I think I speak for the bulk of homesteaders here when I say this Steemit platform has provided an unprecedented ability for us to truly come together and share our collective wisdom. What an amazing privilege to have access to a wealth of curated information, up-to-date stories, as well as “live” help and comments.
Just think about the alternative methods that we’ve all used:
- Surfing the internet for a particular homesteading topic of interest and saving random websites in your favorites folder to consider at some point.
- Signing up for dozens of different free e-newsletters and clogging up your inbox with various blog content.
- Asking questions on a variety of help forums in hope someone is still out there listening.
This platform is truly revolutionary in the way it encourages continual participation and positive contributions to the community. People are even meeting up with each other in person and taking their relationships to the next level. Check out an example here.
All of these thoughts spurred me on to create this fun logo, “Homesteaders Unite on Steemit!" Feel free to copy and paste this logo into any of your homesteading posts. I’m interested in your thoughts on this. Would it be helpful to create a category tag, “HomesteadersUnite” if your story would be beneficial to other homesteaders? Where do you see this virtual homesteading community going?
Feeling thankful. @allforthegood.
Thanks for your contribution!

I think we're best off sticking with the homesteading tag. Being limited to 5 tags and knowing that this is likely where a new visitor will start.

HI @allforthegood love the logo. I've just posted an updated version of the Preppers and Homesteaders on steemit list.

I am sure many on that list would be interested in this.

I definitely agree that this platform will be good to share information among its users. It will also be good for those who are younger to have the ability to learn from others. I know I am looking forward to this enriching experience.

I completely agree. Especially since there so many are first generation homesteaders learning everything on their own.

We've been homesteading since about 2005. Off and on. Love the logo idea. Still learning about steem it. Hoping I can do more to help our little homestead and other homesteaders alike

It is great to see more homesteaders on Steemit, for sure! That's a great badge! I think I'll be integrating that into my posts! Is there some reason the Homesteading tag isn't sufficient? It seems like new people would be searching that tag. And since we only get 5 tags, the post content might need some of them.

I thought about that too. It may not make sense to create a new tag. We'll see where this goes and what the community wants.

Love the badge! I am going to totally use it in some future posts!
Even though we have always had the opportunity in one way or another to blog about homesteading aspects, I am really enjoying the functionality and community on Steemit. We're all a little dorky, and that totally adds to the amazingness each individual person!
I have recently joined a Homesteading Friend Train and a Gardening one that seems pretty promising to join Homesteaders together!
