How do I get myself on the SSIW map?
To get on the Google map, you just need to send off a quick message to our angel Sionned or post in this thread here, in either case saying where you would like to be put on the map.
In the FAQ number 7, it has a link to Sionnedās member page which doesnāt work.
Ah, gotcha - not the map page, but the FAQ page on the secondary navbar - diolch 
Linked it to this thread instead
Bore da - I still canāt see how to go about contacting Sionned to be added to the map, so hopefully if I leave my information here sheāll see it! I live in St. Clair, Dunedin, New Zealand - looks like Iām one of four SSiW users in that city.
Also, can anyone tell me what the difference between the pointers and the martini glasses on the map is? my guess is that the glasses are native Welsh speakers, but thatās only a guess.
As far as I know, the basic pointers are people who have signed up for the lessons, whilst the champagne glasses are people who are paying money.
Is it possible to search for members on this site, if they havenāt posted on the forum? That seemed to go hand in hand with the idea of the map. And the names seem to be the ones from the old site.
Sionned does not seem to be as active on this site as she used to be, so I donāt know if anyone is keeping the map up to date.
This is certainly not a complaint, just a statement that the map doesnāt seem to be playing as large a part on the new site as the old, so it isnāt kept up as much as it was! All the hard work done has to be rationed out in the most effective way, as it were!
(For what itās worth, I never got back any answers from enquiries or advertising our group to people through the map, so Iām not personally that worried about it not being of use in that way any more. [Iād often find Iād been sending info or adverts to people who hadnāt logged on the site in years!] Other peoples experience may vary, of course!)
I donāt think Sionned has seen this thread yet, so Iām going to email it to her, and then itāll be easier for people to message her (and she should get alerts for the thread as well)
You are all right - I havenāt been as active here (because I havenāt been getting the e-mail notifications I used to with the old forum, which reminded me to look in!). But a few people have contacted me directly and I have updated their pins on the map. It is a bit of a mash at the moment, because most of the names are the old forum names, and many people are using different (mostly ārealā) names here. Now that we have a specific thread for this, perhaps we can get it back up to snuff. Here are a couple of suggestions for people -
OwainLurch is correct about what the different pins mean - or meant, anyway. Since the beginning, the basic pins were just anyone for whom I have a location and the cocktail glasses were for people who were paying members - moving on past the first course. That was based on the fact that we had a special area in the old forum for the paid members that included a āloungeā with a virtual bar that had a lot of silly stuff going on sometimes. There are also special icons for Aran and Iestyn (a kind of flame) and for the āangelsā (suns). At this point, I donāt have an easy way to tell if people are paying for the courses (unless they mention that theyāre in an upper level or something) so that distinction may stop being useful.
I will take care of anything I get as quickly as I can (though Iām a bit busy lately ā¦) If I donāt, feel free to poke me! 
And thanks, Aran!
Hi Sionned - if you click the circle at the bottom and change it to the blue circle with exclamation mark (āwatchingā), youāll get notifications about this thread.
Thanks for the speedy reply Sionned. When you get time to add a few more tags to the map, Iād be a new one (I havenāt been marked on there before) - Iām a standard (non-paying) Welsh-learner in Norfolk Street, St Clair, Dunedin, NZ (south end of the city, not far from the beach, if that makes it easier to find!). Diolch
Ah yes - Dunedin is a lovely place. We didnāt get down as far as St. Clair (I donāt think) but the whole country is just so beautiful! (The Welsh Choir I was in did a tour in NZ in 2011 - and we sang in Dunedin.) Iāve put you on the map - if it needs adjusting any, just let me know. (That goes for anyone - even if itās just āmove it two houses northā)
Hey, Sionned! Itās lovely to have you back on the forum! The new look has really made a difference already, in all sorts of ways - itāll be great to see this thread growing again!
I am in Cairnbaan near Lochgilphead, Argyll, Scotland. I am Henddraig (Jacqueline).
Itās certainly a great place to liveā¦ though Iād like to visit Wales again someday (I havenāt been there since I was a very young child). Thanks very much for adding the marker - da iawn! (itās close enough - I actually walked past the spot where the marker is a couple of hours ago! Iām a couple of hundred metres north, opposite the end of Sandringham Street, but - as I said, definitely close enough). Diolch 
(later) - ah - I can look out the front window of my house and see a giant blue pointer directly outside Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Hi, Sionned! can you add me to the map. Twydallā¦Diolch!
Shwmae Sionned, could you please adjust my marker, Winter Haven, FL 33881. Apparently, an unqualified Florida is a grass hut in the middle of the Everglades.
Diolch
Hey, this is great! Keep sending me places to put you (or updates) and Iāll keep putting them up!
Craig - Iāve adjusted your location to Winter Haven. Yes - just saying āFloridaā is likely to get you out in the middle of nowhere - it is a big state! When I searched using the zip code it put you in the middle of a golf course (!) but I moved that closer to some houses. If you want it adjusted any more, let me know.
And Dinas! I canāt believe I didnāt already have you on the map!! I do now!
Jacqueline - I put you in Cairnbaan with your name as āHenddraig (jacquelineycomben)ā so that people might be able to find you here. As with everyone - if you want any adjustments, let me know!
Keep 'em coming folks!
Diolch, Sionned!
Could you put our Rochester, Kent site on the meetings map as well. I feel embarrassed to ask but can I have a champagne class please? 
Shwmae Sionned. Could you please add me on the map? I live in Turnhout, Belgium. Diolch yn fawr
Where you have it is fine. I actually prefer not to have my exact address specified. Diolch eto.
