Time to Take the Plunge
No, this isn't about making a decision to sink three-quarters of a million dirham into an apartment. It's about getting started with the Herculean task of fashioning a larger Dubai Marina community website. The idea started as a way to create an adjunct to the MAG 218 Community site, that would allow residents and investors to capitalize on and participate in the larger community. The potential scope of such a project, however, quickly came to seem overwhelming.
That unfortunately caused me to stall in my tracks
!!
Several months later it appears that the Dubai Marina pages are receiving a large number of hits. In order not to dissappoint, I endeavor to start building this site, even if I have to do so one brick at a time!
I have abandoned my original plan of creating a comprehensive listing of all the towers proposed or under construction in the Marina. In stead, and in line with the notion of being an adjunct to the MAG 218 website, I will take a tower-by-tower approach, starting from the vicinity of the MAG 218 tower.
In addition, I shall enlist help from others through the use of a "collaborative blog." In stead of explaining that here, I invite the reader to click on this link to find out how he or she can contribute.
To start with, I will briefly explain The Organization of the Site, to facilitate browsing and participation:
Content will be oganized into five distinct categories (each under its own website):
Dubai Marina Communities will introduce and discuss each tower or project. As in a typical blog, whatever is written will be logged by date rather than by topic. Therefore, what you will have is an emerging, somewhat random description of the tower or project. Of course, included in these posts will be discussion, photos and links regrading anything tower/project-specific.
Dubai Marina News will provide links--and some commentary--on news that is relavent to the larger Marina community, as opposed to anything tower/project-specific. Not just any news story or article will be posted but rather only those that introduce new info or shed new light on topics already introduced.
Dubai Marina Info will function as a site to offer directory type information on resources that pertain to the Dubai Marina, and provide details about upcoming events or programs. (In this sense it will be quite distinct from the Dubai Marina News site.)
Dubai Marina Photos will be just that, a photo site. Again it will focus on Marina-wide or larger area shots as oppossed to being tower/project-specific. The objective will be to offer attractive, artistic and comtemplative views of the Marina.
DM Blog (Dubai Marina) will be a site for free-ranging discussion on anything Dubai Marina. Whereas the other sites are to be function oriented, the DM Blog will hopefully emerge as a more spontaneous forum.
In order to make posting fast and easy, no effort will be made to organize posts in any more specific arrangement than that which the 5 distinct categories provide for. Therefore, the best way to browse posts will be to scroll down and pay attention to each post's title and subheading, or quickly view the title of posts in the sidebar.
Without further ado,Let the evolution of the Dubai Marina Communities websites begin!
