RE: Unchecking Upvote Post + Ending Self Upvoting!
I usually only upvote my posts these days. Very rarely do I upvote my own comments unless it's to get exposure on a popular post like this one (and even then I would never do 100%). Although, if I'd just written something like "nice post" on @jerrybanfield's post I wouldn't upvote that. In this case I'd rather use my steem power to upvote other people's posts than my generic comment.
I still think generic comments have a purpose because it lets the author know you appreciate their work, but upvoting it? Yeah nah, what's the point? I see a lot of stuff on steemit I would rather upvote instead.
That's a good point @choogirl!
Do you think the author should also receive an upvote on his blog too if they upvote themselves?
I'm not sure I understand your question, sorry.
I mean if someone replies to a blog and upvotes it, should they also upvote the blog too?
Sure, if you get something out of both. The blog post and the comments are different things. There's no rules though so you can vote on what you want.
I don't upvote my comments because i would rather let the person posting see what their readers upvote. I still upvote other comments I connect with.
