It’s been about two weeks since the SSA website was launched http://www.SydneySindhiAssociation.org, starting with just the layout and a bunch of images the website has slowly evolved and most of the pages are now populated with content. In the weeks and months to come I plan on working on more content and introduce new functions and features which will benefit our community.

I am hoping that the website will be a popular place for the members of SSA where they will get up-to-date information on various events and find out what’s happening in our community. The website is designed to serve the SSA members and offers services only accessible by them once a SSA member registers with this website, the services the SSA website offers include:

• SSA Forum – A place to share your thoughts and opinions.
• SSA Blogs – Each of the Committee members will have a blog and will be encouraged to regularly blog on the website to share what’s in plan for the SSA members. You can contribute your ideas by submitting your comments in response to the blog.
• SSA Members Directory – A list which contains the name, address and contact details of each SSA member. The member’s directory is generated from the profiles of those SSA members who have registered on the SSA website. So spread the word and encourage others to register and keep your details up-to-date.
• SSA Members Mapped – Ever had to pull out the street directory to find a SSA member’s house? Well this part of the website uses Google Mapping Technology which allows you to visually locate where a SSA member lives. There are plans to enhance this feature by introducing “Get Directions” from your house to another SSA member’s house.
• SSA Photo Gallery – This section of the website has a collection of Photo Albums which have photos taken from various SSA Functions.
• SSA Newsletters – A listing of the SSA Newsletters are available to be downloaded by SSA Members.
• SSA Calendar – This calendar is marked with the important events which include SSA functions and activities. SSA members can enrol themselves in these functions and activities so that they can be reminded via email and the SSA Committee Members can use the
  enrolled count for catering purposes.
• Announcements – Regular announcements are posted in this section which are relevant to our community.
  The SSA website has much more then what I have listed above so take your time explore the website, visit regularly and should you have any comments or feedback please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I plan on introducing the functionality of the website via a series of blogs “Introduction to SSA Website” so visit the website again and check out my blog.

Hope to see you online!!!!
