Great explanation there. I found out some newbies complaining about getting less vote while they wrote an excellent article.

I can't answer there question why it happened that way. Since for me, wiring first, get the vote is a lovely bonus .

Not everyone gonna like what you wrote.. not everyone gonna vote for you .. and your post might not be in the first page (in Google version) so people might miss it.

So..write.. visit some other great article out there.. get into conversation with them. The least you will get is a new acquaintance . IMHO
