my question is this: where do i put it? just on the bottom or all over the whole shaft where it fit in to the tube? i don't want to do it wrong because i can see myself now.... riding along nicely and WHAM! seat going all the way down in the tube. yup that would be my luck.

What material is the seatpost made of? If the seat post is carbon, DO NOT grease it! If it is made of aluminum, then lightly grease the portion of the post that goes into the seat tube.
