You log in using steemconnect. After that you go to services and click manual curation. Here you upvote some other steemers posts, then it puts your most recent post up for others to upvote.

Do I create a new user/pass for the site?

I didnt...I always use SteemConnect. It should have the option under the sign in boxes to choose steemconnect. You will use SteemConnect for a lot of sister sites to steemit.

When you sign in using SteemConnect it connects your Steem account to that site but not your personal information.

OK I'm in. Just upvoted 5 articles. Thanks again for all your help.

No problem. Try to upvote at least 5 people a day. That puts more time and points towards people upvoting you every day.

I have been trying since Thursday to access the site, still says Under maintenance! check back 24 hours later.

It's been 48 hours at least, is the site no longer available. I found another site to use instead.

I now have my own referral link too! https://steemfollower.com/?r=14290

Yup!

Now says Under maintenance! Expected time 5 days. check back 2018-03-15

Seriously??? another 5 days for maintenance? 7 days total?
