OK, it is a great idea. I still don't get so much of this stuff. How is this post already "Hot" with 5 views, 2 upvotes and no comments (as I type?)

"Hot" is based on a function of time v. rewards that are on the post. High SP users (like @yabapmatt) that upvote on posting can spring onto the "Hot" page because their reward to time ratio is so high.
If the post does not continue to receive upvotes, it will fall down the "Hot" page and disappear off it relatively quickly. If it does receive upvotes, it may linger and then appear on "Trending" as well.
OK, that actually helped a little... thanks!
You're welcome! I'm always happy to help
I don't know the exact formula for the "hot" section but it's generally about the payout value of the post and how recently it was submitted. I gave it a full upvote for about $1.20 so that may have been enough to get it in the "hot" section for a particular tag that doesn't have many recent posts. It's definitely not on the hot section overall!
Oh my...
I guess I am just glad I do not have to "get it" to post.... lol!
