Awesome!
I am so happy I could be of assistance! I was sure "surPRICED" when I looked in my wallet today!!! 😎 Thank you so much, I hope this project takes off! O yeah, my name needs to be corrected in the post it is missing a "-"... 💖
Big thanks once more @notconvinced and @coyoteom!!!
resteemed
Also KIN-SHEP and SHEP-HEARD was two brilliant names, I would have never thought of those.
Sorry about the type-o my friend. It's corrected. Thank you for the idea and I hope you find a way to use the platform.
Cool thanks! This is awesome!
(I make typ-Os all the time, just have to go back and edit...)
=)
The witnesses are probably super annoyed with how often I edit..LMAO
Probably... edited... He he he
Super excited about this initiative. I can see myself using both halves as I am a homesteader deep in the building of a dream and a traveling soul that cant always stay put!
Thanks to @coyoteom and @notconvinced for all the leg work you have put in... Here to help if you have use of me.
Hugs
Can't always stay put!!! Lol we can't either.... this is why we are building a multi-family homestead, so one family can still travel while the others take care of the land and animals and all that!
Always trust yourself and keep building the dream @borrowedearth... see you on the SHEP!
What a great idea! I love travelling but also really enjoy having a settled home base. Some projects you can just leave alone, having a community to help cycle and sustain is fantastic🙏
We have such a community organically developing here...its been really nice.
Yes! I too am looking forward to contributing posts to both tags. I would love to help put on some workshops, and would equally love to volunteer for some places to stay around the world. Thanks so much for your support @borrowedearth!
Thank you so much for your excitement. Word of mouth, using S-H-E-P and making sure to credit the platform where it's due are great ways to help out.
As we get things going, we may need more help behind the scenes and we'll keep your offer in mind, my friend.
WHat a great concept! I had read the original post you made last week, I think, about this, and have been waiting to see an update!
Thanks for supporting the concept! Now that we have introduced the platform accounts and their curation tags we believe it is more than just a concept, now it's an applicable opportunity we are excited to share with all our steemit kin.
You probably have seen the original announcement for the idea, or maybe you're remembering seeing the contest announcenment. We will be sharing more detailed information for each aspect of this program on the accounts @s-h-e-p, @kin-shep, and @shep-heard.
If you are ever looking for some volunteer work on your homestead, definitely check out our future posts on @kin-shep and get involved :)
I'll definitely be sharing and resteeming the posts as they come out! I absolutely love this idea!
You guys should think about doing some podcasts too to spread the word even more! I know @pennsif does his show every week and he has quite an audience of listeners.
I am wishing you and @notconvinced GREAT success with this; and to all the people who use the program! Looking forward to seeing people making posts about it on steemit too!
Thank you so much for your support @goldendawne,
we have been invited to come onto the show, we would love to get the word out but we're both a bit shy and would like to steady ourselves in the platform a bit more before going on air about it 😏
Thank you for the positive vibes and I hope you find S-H-E-P useful as well.
y'all -- i am so excited for this!!
Us too, opportunities abound! keep up with the accounts for some further info and once folks begin contributing to the tags we can start curating some great posts.
i followed all three of them! y'all can totally start blowin' it up after seeds go in the ground - harvest time caravan, anyone?!
That would be great! Would be fun to do a train line of steemit farms that our fin kin (minnows, dolphins and whales) could travel across a country and stop at each farm along the way. Maybe even bringing goods from one farm to the next!
😎 I hope you get to use the platform, my friend!
me too, buddy! i'm brainstorming projects, money stuffs, all sorts of ideas. :)
Thanks for the mention and reward. Glad to see you got it up and running.
So my family has a place on the coast and I need the lawn mowed and weeds pulled.......anyone, anyone... Ha, so I just need to put an ad on the #kin-shep for that once I get the lawn mower working?
You got it!
If you are offering a place for someone to stay in trade for a bit of lawn work, that is definitely something you can put uner the #kin-shep tag!
We will be making putting up some more detailed information + instructions on the accounts soon, but if you're feeling antsy to get started, feel free to look back at the original announcement for some more ideas on what information to include.
Thank you for your contribution and engagement, @portobello8me! Can't wait to explore all the benefits this program can bring to our community :)
Thank you so much for being part if it all and I look forward to seeing your host blog.😀👌✌👍😎
Maybe a helper could get it running for you!?
Wow, Thank you!!! Feels amazing having been so pivotal, without even trying too hard. Now for the cool part: putting myself on the map! :-) See you all soon!
Thank you, my friend! I look forward to reading your blog and have to type up my own as well.
Very cool! May I link this article and feature your username @notconvinced in the next issue of the Weekly Homesteading Newsletter to get the word out? Let me know, thanks!
