Will the Steemit team please add a link to steemit.com/~witnesses on the SteemD witness list because this will help increase participation in witness voting? Currently the #1 place I review the witness rankings by checking every 5 minutes to see how much I have moved up is at https://steemd.com/witnesses.
To vote for a witness requires being at https://steemit.com/~witnesses. Isn't it incredibly logical to have a link to go vote for witnesses on the witness page on SteemD because this would take a very small amount of time and help voters interested in the witness process to go vote?
How did I end up asking for this?
After a month on Steemit including filming video courses and writing how to posts, I still did not know where to vote for witnesses despite going to https://steemd.com/witnesses several times and reading the "Learn more about DPOS" which does not have a link to vote for Steem witnesses because it is about Bitshares. I literally had to Google vote for Steem witnesses to find the page.
How many people skip Googling to find the voting page after being interested initially?
As I am starting my journey getting votes as a witness, what I am noticing is the surprisingly low participation of newer users in the voting process which is exactly how I started out too. While most of the original and early users are active in voting, few newer users even with a lot of Steem Power seem to be placing votes. Anything we can do to help encourage that I believe would help keep our witness list most representative of the community. Hopefully adding a link to the page which is easy to casually click on during an initial SteemD visit would encourage more people to cast a few votes.
Thank you for reading this! If you found it helpful, would you please go to https://steemit.com/~witnesses and vote for me as a witness please because I have a witness and seed node ready to serve with the following specs on both?
64GB DDR4 RAM
2x Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3
2x 240GB SSDs
1Gbit/s connection
Seed is available at seed.jerrybanfield.com
Love,
Jerry Banfield

I will absolutely vote you for witness, your youtube crypto videos are what brought me to steemit. Your participation on steemit is the most useful for steemit of all the crypto youtubers (Not knocking anybody just pointing out how you go the extra mile!)
Thank You for the opportunity to start to learn to write(something I always wanted to try) that posting on steemit motivates me to do.
Hey, Jerry. I saw this video and created a post where I share the news that I just named you as a witness: : https://steemit.com/vlog/@mythocurrency/jerry-banfield-i-selected-you-as-a-witness
I hope this helps. I am new and am trying to network on here to help build my voting strength. You seem like someone who is doing it the right away. Congrats.
Is it work ?
I hope you will get some mega-whale votes. I heard its a tough way upwards. We need people like you who are fully committed, engaged, constantly learning and sharing the knowledge as witnesses.
I would not have known where to vote if it wasn't for @jerrybanfield!
Excellent Jerry, I support you, I'm going to vote
Ready friend @jerrybanfield, upvote
GO! Jerry
Always interesting news and videos thanks
If you press the three bars at the top right, there is a link "Vote For Witnesses" pretty close to that top.
Is this not what you mean?
