With joy in my heart and happiness I make my Achievement 6 post. I appreciate and thank @cryptokannon for the guide that have been provided for me.

## <center>HOW CURATION WORKS ON STEEMIT.  </center>

**Curation** is the distribution rewards. When you vote on posts or comments,  curation takes place. Voting is a way of appreciating quality content on Steem Blockchain. When you vote, you starts to distribute rewards from the reward pool to the post author.

**Voting Mana** is a major factor in voting, it is highest at 100% but deducts by 2% when you vote is done at a power of 100% and it recharges by 20% daily. To check your voting mana you have to visit steemscan.com

## <center>WHEN YOU VOTE BEFORE THE FIVE(5) MINUTES MARK.  </center>

When a post is voteed on. 50% reward goes to the author and the other 50% goes to the voters. If the voter(curator)votes a post before the 5 minutes mark, the voter won't receive his full reward. Below is the summarizes of what you will receive when you vote before the five minute mark.

VOTING TIME|CURATOR GETS (%)|REWARD POOL RETAINS (%)
----------|-----------------------|-------------------
1 min|20|80
2 min|40|60
3 min|60| 40
4 min|80|20
5 min|100|0

What it means in general is that voting least than 5 minutes a post was made decreases the curators reward as you can see above while voting at 5 minutes or after 5 minutes gives the curator full curators reward.


## <center>WITNESSES ON STEEMIT.  </center>

Witnesses are elected by the community to produce blocks for the steem blockchain on every three(3) seconds.

I will love to  vote @steemchiller and @justyy.

##  </center>COMMUNITIES ON STEEMIT.  </center>

There are many Communities on steemit and I have chose to join some of them. They are :

**Steemalive Community**
Steemalive is one of the fast growing Community on Steemit. It is a general post Community that was founded by @focusnow
I joined @steeemalive because it trains, mentors and supports new members and old members alike.

**Newcomers Community**

This is a Community that mentors newcomers. It is where you have to post all the Achievement posts. I joined it because it guides me on how to make Achievement posts.

**Worldoffootball Community**

It is a Community that is based on football where football topics and contests.

I joined this community because of my love and passion for football.

**CONCLUSION**
There are many communities that I have joined and I wished to joined more but I have to be active in only few of them. I think that I have understood what curation and communities are all about.



Thank you @crptokannon for your guidance which have made all my achievement post and it have set me on a good grounding for my Steemit journey.
