Congrats MagKaye . I'm fairly new on this site and after 5 hubs I had one chosen as Editor's Choice. I thought there might be a protocol to thank HP or in some way acknowledge it, but several people I asked said they didn't know how to contact HP to thank or if it was even expected. So I wrote it on my profile for want of a better place to put it, then added it to the comments of the chosen hub. I just wanted them to know I appreciated it and am honored. I hope by doing that I didn't jeopardize chances of another being chosen! lol
I also don't know how hubs are chosen. Since I'm so new here, I assumed it was random or maybe someone happened along the hub and nominated it.
I had no idea you could nominate yourself. Whatever must HP think when they see nominations with the hubber's own name on it! I would think that nominating yourself kind of takes away from the element of surprise and sheer act of being chosen. I don't think the specialness is there when you nominate yourself.
I'm glad to have been chosen and I do appreciate it. Now I wonder if I can top it or is it all downhill from here.
