It amazes me that so many find one's use of voting for themselves objectionable. I, myself always vote for my post when first posted. Why not? I approve of my hard work and am able to appreciate myself. Enough said! The rest of my votes.... I choose to use for interesting posts from people I follow and mostly for comments on my posts. The interaction between us ins so important and I love to give a little bit back to those that enjoy the community as much as I do. Voting for yourself is like giving yourself a big hug for a job well done. Go for it!
