A little bird made me notice that I started explaining more complicate features of SteemJs although I haven't shown how to vote yet. 

It is a very easy process knowing which you can design for example a voting slider for minnows (This is how SteemPlus started ;) ). Anyways, let's get to it and as usual, check the [documentation](https://github.com/steemit/steem-js/tree/master/doc#votes)

~~~~
steem.broadcast.vote(wif, voter, author, permlink, weight, function(err, result) {
  console.log(err, result);
});
~~~~

Simply use this as the following:
- ````wif```` is the private posting key, that you can find under the Permissions tab of your wallet. Click on show the private key and copy paste it here.
- ````voter```` is the account corresponding to that wif key, the person voting.
- ````author```` is the author of the blog (or comment) you wish to vote for.
- ````permlink```` : be careful here, it's not the entire url but only the last part of it, after the last ````/````
- ````weight````, the weight goes to two decimals so multiply your percentage by 100 : 99.99%= 9999. This corresponds to the percentage at which you are actually voting.

Okay, that was a bit too easy so let's also see how to get specifically the votes for a post. Use it in the same manner than above, and it will return the list of votes, their authors, weights and r_shares.

~~~~
steem.api.getActiveVotes(author, permlink, function(err, result) {
  console.log(err, result);
});
~~~~

You can also get the last upvotes from a specific account by using this function:

~~~~
steem.api.getAccountVotes(voter, function(err, result) {
  console.log(err, result);
});
~~~~

````voter```` stands from the account you wish to look out. It will return the list of the last votes.

That was a quick episode. Stay tuned for next one ;)

Hope this helps!
