Hello and welcome to the Homestead life communities first member announcement post.
Before I get started I would like to say that the launch of the community has been delayed due to me getting quite sick with the flu and as I am a home dad, I have been taking care of 2 of my 4 kids, that have also come down with the flu. So if you could forgive me for the delay I would appreciate that greatly.
I have been preparing as many people and information as i have had the time to do , and was waiting to include them all in this post.

As you may be aware there are many things that go into creating a community, none being more important than the management structure. I am just an average guy and I require help to actually run the community. I have been looking for the right people that will assist all members of the community, in the areas that are directly applicable to the whole community. Now that some members have taken the challenge of helping to create the community and contribute effort to strengthen it, as well and expanding it, we now have the opportunity to establish a healthy and vibrant community.
So without further ado, I will announce our first community leader.

@Nedspeaks, Ned is a true professional in his conduct as well as his real world profession. Ned is a Pulmonary, Internal Medicine and a Critical care specialist.


@Nedspeaks The homestead Life Community's FIRST Mayor .

Congratulations Ned, we are all very lucky, to have such a kind and professional person like yourself to be our new Mayor.
For further information on Ned you can go to his Introduction post here.

As you would expect, the position of Mayor has many duties, primarily of which will be the coordination and development of our fledgling community. This is a big job and comes with a lot of responsibility, so please show Ned respect and patience when seeking Ned's assistance. Ned is a highly intelligent and proficient person, that takes his position seriously and humbly.



At this point in the community we are still small, so the management positions within the community are few. As we expand, we will be needing other members to step up and take on the task of a community leader.

Now, you all know me, and if you're unsure what my name is' i'm Graham. I am the creator of The homestead life community, and my position is the Founder. My introduction post is here

My duties as the Founder are to continue to grow the community as well as ensure that you all have the help that you need and a fair share of the activities within the community. I will also be assisting Ned in coordinating the community, and will be checking that you, our valued members, are not being taken advantage of by vote hunters, that only join our community to take you votes and give nothing in return. I did not place myself as the Mayor because that position needs to be filled by the person that is best suited to the job. @Nedspeaks is that person. I continue to be grateful for all of you becoming members, and I am humbled by the kindness and amazing abilities that you all have.

Welcome to you all.

Be sure to follow your fellow members

If you would like to bring a friend, family member or someone you met on steemit, into the community, simply let me @TheHomestedLife know, and I will assist you


Now for some news.

All of you have many and varied skills, as i became aware of as you joined the community. If you would like to have a leader position, all you need to do is ask and explain what it is you would like to contribute. The aim is to have all members as leaders in the skill that you possess, so there is endless opportunity to expand and increase you skills. If you think of our community like a small town, a town needs all kinds and types of people with skills. as I mentioned in the application post, you don't have to be a homesteader.

Imagine a town that only had farmers in it.

Who would be the doctor, shop keeper, blacksmith, gunsmith, scientist, chemist, baker, builder, it specialist, accountant, marketer, news paper, developer, psychologist, bucher, potter, clothes maker, barber, photographer, astronomer, physicist, explorer, entertainer and the list goes on and on. We need them ALL, and more, to build a vibrant, diversified and healthy community.

In the THL News bulletin, you will be able to advertise your skill, business or profession, so all members can benefit from the services you provide. You can even advertise your old car if you like. There will be classifieds, news, announcements, competitions, awards, product advertisements, jobs, sport, weather and all the thing you would expect to find in a newspaper, ALL, supplied by and for members. The news bulletin will be full of the content that you wish to place in it.
The community is you, if you add to the community, the community will grow, just like a town.


A special thanks to these members for their assistance to me, in helping with my learning curve on steemit. @Barrydutton and @Farmstead

Lots of new names I haven't seen around! Glad to see such interest!

Looks like you used some good formatting! Fabulous!

learnt from the best ; o)
Thank you for all the help it made ALL the difference .

Hope you and the kids are feeling better! Thanks for the post 👍🏻 I adore @alicemarie and look forward to getting to know @NedSpeaks 🤗

Thank you @mylilhomestead I think you will like @Nedspeaks. he is a very nice man
lol... and everyone loves @Alicemarie : o)

Oh gosh, I don't know why anyone adores me, but I appreciate it!! Straight off I am in a bit of a situation. My wonderful cat has a very bad eye infection in his good eye, he is blind in the other, so unfortunately, I am going to be missing the next couple of days from posting as I need to take care of him. But I do hope to be back on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. So, here is a friendly reminder to not only up vote this post but re-steem it to help get the word out. I'll try to check in if time allow and will be back as soon as I can. Great job on this post Graham!! I look forward to getting to know our new Mayor!!

All good Alice, you get your little mate fixed up , we can hold the fort down until you're back in action : o) You going to like Ned, he's a very nice guy.

This is an awesome idea! A virtual township a Steemit Village, just straight up sounds like a fun thing to be a part of!

Thank you brother very kind of you ; o)

Thank you Graham, i'm so happy to be a part of this community, it's already helped me, and i'm grateful for all the upvotes from other members as well.

Thank you @TheHomesteadLife :-)

Thank you Sweetheart ; o)

Hey guys this is @nedspeaks.
I was drawn to the idea of building a very active community in the fashion of a real town. In this place we shall strive to help each other in every which way possible. I must ask for a short hiatus. I am travelling outside the US for 2 weeks. I will continue to work on the project and hope to have access to the Internet.
I will start following you one by one . I might be interesting that each and everyone of you write a post with the tag THL describing yourself, your interests, your expertise and how you plan to be a productive part of this community. I know some of you have done that already and some have not. I am lacking as well but I intend to do that tonight.
Many thanks to our founder @thehomesteadlife for the opportunities that this may bring us.

