Hello Scott. I did include it, but I made the text small. Maybe I should have made it big instead! Haha.

If you're not sure what a witness vote is, or why it's important, please see this post from a couple months ago: Steemit is Free, But Your Witness Vote Determines its Future.

Voting for a Witness

  1. Go to the witness voting page on SteemIt.com
  2. Press upvote next to the witnesses you'd like to vote for...
  3. For witnesses not in top 50 like myself
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and locate the vote box (seen below with a vote for me 😉)
  5. Input a witness username and hit vote.

  6. Rejoice in self achievement!

I agree, I didn't even know what a witness was. Still not sure that I do. Is it like a bitcoin node?

It's like the Steem equivalent of a Bitcoin miner.

Nice Comment!

It is like a bitcoin pool that gets to "mine" more blocks, process transactions and get paid for it with newly created tokens.
