What all things a hub should have to become "hub of the day"?
Relevant subject matter, proper grammar, accurate spelling, easy to follow instructions, interesting and original/informative pictures, and a personalized or unique take on a subject/story. From what I have noticed, most "Hubs of the Day" have been interesting ideas to try (cooking, games, etc.), or they have been how-to or editorial-like reports. I would never write an article to specifically get the hub of the day. It stiffens your writing too much. I would say look at the style, format, and voice of those articles you like to see what you think makes these hubs unique and original. Write out a list, and keep that list handy when writing your next hub. It may gives you a few ideas or some helpful tips as to how to narrow your topic, writing styles, etc. Another idea is to follow the top hubbers to see what kinds of things they are doing...and follow their excellent example. This is what I do when I am having difficulties or need some inspiration.

Do you continue to read hubs of those you follow if they don't comment on your hubs?When you have limited time do you just comment on those who regularly comment on your hubs?

When your Hubber-score, which is the number on your avatar, is 75 or above and the hub in question is 40 or above.

I am sort of disappointed. I try to be active in the site as much as possible, comment on other people's hubs, help out in the forums, add new hubs once every two weeks, participate in the question and answer and my hubscore is slowly decreasing. Any advice from expert Hubbers on how to...

I have no problem with that. There are many alternatives. But clearly the "grammar and punctuation and style" are somewhat sophisticated by "elder" writers here. And it - based on hbscores seems to go over the understanding of some who "proof".It makes little...
