I am new on steemit and almost a bit lost! Help!

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Really can people help upon here or is there a place on #steemit that poses help for people who are one day old upon here? 

or will help show itself on my journey upon here?

 i thought it takes nothing to upvote, thus i tried to upvote but it appears i ran out of steem power: and what is 'steem power'? 

are there pertinent rules for posting? yes, i certainly wont be abusive but will tagging people in a post downvote you or flag your post as unworthy? how many hastags can one use in a post that will not render it reckless?

I have many questions but let me start by posing these very few and see if help finds its way to me! 

Else i will sought after it, all the way!

awww, thank you. you know how funny it is that i was looking for some form of notification icon, then tried the reply button and saw i got a bunch of replies. overall, i have been wondering, how will i trace to see if there's activity upon my posts. well, i am just trying to highlight that i laughed at myself a bit. it is a bit touching to know that we'll get replies or help. the arrangement of the platform didnt look much like that to me but now i have understood something new. a long way to go tho but i am glad. i still have many other questions but i will do some reading before i ask, so my bunch of questions can reduce. thank you stella! and can i quickly ask before i forget, what is that number in a tiny circle beside the username? my started at 25 but has changed now!

that is your reputation score. I have the highest one on Steemit, so me upvoting you has increased yours. This means that people with lower reps cannot affect me.

thank you for answering. how else would i have know that! thank you. but how did you mean when you said, people with lower rep cant affect you? and what gives you a high reputation score!

Hello there, yes well you can try joining the Steemit chat here https://steemit.chat/channel/general....................you will find many old users who know the dials of Steem better than most !! Welcome and Good Steeming to you ! ; - )

thank you alot. i tell you it took me a while to find this and lemme ask. i wud have loved to upvote you know but you know i was busy upvote then i got an error seemimg to say i no longer have steem power. does my ability to upvote expire? i think i am still less than a day old here!

No, you can upvote all you want. You can earn Steem Power by being active here. Read the help area and digest it. It takes a while.

okay, i sure have too!

well if you go in steemstats.com you will see a green horizontal bar !! This shows your steem pressure if you like !! The more you vote the more the pressure goes down and you voting strength with it !! You should be aiming i believe at about 20 votes per day. More than that your pressure goes down to a point where your vote effectively means nothing and also it could take a while before it rebuilds. Hope that helps !! : - )

twill help in the long run, thank you alot
