I saw that my hub "Tips on Formatting Poetry Books" is published on ToughNickel. Wondering why my hub is on that site as it has nothing to do with saving money.
I was similarly confused when my Hub about podcasts for creative writers was published there. I browsed the site a little and it seems that it's not just about money, but also about careers (some of the categories are self-employment, finding a job, ect.) I figured that my hub was published there because it's related to the career of writing. I suppose that this was the case with yours too.
Toughnickel seems to be a site about anything related to money; business, your job, etc. Hence, this is probably why an article on formatting a poetry book is on there; it's about publishing a book and possibly making money; it's about work, essentially, and business.

Today it is my sad duty to announce that we're retiring Hub of the Day.Site selection is proving to be a more rewarding form of recognition that benefits more Hubbers at once, so it's where our current priorities lie. We don't have time to continue selecting Hubs and maintaining the code base for...

I noticed that hubs in niche sites no longer include the "More by this author" section below the hub. Is this just an oversight or was it a decision to drop it on niche sites?
