FOLLOW A MEMBER MARATHON!!!
We have all loved experimenting and posting in our feed since it launched! 
I have noticed that many members have been hesitant to join in & follow each other and fellow listeners. The feed is intended to be a place of sharing, connection building and encouragement. I follow many people whom I have never chatted with & for those of you who are comfortable with that, I want to invite you to join the..... drum roll please..........
Follow a Member Marathon!
What is the follow a member marathon?
A 1 week event in which we encourage members & listeners to follow each other! Specifically, if you look at your follow list and you see that you primarily follow listeners, go find 26 members to follow!
26 miles in a marathon & 26 members in the follow a member marathon!
How do you find people to follow?
- Forum
- Group supports
- My impact contact list
- Reposts on your feed
When does this start?
RIGHT NOW!
If you participate, please share the names of the 26 members you have followed in this thread! When you post write -
"i am honored to now be following....and tag their names"
Once completed, you will earn the "Marathon Badge!"
Anyone, who goes above and beyond the marathon challenge (by listing 26 or more new ppl they are following), will be eligible to earn 1 cheer for every extra person they follow!

Lovely feeds!
I am following each of these lovely members. Some of them are new to my feed, and others are practically part of the furniture.... or feedniture.... but either way, I am so excited that I get to be a part of each of their journeys here at 7 cups! =D
Especially now that the feed has just gone mobile! =D
If any of you want to follow me in return, please do! I feel the need to post a puppy picture in the coming days! Stay tuned for cuteness! haha

@StandForFreedom, thanks, lovely! Puppies are always a good sight ^^
@StandForFreedom .... Heyyyyyyyy! Sup, dear? :) - Platy -
@Laura
Great Idea! I think this will certainly promote more communication between listeners and members.
Great idea! In an effort to work towards building disability/chronic illness support I searched out members that have posted about the disability room closing, have posted in disability/chronic illness forum threads... if any of you know of other members and listeners that would be good to connect with please feel free to suggest them to me! I followed a few extra because some are waiting on follow approval

Also, if anyone knows why when I "@" someone it doesn't link? What do I need to do to make it come up as a link to their profile? Thanks!!
@PeppermintSnowflake, automatic hyperlink works in feed only, I think.
If you want to link to someone's profile in forums, you have to do it while creating a post ("insert/edit link" icon). I hope it makes sense to you ^^;
Best wishes!
@Celaeno thanks!
testing...

<a href="PeppermintSnowflake" target="_blank">https://www.7cups.com/@PeppermintSnowflake</a> using html only?
@PeppermintSnowflake, yeah, HTML doesn't work here much -.-

@PeppermintSnowflake
What a great way to initiate connections on some common ground. I hope to see you as a disability support member soon - you basically were doing that role, along with a few other listeners, without the title!
@PeppermintSnowflake Thank you for this. What a wonderful idea. Creative thinking outside of the box. Hack the planet !! LOL
im following these members 26 in total
