RE: If you are new to Steemit, read this and learn from my mistake!

Wow 32%. Congratulations that is almost a record for a non bot voting. The lowest I ever saw was 31% by @mindhunter who was aiming for it.

Unless you've got a lot of Steem Power it won't really matter though as the slice of the pie is already tiny. Once you've got over a 1000SP you will start to see curation rewards worth monitoring the vote power of.

The next hardfork is going to turn the voting system on its head and we're all going to have to change our voting habits again.

Keep Steeming!!

Thanks for the additional info. Even if it didn't greatly affect my minnow sized rewards, I'm a perfectionist, and hate to be at 32% of anything! lol

Have you got the vote power yet?

Currently at 95.1%. I try to keep it between 90%- 100%.

Once you have enough SP you can control your voting weight with a level bar like this.

I always vote on posts with 100% power and my vote weight is often around 80% and last week it was down to 65%. haha crazy right. and I average about $2.60 a week in curation with about 2,400sp.

Oh and I just saw this article you might like.

Gonna follow you. Nice to meet ya.

That is excellent info. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. I can't imagine being at 2,400sp, but right now I am just having fun gleaning information, increasing my blogging skills (I've never blogged before in my life), and enjoying meeting new and interesting people. It's like a whole new world opened up before me.

No problem, feel free to ask me anything, just leave me a comment in any of my posts and I will see it.

Sounds like we had very similar beginnings. I had been writing a blog for a couple months before I discovered steemit. I was still quite new as well to writing but i always loved.

Here's a couple posts that should explain somethings for rookies.
