A HubPages-Themed Crossword Puzzle

I thought I'd try something TOTALLY different and see if you like it. This crossword puzzle is all about writing. Writing HubPages, specifically.

Here is the article containing the answers. Leave me feedback to let me know if you like it and I'll post more (or not!).

Note: You'll need to print out the grid portion on a good printer in order to read the numbers. Or, consider it a double-challenge if you can't read the numbers: try to figure out what fits where!

Good luck!
