Recent Upgrades to the Centers Directory

It's been a week or two since the last post - not because nothing is going on. Actually, a lot is.

This past week was the annual convention of Chabad-Lubavitch shluchim. You can read all about it at these links:

• Emissaries Convene in New York for Annual Chabad-Lubavitch Conference
• Lubavitch Lay Leaders Gather in New York for Their Own Conference
• Gallery: Largest-Ever Chabad Conference

There was even a live broadcast of the main event, the banquet. Check out the comments there.

While we are on this topic, I will point out two recent upgrades to the Centers Directory.

Firstly, we are added a feature to display local times of a center. Since Chabad is international - and is open to help anybody, you may not realize that the number you are calling while looking at the listing in the directory is halfway across the world. We list the local time to there to help you plan your call accordingly. Click here for a sample.

We also began displaying the mailing address Centers. In many cases, especially international locations, the mailing address to send correspondence may be different that the physical location. We don't want you walking to the Post Office for services! Check out this example.

I'll be posting soon about some other new updates to the site...
