Great article -- but either I'm confused and/or missing something or somehow I have a reputation of 11 . . . .
EDIT: Now that I blogged a BUG REPORT (https://steemit.com/steemit/@mark-waser/bug-report-somehow-i-apparently-have-a-reputation-of-11), it has, of course, fixed itself. Probably something to do with never having up-voted (and the blog up-voted when I didn't uncheck the box).
I made my Steemit Account today and i had a rep of 11 too. (at this time i did not know what this number was)
Now its on 1.
