What are the rules surrounding re-posting your own hub articles onto your own blog?

You own the articles but if you post the same content on your blog then HubPages will mark your hubs as duplicate content (because they now appear somewhere else on the web). It does not matter if you have written it or not, duplicate = duplicate. You can write a short text to persuade people to read your hub and then link to it, that's perfectly fine if you want to generate more traffic.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
