Been over 22 hours, still I've received no confirmation as to whether my article is featured or not!
Wait for another 24 hours, then you'll know the status of your story.
Look to the right of the article on the stats page. If you can see a solid black circle with a white H on it, then it is featured. Scroll down the page to see a key showing the various symbols.
Edit: looked at your article. There are a couple of issues. You can't use watermarked and copyright images - see the relevant article in the Learning Center. Also, don't put whole sentences in subtitle headings.
You might want to make the writing less 'bloggy' too. You are writing to inform so just include a little personal p.o.v.
I cannot thank you enough, honestly! I'll improve surely!

I just completed my first year on hubpages. Until recently, I haven't had any issues getting my hubs featured. Just a few tweaks coming from Squidoo and all was well, but recently with every hub I edit, I get a lovely e-mail from HQ saying, "Your hub could be featured . ....
