I'm having trouble with my hub karma...maybe it just takes time. I went back through all my old hubs and used the link suggestor to add links to other hubs. My hub karma started at 25...it went up to 26 after adding links to all my hubs.My hubscore temporarily went up two points, but went back to normal a couple hours later.
You could try emailing hubpages directly and asking them why.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
