Catching up.

Once again, I have failed to keep my blog updated.

A lot has been going on lately though! I have finished my third feature for wakeforestsports.com and it's going up on the website tomorrow. It was about a sophomore golfer named Evan Beck who is from Virginia Beach, Va. The article touches on things from Virginia golf to how Beck's season has gone so far. It isn't the most thrilling article in the world, but it's a lot shorter than the last one and has a few random, fun stats and historical facts thrown in.

The major project that I am working on right now is revitalizing the cheerleading/dance/mascot website. It's actually kind of interesting to do given that I was on the dance team and remember what qualms I had with the site when I was a part of it. My supervisor has given me a lot of freedom with the project, so I've been able to completely design and write everything for the page.

The first step was redesigning. I had to come up with a new format for how I wanted the content to be shown and the pages to be set up and linked together. Once I figured that out, I went through the office server and found as many recent pictures of the teams as possible for the new photo gallery that we're going to have on the site. Then, I drafted a questionnaire that I distributed to the cheer and dance teams for their members to fill out. Once they were filled out, I typed up all of the information and created the brand new roster for the web page. Before, the only information given about each member of the teams was basic like their hometown and their major. Now, each athlete will have their own individual page that lists their cheer/dance experience, career goals, etc.

I'm really excited to see how the web page turns out. I'm waiting now for an official roster from the coach so that I can make sure everyone is included and that all names are spelled correctly. Once, that's done, we just have design all of the graphics for the page and then we can get the ball rolling!

I won't be going into the office any more this week because I want to attend a PR workshop that interferes with my internship schedule. However, I'll be back next week with lots of more info on the website and some updates on my next feature topic.

Until next time,
