kid's are doing great. They have to, I made them sign contracts when they were six, promising to support my wife and I. The details of said support requiring no less than eleven single-spaced pages.

I think Hubpages is a great writing platform that allows me to write articles that make $1000's of dollars per day, or ones that tell all the knuckleheads in the world where to go, and how to get there. These are just as enjoyable as the money makers - because there are a lot of knuckleheads that need my attention.
