I would upvote, but for whatever reason my vote is worth zero and has been for some time and I'm not sure why? How long does it take for voting power to regenerate if one has none? I've gone to steemnow.com to check (as suggested) and still showing as no worth, but I'm not sure why?
Any feedback on this issue is appreciated. Sorry if it seems I'm being dense.

With steem prices so low votes drop a lot. So you currently don’t have enough steem power to pass the .01 mark. Your voting power is still at 100%. Keep posting to grow that steem power. I just upvoted a bunch of your posts to give you a little boost. Good luck.

Thank you for your generosity @dosdudes! And, thanks for the encouragement to keep posting. As you know, not as much fun when you don't have upvotes to give. Though I enjoy producing content and visiting/commenting on other peoples brilliant content, there still remain parts of the system which I find very complicated.

And also, even if it's less than a cent, it still assigns some rshares, so it, along with a bunch of other teeny tiny votes, still matters. Vote away. No worries (you can check your current steem power on steemworld.com)

Maybe, I was misinterpreting? For the most part I've been probably voting too much, but stopped for a couple of weeks when it had no value and didn't seem to ever build up again. Finally, I am seeing the error of my thinking and happy to be voting again :)

Yes. No matter how much you vote, if you stop for 5 days (even if you'd managed to get your vp to 0%) you'll be back to full.

It looks like you have too few STEEM. Here you can do a simulation to check how much SP you'd need to have a $0.01 vote: https://steemworld.org/@kimberlylane
At 100%, you'd need 91 SP. You have 84.79 SP. You're nearly there!
Don't worry... with a bit of luck and patience, STEEM will shoot up and your vote will suddenly be worth $0.04 or $0.05.

Yay! Look, I just took your advice, looked at steemworld, went back to my account and powered up the $18 I had sitting there and I've got a one cent vote again :)
Yes, I will look forward to the .04-.05 votes :)
Thank you!

Guess @dosdudes already gave you the perfect explanation! Nevertheless just upvote posts you like even though your vote is worth "nothing" it shows the author you appreciate his work!

Will voting with no power mean it will take me much longer to build up a vote that is worth something? I do at least leave comments on the posts that I read and appreciate.

Short version: Voting on posts will actually earn you some curation and therefor your vote will be worth more in the future.
To be honest though I really urge you to read the welcome tab since it is quite important to understand how steemit works.

I feel your pain. As the price has been going down, I have been stuck at being able to give .01 or less for months. Things will come back though.
In my experience, people are always happy to get an upvote even if it very small and I know that I, personally, notice when I see the same people coming around my posts to vote and comment and I end up following a lot of them.

Well, I am learning that it's probably best just to upvote whatever I normally would have I just read somewhere not to vote if my voting power was down, but I'm finally figuring out that means if it's under 80% of power. I kept thinking my penny upvote would come back after I stopped using as many, stopped and then nothing was happening. Anyway, thanks for your help. Can take me awhile sometimes to get things ;/

Haha I always have low power. I think I am sitting at 60 something at the moment lol. Yeah you kind of have to find a happy medium. Once you get to like 500 sp you get the little slider then it is easier because you don't have to give a 100% upvote. That is what I am working on doing at the moment but it is slow going sadly.
No problem. No one really tells us things when we start here and it can take a bit of doing to figure things out. It was about three months before I satrted to get the hang of it and I am still finding stuff out.

Well... hmmm... now I'll recommend you another good song. Now it'll be: Jigsaw Falling Into Place, by Radiohead. It's was one of my favorite songs from the band for a loooong time. The feeling it produces it's unexplainable. A really underrated song, you should give it a try. (Creep is the worst aberration by them, trust me).
Good luck to everyone!!!

So #random have you thought about how one can be jealous about something they actually don't care about? Think about it. Have you ever been a in situation were you get jealous of someone and on a second thought you really cannot place why you are jealous because you don't want or need what that person has?

I love these contests as i think the whole project is brilliant. I have managed to win a couple of sbi shares as well as a few i have sponsored myself but would love to keep adding more. I think it's really great for those of us who struggle to get upvotes and it's nice to see a few cent beside our posts.

This is not financial advice, it's my own opinion.
The great financial reset is coming, SOON!
It should have happened in 2008 but they papered over everything and now it is in substantially worse shape.
People are waking up to facefarts shenanigans and will be jumping ship in droves.
People are starting to understand what cryptocurrency is and how it can protect your assets.
And much more...
Fasten your seat belts firmly, and hold on because when this thing goes it's going to be a ride that's NEVER been seen before in the history of the world.
Again this is just my .02
Dollarser. Steem.I wish everyone luck..
p.s. When it happens it will happen overnight. "They" the ones in the know won't give you any warning beforehand. "They" will keep telling you everything is Rosy until it isn't. So get your house in order now.