Most certainly and make sure to mention @coyoteom as well, my friend. Thank you so much and every little bit helps.
Thank you and will do!
Thanks so much for helping spread the word! We are really looking forward to seeing all the great projects people will get to cocreate 🙌
Thank you for all the hard work you have put in to this fabulous initiative!!! I would love to come to the States and travel around and this will make it so much easier for me if it ever happens!!! On the flip side I would love to be able to host travelers in New Zealand on my small farm :) Win Win situation!!!! This is fantastic :)
Marvelous, my friend. I know that your country is host to a great sustainable initiative.
I also know many people that have visiting New Zealand on their wish lists. Thank you for your excitement, commitment to host and help.
I cannot wait to see the blogs pour into the tags.
New Zealand is lovely! I love the idea of steemians being able to use both tags at different times of the year 🙏
This is great! A wonderful set-up and I like both names. Now I will have to create my post and get it up! It will be as a host. I am looking forward to meeting steem homesteaders!
Great! I cannot wait to read, curate and possibly respond to your call, my friend.
Thank you for the support and acceptance!
Post written but not put up. I checked but there were no posts at @kin-shep. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything in my post before I put it up.
We have not created a blog for the channel yet and won't for a few days. Those are mostly for curation, so we need posts under the tags to put them to use.
We will be posting an instruction and introduction blog for each by the end of the week.
Is there any info you would like to know beyond what's in the post?
I can try to get the in-depth informational post up for @kin-shep soon for you.
If you are looking for what info to share in your #kin-shep post, check out our original announcement post here, let us know if you have any specific questions after looking through that.
I did use the original for a guide. One thing I did not see was any way of vetting someone who would be coming to stay in your home. Some Steemits I might know from their posts, but there are many, many more I don't. How would we address this? That was the foremost thing I was looking for.
I am a WWOOF host and we thoroughly vet anyone coming to stay: checking references, valid ins. card, etc. We've had some wonderful people, but we've also had some less than stellar, usually because the references were hard to check. Won't go there again.
So just wondering how this will be working...
I understand where you're coming from. I would really like this program to be both safe and useful for all parties involved. The transparency of steemit interactions allows impressive clarity of character if the user is active and engaged with their community.
We intend for the folks who are able/interested in helping to be able to respond using the #shep-heard tag, possibly specifying the farms they are interested in by tagging the kin-shep farm hosts in their post. From then on the vetting would be done through conversations between users.
I am interested in making sure the program is as safe and comfortable to use as possible, if you (or anyone reading) have any ideas on what we can incorporate and bring into the program to help this happen, please let me or @notconvinced know!
You are welcome to message me further on this topic via discord if you choose, my username on discord is coyoteom#4240. If you don't use discord feel free to keep commenting :)
I am afraid that we cannot offer any kind of vetting or even identification verification. Shep is just an area to compile specific information to be easily searched. We are not offering a service, just a platform to connect people.
I suggest that you get their names and just do a google search.
Me, myself and I prefer not to judge by any other means besides getting to know a person by hanging out. They are good until they are not.
A person can appear squeeky clean through any kind of vetting and not be a good person. On the flip, a person could be an ex-convict and end up being a great person.
I was not looking for vetting, but wondering if it was allowed or encouraged, as on WWOOF. And your points are valid, re: clean vet/bad person, etc. But by and large, our experience has been, good references=good person, poor references=not so good.
One of the vetting things we did do on the WWOOF program was a 3 day stay to see if it would work out, after doing an extensive farm visit/interview. And that after talking about expectations on both sides, to make sure it was a good fit. We were quite pro-active about doing our own checking out.
I am too new here to really know anyone yet. And anyone coming here would be living in our home. I guess I'm of the safer than sorrier camp...
PERFECT names!!!!! oh my gosh - i LOVE the tags!!!! This is so wonderful and I'm thrilled that you have a name that embodies your spirit and heart so fully!
I can't wait to see this take off for you!!! I'll be watching, my friend! :)
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I will simply be happy for the chance to help a few other Steemians out and make a couple new friends.
If it becomes a staple on SteemIt, then that's a benefit to the community as a whole.
So glad you appreciate the names! We wanted them to feel close at heart while still being descriptive enough to make the tags obvious.
Thanks so much for your creative contributions @dreemsteem
i think they're absolutely perfect.. as a matter of fact when i first saw shep (without the tags yet) i immediately thought - ohhhh shepherd.. i wonder if they could make something with that.... and bam! there it was!
and kinshep??? come on! how cool - two great spin on words that completely embrace the heart of what you do - its super clear. love it!!!!!
and you're so welcome :) it was a simple way to help my friend! :)
Yes! I'm a linguist grad and a huge fan of word play. Language is an art and I love the ability to create imagery and connections through simple similarities in sounds/spelling.
