Sorry if I am coming off as a total dimwit right now, but I'm sensing that the private key is not the same thing as the password I use to login into steemit? If it's not the same thing, how do I get myself one of those private active keys? Thanks!

Have a look at this. https://steemit.com/steemit-guides/@pfunk/a-user-s-guide-to-the-different-steem-keys-or-passwords

You can find your keys here: https://steemit.com/@hearingcolours/transfers (click on "Permissions", you only see this).

Sorry, I don't have time explain more currently. Let me know if there's still something you're wondering about.

Perfect! Figured it out. Thanks, again!
