TRANSITION IN ACTION SOCIAL NETWORK

What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...

MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.
Experiment by clicking on TOP NEWS vs ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO SHARE in the center column -- two types of Latest Activity.

Ask Les!

When you run into trouble with your site, or some issue is blocking the development of your local community, post your message here. No question is too specific or too philosophical.

If it's a quick fix, we'll fix it. If it needs a conversation, we'll talk. If multiple people register similar issues, we'll do conference calls. If it's a matter of training, we'll do it!

Keep in mind that our social network spans approximately 100 sites, spread over three continents. We can master our respective responsibilities much faster working collaboratively.

Yes! Looks great! It has replaced the outlines retroactively.

I want to search for all members in IL. Using the City, State field on the search page: IL, Illinois, Chicago IL all return zero. Chicago Returns three.

Any thoughts?

Les,

We wanted to post events for our local group (Kenai Resilience), but they ended up being available to the whole state (Alaska). What do we need to do differently?
