Explaining steem to the piano instructor

@remlaps As a new steem user, can someone explain how steem owners vote for witnesses in a simplified way like your excellent diagram + commentary?
It's not clear to me if I'm supposed to vote for witnesses on steemit.io or somewhere else.
Do witnesses "campaign" for votes somewhere? Thanks!

Hi @donnlee,

You can vote for witnesses here - https://steemit.com/~witnesses.

I'm not aware of any on-going campaigns, but occasionally, witnesses will create posts asking for votes and describing their current projects. The best place I know of to look information about witnesses is here - https://steemit.com/created/witnesses. I think they have a channel in steemit chat too, but I don't use that much, so I'm not sure how useful it is.

@remlaps Thank you. I just found this and it has some more info on witnesses: https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptofiend/the-missing-faq-a-beginners-guide-to-using-steemit
Much to learn!

That's a good article. It had slipped my mind, so I'm glad you found it. There is a lot to learn, but fortunately you can learn it in small chunks. Just be attentive to quality and relevance on the things you post, post regularly, and vote & comment on posts from others, and you'll do fine. You can learn the rest when you need it. Seems to me like you're off to a great start.