I liked the idea of shepherds, helping to keep flocks safe and moving through the pastures with them.. then we talked about having it be heard like they are listening to the world's calls for help and just loved it.
so glad you like it! I think we are making some good connections already, and I'm pretty happy to meet folks who are interested in collaborating to help really boost the effectiveness of the community.
oh it's just fantastic. i'm also a huge lover of word play!!! and this is top notch! hahahaha so so so great! :)
i'm happy to see that you have interest already :) it will grow! this is a fabulous initiative!
It looks like you're already making friends i'm sure that help is on the way to those steemians!!! i call that a success! :)
Yes, it is out! Good job everyone, it was fun participating. I love the buzz around this subject. I keep mentionong the platform when a fitting conversation strikes (Now it has a name so it's even better) but so far everyone has told me they've heard of it!!!
Amazing how short a time you took to get it where it's at, let's keep it rolling, it has great momentum... and you have a couple great homesteaders, well respected steemians, ready to put out the word (yes, Im talking about you @goldendawne and @kiaraantonoviche) that's really awesome.
So happy you've come up with this concept, I will also be using the tag soon for some Natural Building workshops!!!!
Thank you and resteeming for sure too!
Have a good night
Lol, I think you have shown the most excitement out of anyone, lol. The way you used the comment section of the original post, it was like you were the OP...ha ha ha
Your energy is awesome and it's an honor you are on board, my friend!
Oh wow, thank you so much! Well it is a very exciting thing you started.
And today is the first day I have been feeling myself again after getting the flu last monday!!! So I will be up and active again like in the original post 😁
Not tonight tho, I have work in 6 hours... Good night and thanks again, that was a sweet comment!
Right on! I think the possibilities of skill sharing and organizing workshops are astounding! Looking forward to seeing your posts @senorcoconut
Thanks so much for sharing the initiative through word of mouth, it's definitely the most organic way to spread awareness within communities 💖
Yeah you're welcome. I just mentioned @s-h-e-p on my last post too.
Guys, you are legends! Thanks for supporting my contribution. GREAT name. Honestly excellent choice. Keep at it, guys! I'll be following you closely! :-)
Thanks so much for contributing! We really loved all the engagement we got on our announcement post and are hoping that it's just the beginning of a sweet ride for all involved!
Though the acronym ultimately sounds sheepish to me, 😘
I know your intentions are good.
Much success in connecting steemians all over the globe!
Ha! We did try to steer clear of making it sound too much like sheep, as we know that those poor little souls sometimes get a bad rap for their group mentality. With s-h-e-p, we were able to make some nice tags and respective curation accounts for it. We believe that the acronym from @friendly-fenix worked very well to describe the community program and what we are hoping to bring to steemit: hospitality!
Thanks for the well wishes, we hope you are able to benefit from this initiative in your own world experience!
Hey guys, great to see you got this up and running! We will definitely be putting ourselves up on the map and putting some shout outs for helpers once we find our final landing spot.
Great to hear my friend. I cannot wait to read your help request and to put my offer to help out there, as well. I am quite anxious to hear about successful exchanges, which have resulted from Steemians using the platform.
I am also going to promote it, and Steemit, to any other off grid types I come across. I need to have a chat with my brother and get him on here
Nice and yes, your brother needs to be on SteemIt...lol
Awesome y’all!! Great idea and fantastic execution💙
Thank you so much.
I saw you putting this together, but @stortebeker really peaked my interest about it. After getting the kinks worked out at the homestead, I'll be taking a very close look at this. Thanks for your work in putting this exchange together :)
You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and showing your appreciation, my friend.
Wow this is moving so fast, great to see it going full steem with so many wanting to help.
You could also use the tag #makeithealthy also as it would help others looking for sustainability and homesteading as a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you for the gift, totally didn't expect it, really is appreciated
Your enthusiasm is humbling. The beauty in this is we are using existing structure to give visibility for a few needs that are usually not put forward, as need in societal terms is considered a weekness.
By pairing people in this way, we simply eliminate money from the equation and everyone wins. No waste or redundancies were created by making a whole new platform from scratch.
This means the ability we put together has always been there, so we could have had this going the next day if we wanted.
Again thank you for engaging this on a personal level, my friend.
This seems like a really cool initative. I was just asking my friend @j3551c4 about using sites like AirBnB.
Thank you so much. We believe this can help a lot of people. We just need to get the word out and blogs posted.
Congratulations! Your article has been linked and featured in the most recent Weekly Homesteading Newsletter! Thank you for the great content and have a wonderful Sunday!
nice post friend
