It takes a little while for the votes to add up @falconspy. You can get a better handle on your Rep score by looking at yourself in steemd ( https://steemd.com/@falconspy ), there you can see who responds to you and who votes for you and you will eventually see Reputation 25.1. Look for articles you are interested in, read them, upvote them, and leave a comment.

When first starting out try to vote on 10-15 articles or comments a day. Try to make a post once a day or every other day. And most important, if someone leaves you a real comment on a post you made, definately give them an upvote. It will pay dividends in the long run. By day 3 if you have been posting, commenting and voting, you should see your reputation climb. It does take time. I have been here almost 4 months and am only up to 54, some people that joined around the same time are in the 60's.
