RE: Steemit Essentials - The Sexiest Bot on the Internet
I have used @ginabot for notifications especially since starting out, and funny enough, wrote the same kind of post some time ago...it is worth repeating for sure! I like that she's on Discord and is easily visible to me.
But then along came steemworld.org, which I keep open at all times; if you don't use it, check it out. It may be a future post for you:) It now also includes notifications, so on my laptop, it's giving ginabot a run for her money haha I got used to receiving notifications from @ginabot, but I turned her off to try steemworld instead, because it really is a one-stop shop; seriously it has everything you need there. I'm trying to decide which I prefer, but @steemchiller, who created steemworld is doing a fantastic job with updates. It even has a manual vote slider if you don't have the 500 SP required for the automatic one, but it also lets you know of comments received, incoming/outgoing votes, your financial status on here, bandwidth, voting power almost everything.
I'm not bad mouthing @ginabot though, because she is pretty darn amazing and this is the type of information that new people especially need to hear!
It's like I have two best friends and I'm not sure who to hang out with haha
Thanks so much @lynnecoyle1. This is exactly the type of feedback I was seeking. 4 months on Steemit and this is the first I heard about steemworld. Very cool. I'm going over to check it out. Surely, it seems deserving of some sort of review.
You are so welcome; and I am so glad! It is worthy of 'some sort of review for sure'!
Let me know if you're stuck on any of it...I'd be happy to help you out :)
Thanks for the offer. I will be messaging in the next day or two about Steemworld and how you utilize it. Many of the settings aren't clear to me.
Ok no problem. I'm not an expert, but I can give you a hand for sure :)
It's the first I've heard of steemworld, too! Thanks for that lesson!!
You are most welcome @mtnmeadowmomma! It really is amazing. Let me know if you have questions about it; I'll be happy to help as much as I can :)
I was about to comment how good ginabot is. I only use it for notification. I will check steemworld too.
It's worth checking out! But I love ginabot too :)
How can I change my VP percentage? If I adjust the slider in the steemworld, it does not apply when I vote or I can't do that yet? At what point should I be able to?
It's a bit more work than that, but it's worth it. This may seem complicated, but it will be worth it in the end, and it's simply once you do it a few times.
You have to go down to "Tools", then "Manual Vote" and you'll see the slide adjuster there. Then go to "Account Operations" further up and click on the comment that you want to upvote. It will "open up" and you'll see "Parent Permalink". Copy that and paste back in "Tools-Manual Vote" where it says "link". The "author" spot should automatically fill in...make sure you're upvoting the correct author.
Like I said, it seems complicated, but is so simple once you try it a few times. You'll be able to vote so many more times by using it. Let me know if you get stuck. I've been meaning to write a post explaining it, so now that is on my list of to-do's tomorrow :)
The author does not fill in. I tried author and parent author but I get error.
when you go to copy, click 'copy link adress' and make sure you're copying "parent permalink"and pasting in "link"
Got it! I was pressing ctlr+c when copying. I think it was not copying everything. Thanks!
Oh awesome! I'm so glad to have been able to help you ;)
