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.
