I have been trying to figure out how the voting thing works. I have seen some posts that ask not to vote if under 90% and followed links to explain the 'proper' way to spread my 10 votes per day. I still am confused by it. This is in no way meant to be negative to Steemit or anyone on this blockchain. I am having a lot of fun learning how to connect here.
I am also also pushing past some of my' comfort zones' with technology. Ha, I still miss my rotary phone...love that sound, I even asked my son to make an app for my sell phone. I wrote about my 'Old Ways' here:

but I digress...back to the upvote issue. I am sure that I will figure out what it is all about as I go along, but it would be great to find a link like this:

  1. Explain the upvoting to me like I am a 5 year old.
    OR EVEN BETTER
  2. Explain it to me like I am a 60+ year old, because I honestly think there are a lot of 5 year olds who are much more comfortable and adept at all of this than I am, LOL!!
    That being said, I will continue to grow and learn in this space and other spaces until the end of my 3D stay here on earth and I humbly ask that you do be patient with me and all NOOBS as we vote and/or figure out all things Steem and beyond.
    Love, Cheryl
