Sort:  

One more question, if you don't mind. When I upvote, a box pops up that asks for a percentage...what's the distribution, or how & what's distributed (I hope that makes sense, you can see how old and dumb I am)?

That is where you choose how much vote power you allocate per upvote.

If you want to maximize your curation profits then always chose 100%, until your voting power stays above 0. Make sure you not run out of VP, but I think it should be plenty there if you vote manually.
