I also tried manually upvoting my own post—just t see what would happen.
Never never do that.

More seriously—shouldn’t you get Karma from people REPLYING to your comments? Lots of Karma—I mean: someone upvotes me—that’s nice—but someone actually REPLIES to me - wo hoo!
Your own comments have an automatic upvote applied to them—this works like any other upvote. If you click “Vote up” after you’ve already voted something up, it cancels the upvote. You can (potentially) determine whether you’ve currently voted a comment up or down based on whether “Vote up” or “Vote down” is in boldface.
Trolls and flamebait get lots of replies too, and that shouldn’t count towards karma.
You currently get a karma point just for automatically upvoting your own comment. This is scheduled to be fixed, but it’s low-priority.

Or, do it twice.
