Voting power is based upon how much Steem Power (aka vesting STEEM) an account holds as well as how much voting an account has done recently. The Steem network attempts to approximate your average voting rate such that your voting power on any given post is approximately:
Because Steem doesn't know how many votes you will cast in the near future, the VotesPerDay calculation is a moving average. This means each consecutive vote you make will increase your average VotesPerDay. If you go 24 hrs without voting then VotesPerDay will get reset to its minimum value: 20.
You can increase your voting power by posting and voting. 50% of all content and curation rewards are paid out as SteemPower.
The amount of benefit a vote confers on the authors of a post depends upon how many votes are already cast. This is because payout is determined by the following calculation:
This means that small votes have a much greater absolute benefit when added to a post with a lot of votes, and almost no apparent benefit when added to a post with no votes.
The outside observer would think that the second voter counted for "3" even though both voters were of the same weight. The reality is that if a 3rd down vote was cast by an another voter of equal weight the Payout would fall to 1. A fourth voter downvoting would return the payout to 0.

I have two Steem accounts, one I created here at Steemit.com and the other I created for mining following the instructions in @joseph's Mining Steem For Dummies Guide. My question: Can I link the two accounts so that my SteemPower is greater when voting on posts?

I'm a new steem user, so sorry for the dumb question, but does it cost you anything to vote? Are you "using" up steempower when voting?

@tuck-fheman, you should edit your post so that the summary (first line) is clearer. It currently displays "1." which isn't very useful. I will probably update steemit to ignore summaries that are too short because this is a recurring problem.

Yeah I believe I checked before editing and no one, or maybe one, had voted so I got it in before all of the votes. At least I hope I did. ;)

Originally I left the summary blank since it said "optional". I guess because I used the numbered list in the post it just grabbed the 1 and left off the rest of the line? I edited to add a summary.

@tuck-fheman, I am a newbie here, and I see my voting power has reduced to about 67%. How do or when do I get my full 100% voting power.?
I recently edited a post of mine for grammatical errors. The post already had some author rewards. But now after the edits, the post. Seems to have frozen. No more views or rewards. What's happening actually?
Is it a good idea to upvote all the interesting blogs that I come across daily? Does it help to upvote in the first few minutes of a blog or after a day?
I want to take services of @randowhale to upvote one of my low visible blogs. But it is already 1 day since I posted my blog. Having @randowhale's whale upvote after a day of posting is advisable or not?

Good question @topdog. Anyone here knows the answer how to increase voting power to a hundred? By the way at @topdog, sorry to say this but i've read from one of the post that it will reset the vote to zero if you edit the post.
