for now. At the moment at 100% your vote will only be worth 1 cent. Once it gets below 80 it is not worth much anyway. Once you build up your steem power (and you can only do that after 7 days when you can claim your rewards) your vote is worth more, so you can afford to go below 80 (but it is best not to). Once you have enough steem power (I think it is 500) you get a slider so you can vote less than 100% of your voting power which means you can vote more often. I am still short of this magic power, but hope to get there in the next month or so

It sounds complicated, but you'll get there.

I'm sure I will get the hang of it. Thanks for all the support

Not sure if you saw my little post about you: https://steemit.com/introduction/@felt.buzz/yay-my-friend-adogaday-has-come-back-to-steemit

@mariannewest runs the #freewrite challenge (basically you just churn out whatever comes into your head for 5 minutes based on a daily prompt). She suggested you might want to 'lend' us one of your pieces of art as a prompt. That would get you more exposure. She is really nice, and supportive of a lot of people.
