This morning I made a very minor change to one of my hubs. I simply added a comment capsule because it was missing one and I really thought that given the topic, a comment section could help readers share personal experiences. I made no other changes at all.

The hub is only a week old and was doing pretty well, I thought... could this drop be a mistake? I really appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much.

Every time I hop hubs my hubber score plummets. I would think that the time and care I put into this would improve my score. Is this a fluke or am I not doing a good job when hopping so my score falls?

I have just been awarded my 1 year accolade here on hubpages and I am gong to create a Hub with the best Hubs for new Hubbers. I already have a few in mind but am looking for suggestions. You are welocme to include your own Hubs or Hubs by other Hubbers which have helped you.
