Question on curation weight
A few days ago I joined Steem. At the time, I really didn't understand it how it all worked yet. So the first day up-voted anything and everything of interest. I probably voted on over a hundred things. My question is, how does the weight of each vote relate to steem power and the money that the post gets? And does my liberal use up the up-vote that day still have an effect of my voting power?

You did too much voting that resulted in diluting significantly your voting power, a mistake many new users on steemit make. Your voting power regenerates back to 100% over time, but you need to be more careful with upvoting things.
The problem is that you start with very little Steem Power and that means that your vote worth (how much value it adds to the post or comment you vote on) is very little. You can check the exact value here http://steemdollar.com/dollar_per_vote.php?name=rlziggy
So the more you vote, the less value your vote adds to a post or comment and as a result the amount you may receive as a reward from that post is getting lower too. The minimum you can get as a curation reward as a result your vote is 0.001 SP, you your share of the rewards is less, then you just don't get anything back as a reward.
That's awesome. Thank you
Do you know the relationship between voting worth and Steem Power?
There is some formula that calculates it, but haven't dug that much to figure it out when there are tools that are doing the math for you...
Here is a post that can give you idea what you get with 1000 STEEM POWER: https://steemit.com/voting-power/@cryptos/how-much-voting-power-do-you-get-with-1000-steem-power
Wow that post deserves move votes for sure. Thanks for the help
That is one of the issues here on steemit, even if you make a good post there is no guarantee it will be noticed among all others... with time you just learn to deal with it and continue doing what you are doing best - writing what you think is interesting and useful.
One more tip as I see that you have posted more than 4 articles in the last 24 hours. Try to keep it up to 4 per 24 hour period as there is an algorithm that starts to penalize you by reducing the rewards for the 5th, 6th, 7th and so on articles you post in a period of 24 hours. It is intended to make people focus on posting less, but higher quality articles, though it seems that most of the users are not aware of that feature, so the postivie effect from it is not yet very certain.
