As of the last hardfork, you can now submit as many posts as you'd like each day.
Your vote power gets replenished at a rate of about 40 full strength upvotes per day - you could vote more but your votes will get weaker and weaker as time goes on if you go past this.
Your posts get paid out after 7 days, and then it'll arrive in your wallet as liquid funds. The general rule is that 25% of the overall payout amount goes to curators/voters , the remainder is split 50/50 between liquid funds (Steem Dollars or Steem) and Steem Power ("shares" in steemit that come with increased influence)
