Now that your account is setup, it’s time to join the NaPodPoMo Community!

Here is the explanation for what you see above:

1. Once you “JOIN” the community you will then see a “WRITE A POST” at the top.
2. Each post not only marks the time it was published, but also starts the countdown clock to the 7th day when the post will “Pay Out Rewards” and once that exact time is passed 7 days the post will not longer earn rewards no matter how many upvotes or comments it receives. This encourages the community to create fresh content.
3. This shows how many upvotes a post has, the replies/comments, and reblogs of the post
4. This is how much each post has earned through upvotes. At the end of 7 days this will payout to both the author of the post and the curators of the post. Who are curators? These are the folks who upvoted, replied/commented, reblogged your post. The author receives a little less than half of that number with the rest being split amongst beneficiaries, curators, and the platform. More details on this in future posts.