Hey, I'm looking to join #THL. Can you point me in how to do so? Thanks!

Sorry for any delay.
Welcome to THL.
Anyone interested in joining ( THL ) will be considered by Graham our founder. He is out of town atm but should return in a day or so. To be considered, new members need to follow existing members. To apply, simply leave a comment stating clearly that you would like to join, on this post https://steemit.com/thl/@thehomesteadlife/5lscog-join-a-community-on-steemit and you will be placed on the application list. Follow the rules of this post. For a members list and further information check this post.
https://steemit.com/thl/@thehomesteadlife/thl-community-member-update-1
. Follow all the members on the list and be sure when you post to use # THL in your tag listing so your post will appear on the THL page. Be sure to use THL as one of your first 3 tags. Visit the THL page regularly to view fellow THL members content. Upvote, comment and resteem and they will all return the favor when you post. It's that simple! Graham should be back shortly and will reply to anyone interested in joining. You will be notified as soon as that process is completed when Graham next logs in. Thanks from THL---- @saved4newlife

Im here brother and ready to do what I need to ..I am supper busy like everyone here, no doubt, but lets get this party hopping! and do all I can to help!

Sounds good brother. As long as everyone goes to the THL tag page and upvotes each other, we will make a good start. Putting all our posts in one place makes it very easy for everyone to see all the posts in one click, and use that recharged steem power before we go depleting it elsewhere.

Followed you from thl

I have followed everyone on the list except for some where steemit says the page does not exist. Kindly go through the list and follow each other for a start

You may need to refresh the page when that happens. It should still load after that. I sent you an email as well.

I am considering ideas how to get great THL posts to be taken farther. If we all get this thing going under Fletcher's guidance then I think we oughta be able to place posts in the promoted section. Let's think about this. Minor investment. If we plan it right we can do well.

Something to look at for sure, members will need to take a vote on it. As we would need donations from them all to do it.
Would cost a lot to get the post high enough on the list to be noticed though. 300 mite get it on the 2nd or 3dr page

Excited to be here and hopefully connect with other amazing people!

We are very happy to have you join, its lots of fun in the community.
Remember to use the THL tag : o)

is it supposed to be the first tag or just one of the tags?

Not the first one,
best to make it the 3rd or 4th, that way if you want to remove the post for any reason it will come off no worries.

thanks sounds good!

Love this idea. Can I join in? Looks like a great small family of like minded people!

Trying to get in THL group. I just need to let someone know? Start following all on the list? How do I get added to the list? Resteeming this!

G'day, well it looks like you have done everything to be a member no worries.
Your now a member, I will put you on the members list.
Be sure to remember to use the THL tag, so all of your posts go to the THL tag page, that way we can all see your posts and you can see ours nice and easy.
We like to go to the tag page first, so we can use our recharged steem power on our fellow members, before we deplete it elsewhere.
Thank you for joining and we all look forward to seeing your good content posts very soon.
Cheers
THL

Thanks. I was thinking perhaps you should list members by date also so it would be easy to find new users for everyone to add. Dunno if that would help or not. If not no worries. Just want to be sure I don't miss adding a new member is all. :) Thanks for adding me Graham

Sounds like a good idea, I like the way your thinking. I will put a new post up at least once a week to announce the new members so everyone will get some recognition of joining and for any effort that they put into the community.
If your interested, in helping us get new members, I would appreciate that greatly. You could be a liaison officer if you like. It's an easy job, plus you get to make more posts to generate some more votes and income.

Think I may have just sent 2 your way. lol. Sounds good. What would that job consist of? If I get to bring in more people that wouldn't be hard.

I don't live to far from @nedspeaks either.

My email is [email protected] if you need to send me anything extensive.

Will do, thank you for that, it does make it much easier some times...lol not everything should go on steemit ; o)

Graham, One of the members on the list I contacted says they are not part of the group and never even heard of it. @pakyeechan. I asked if they wanted their name removed but no reply as of yet. Not sure what you want to do in this case.
UPDATE:
He asked for group details so I sent him two links for group info.

Screenshot (9).png

If you hit Ctrl and roll your mouse button at the same time it will make the pics bigger to read.

UPDATE AGAIN:
Now he says he remembers joining. He is staying on the list. Sorry to bother you Graham.

All good i like your enthusiasm : o)

You will find some people will forget or just change their minds, it's all good.
Some will like to join us and others will prefer to go there own way, doesn't really matter though, because we are just having some fun. The bigger the community gets, the better our chances are, of us all getting the upvote we all need to make a few dollars, but we don't need to go to hard at it, as some people get offended if we try to hard to convince them.
I just tell them where here and let them decide by themselves. I tend to tell every person that follows me and leave it at that, until they reply and show interest.

Hi all ! I am a quantity surveyor as well as an animal lover, glad to join you all :)

Ok good. You had me confused a bit but glad to see you are onboard. :)

Welcome back.
Be sure to use the THL tag so we can see your posts nice and easy : o)
Cheers
THL

Sure, thanks a lot!

Your welcome : o)

Nice work THL I'll follow everyone asap!

Sweet, thanks brother.
I will be making a new post soon, with the new members on, hopefully tonight if I can get the kids to sleep on time lol ;o)
