Steam Basic Income - my first sponsorships

I'm feeling terrifically pleased with myself that I've finally learned how to do this - another step on my Steemit journey.

@steembasicincome - FAQs - learn more about how it works

A share in Steem Basic Income provides you with an upvote for every post you make, for life. You can increase your shares (and your upvote) by sponsoring others to have a share in the scheme. I especially like it because of the sponsoring others.

For my first sponsorships I've chosen Steemians who've helped me along the way. They all post interesting (and different) things, and are well worth following:

@phoenixwren has prompted me to take up more calls to action than any other Steemian, whether it's putting my local democratic representatives on speed-dial, donating for Arbor Day, investigating homelessness where I live, kitting myself out for plogging or contributing towards a bee butt friendly world. This sometimes leads to strange activities like feeling compelled to stalk bees and take bee butt pictures myself (but hey, I'm outside in the fresh air)! @phoenixwren also explained everything in Feeling Lost? Here Is Steemit 101, to which my response was, "Oh yeh, so that's how it works." And here I am.

The challenge was to plant some bee-friendly plants, but I got distracted.

@cryptocariad is my next choice, I love the gentle rhythm of her posts and the way I find myself caught up in discussions about ghosts of all things 😱. I love the nature posts and photography and visits to towns and special places and art galleries, including this amazing Fractal Clock Exhibition. @cryptocariad is a great supporter of the #needleworkmonday community providing lovely posts every week and lots of useful ideas and feedback in her comments on other posts.

@jamethiel - has such a very different life to me, living in Montana and travelling about the States for work. Another member of the #needleworkmonday community, I started following @jamethiel and was entranced by her photographs and stories of her life. I love the way on Steemit people gradually emerge from the fog and start to take form. "Who is this person," I wondered, "who knits while walking?" @jamethiel has introduced me to geocaching and a new genre of fiction but more than anything, a very different culture and landscape from England.

@revisesociology mostly gets me thinking! I love the developing #firstruleofsteemit series, the whole idea of Extreme Retirement (it's not what you think, and I've just realised I've misrepresented that for dramatic effect) and the opportunity to engage in some critical thinking. @revisesociology has written some in-depth posts about why he is leaving education - reasons which have implications for all of us - but also, and I have already lost myself in it, an amazing website of sociology resources. Actually, @revisesociology started me off on steam basic income by sponsoring me. A natural vlogger, this lovely video has a very funny ending.

@revisesociology - On grazing the allotment - one of my favourite posts.

I hope you enjoy these Steemians as much as I do 😎.

Now, I do have a little problem - I'm struggling to set up an autovote for steembasicincome. Can anyone help?
Edit: I've learned how to do it!
