    What does it mean if a hub is "in the spotlight"?

    It means some of yours hub doing well on hubpages so they  spotlight them.

    In the edit profile mode you can provide the URL of three Hubs to show in the showcase or spotlight, whatever name you may call,  but these hubs must contain an image of minimum 200 x 150 pixel. HP can show more than three Hubs also in spotlight at its sole discretion.

      Thanks for your response, but I didn't provide any URL to my hub to showcase it, that's why I was wondering how it was chosen.

    You can spotlight 6 hubs (I'm not sure why WQIndia says 3) by editing your profile and selecting them from a drop-down menu to appear in the rotating slideshow (Carousel) of images and titles (the spotlight) on your profile.

    Do not confuse hubs you spotlight (put in the spotlight) with featured hubs. Many hubs can be featured, and that is determined by the HubPages evaluation process.

    The difference between hubs you put in the spotlight (carousel) and featured hubs is explained here: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/Featured-Hubs

      Sir, Though 6 columns are provided to give URL addresses, yet the edit section asks to provide only 3 hub URL's. I provided 6 URL's and all are showcased in spotlight. I don't reason for ambiguity.

      Thanks Sid, I didn't choose my hub to be in the spotlight, that's why I'm wondering how it got there. This is the first time I have seen this in my profile page. Could it have automatically been put there?

      Message at HP edit profile reads as under:
      Select up to 3 Hubs to showcase at the top of your profile. These Hubs must include a photo that is at least 200x150 pixels. Sorry for repeating as I want to learn only.

      I emailed Simone about this issue and she updated this Learning Center entry: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/choosing-a-username See #4  for the skinny on the Spotlight Carousel. If U don't choose hubs for the Carousel, your most recent hub show.

      Sid, I really appreciate that you checked into this. It happened right after I published a new hub yesterday.

    I totally agree with Sid on this question. His answer is dead on.

      Thanks Jeff, however like I wrote back to Sid, I didn't choose anything to do this, so I'm not sure how it happened.  I'm glad it did, makes my profile page look much better. I will look into that menu and check if I did something.
