Having a motive, preparing a place, inviting a group of friends, sharing a good time, booking next getting together, and no troublemaker coming is the process of a successful party, which depends on work of host. The author, Gladding, smartly compared a community network as a party in his “how to be a great host” and gives advice for how to make a good community.
We should make our homepage decent that suit the context of our community and the registration to the community should not be intensive so that everyone can easily participate. After the preparation is done well, we start inviting guests. Once people are here, we should be a friendly host, make guests feel welcome and introduce guests to each other, and always provide fresh conversations. To make the community have a proper direction, we can make some rules and write the rules clearly and simply. To keep the guest interested, we must supply a great deal of unique content, update on a regular basis and respond to the comments of the guests. When the community grows, we can ask for some members to be co-moderators to draw their attention and to encourage them to exert their energy.
In conclusion, the community is a place to share information, to get acquainted with people, and to create deep friendship with each other. As the community network grows, three characteristics: complexity, challenges and attractions accompanies. We should make effort to activate and make the community enjoyable.

Hello Taketei, This is a very clear and easy to read summary. I especially like the number of points you have included and the flow from one to the other. What kind of "rules" do you want your IE community to follow? How do you write good rules - rules that people will take time to read, support, and contribute their ideas to? I am sure you will be an excellent host and I hope you find it very rewarding too. Thank you, Owen.
