This a post for all and not only newbies. This post explains most of the things I should know and what I will do to make my stay on hive a success.

As you probably know, you can vote for 30 witnesses on Hive. You can vote and you should as well, as witnesses are the ones running the nods and ensuring the correct behavior of the blockchain. The number of votes you have doesn't depend on the size of your stake. Your vote value does, but even if you have very little, you should not worry about that. In time, if you're staking your earnings, your vote value grows.

For this, I don't know how it is done. For witnesses, is there a way we could get access to their efforts before we can vote for them? If so, which site can we do that on?

Thanks overall for making his post.
