It's similar to anywhere on the blockchain—you can upvote if you like. Best to do it before musing does because the curation percentage tends to be higher. I think musing would love for us to be voting up people's answers.
If you look along the left hand side of the page, there are some of the more popular categories listed. Food is one of them. However, you'll want to pay attention to when the questions and answers were made so that you're not voting on something seven days old or older. As far as answering older questions goes, I think that's perfectly fine.
re: I don't know why there aren't more baking questions. My guess, is the majority of us here so far don't bake. Which is probably why the question should be asked!
Next question... do your comments in Musing count in EL totals?
Well, yes, and no. Here's the deal. Since they show up as comments on Steemit (unless you choose to publish to blog), the total comments (C) and people spoken to (PS) count, but because the answers are stored on musing, the CL doesn't count, except for the link that shows up (View This Answer On Musing.io.)
Now, any subsequent replies, like the ones we've been doing back and forth here show up as comments, so they're counting to overall comment totals and lower level replies (CR).
So basically, it will look like you did some commenting, but didn't say very much, even though it's likely you wrote more to answer the questions. :)
Ah. It really is interesting to see how all these different sites work! I'm not finding this one a good fit for me.Many of the questions I've seen are awful.
Are you making money here? Does it payout into your wallet?
I am earning, actually, about two to three times more than I would normally do on Steemit (that's including a curie—otherwise, I'm doing more). With answers paying out at an average of 3 STEEM (in my case, don't know how others are doing in comparison), it's better than the less than 1 STEEM I typically get for a post, and I answer faster than I can make a post.
There are a lot of awful questions. There are some that are good, and those are the ones I try to stick to.
It's not going to be for everyone, though, and some of us who are here regularly probably aren't a good fit for it, either. It'll be interesting to see where musing goes in the coming weeks and months. Of course, I'm sure a lot is going to depend on just how quickly the crypto market turns around.
That is good money! I'll spend more time looking it over once I get this Thanksgiving dinner behind me! Right now all I can think about is sweet potatoes and stuffing. Do you have big Thanksgiving plans?
Bigger than usual, no. I think we're going for a full blown spread again this year, plus maybe some dessert we haven't had in the past. Might depend on what everyone is feeling like in the moment. Otherwise we're here at home, myself, my wife, my son, his wife and the granddaughter.
I am also looking forward to sweet potatoes and stuffing. What are the odds of that? :)
My stuffing and green bean casserole are made and will be ready to go in the oven in the morning. I still have to do the sweet potatoes later this afternoon. And besides setting the table and picking up a few things around here before everyone arrives, I think I'm ready!
Your day sounds delightful, any new dessert would make me happy! My daughter-in-law is making a dessert for us to have, and I'm sure the people who are not fond of pumpkin pie will appreciate that!
