My armadillo hub flunked. Another armadillo hub succeeded and is now featured.
Would you like to see what is featured?
I would like to talk about that.
How do you know that it is featured? Some people set their profiles to show hubs that are not featured.
And really I would much rather you didn't draw attention to certain parts of HP.
You have a point.
I am wandering around. Does his poem still exist?
OK. Finally closed. Fact that I did not link to that should be sufficient. LOL
I am just so tired...
Oh, what the hell... I need to post this final rant to get it out of my system.
My CW armadillo hub was flunked by HP and wasn't featured. It is now my #1 post in both Views and Likes on Bubblews. The critter has made me $3.58 so far.
Meanwhile, according to the author, HP featured this CW armadillo masterpiece without a problem. Here it is... http://poeticfailosophy.hubpages.com/hu … llo-Recipy

@HP I am still fond of you.
Keep that traffic coming in!

And I realise that some will copy and paste, but it might weed out some of the really bad ones.At the very least, a notice...

I've reviewed the instructions and have been declined again. I joined hubpages in January of 2013, and wrote 4 hubs. In the last few days I have written 6 more hubs. All of my hubs are featured and I have ten total. I hoped that 10 featured hubs would be enough. I am in the...

Today, the article I get the most views per week and month was un-featured because of traffic. Pretty soon all of my articles will be un-featured because of traffic. What is the solution, I market them, tweet them, etc and they continue to remain this way. Going in and editing these articles does...

It has been a long time since I published here, and I have forgotten the process.I have a recently published hub, (5 days ago), that exited pending with that Dreaded Black Circle - Not Featured - Quality. (I do have other Featured hubs)I don't see any indicators of why, or what to fix, and I don't...

Currently a hub gets featured if it scores 6 or above overall (correct?). Although I understand some of the reasoning behind not showing detailed QAP scores, I think that splitting 'featured' into two:Featured (with a QAP score between six and eight)Featured (with a QAP score eight or over)would...
