# New Project

@food-smg is now beta testing a new project within its curation project.

With the implementation of @yabapmatt's [Community Bot](https://github.com/MattyIce/communitybot), we invite the food community to try out a new initiative to help with distribution of rewards on the Steem platform, as well as supporting everything food!!!

Not everyone blogs about food, but almost everyone loves food, who doesn't right? Since you may not blog about food, you might want to support different food content but find it difficult because you are trying to maintain your *Vote Power*.

Here is a way to help manage your VP and work together with the food community and curators that seek out food content on the platform and showing support. Also, receive a daily upvote from @food-smg for your contributions. 

# How it Works

> The bot has a list of members who either delegate a certain amount of Steem Power or pay a certain amount of liquid STEEM monthly (depending on the settings), and it simply goes through the list of members and upvotes their last post. This way members of a community can all chip in a little bit to build up a nice upvote every so often for their posts.


# How to Delegate

If you are not familiar with the Delegation feature on the Steem blockchain, it is a way to essentially "loan" out your Steem Power.

You can delegate directly using whichever method you use or through SteemConnect below.(***Note:*** The exact SP amount from the links below may vary due to fluctuations with MVests calculations on the network. e.g. 5 SP link might show delegation amount for 5.001 SP)

You can use http://www.steemdollar.com/vests.php to properly calcualte the exact amount of delegation.

You will need to edit the URL link. You can follow the guide here:
