Good day! I now have my own account to write things up from, so here’s my first official blog.
I’ve been down in Brighton for a little over a month now, and while I’m still very much enjoying the chatter in the office (if not the choice of radio…), the recent weather changes have not been welcomed. Lots of rain and lots of wind. I got absolutely drenched on my way to work on Monday and everyone laughed at me; so I carry a towel in my bag now.
Alas. I’m sure you’re all dying to hear what I’ve been up to recently. Well, I’ve spent a lot of time working with the wiki, mostly on one of two tasks. The first is the now completed ‘Further Education’ hub, which can be seen here http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/wiki/A_Guide_to_Further_Education . That’s right, I coded that whole page myself, html and all. Pretty impressive, right? In addition to that, I spent a fair bit of time writing up a lot of those new articles, and getting in touch with third parties to provide us with some other useful information.
The other thing I have been working on is the university resources; mostly the University Guides, which you may have seen the odd thread about in one or two university forums. We’re currently testing the new look page mock up and hoping that people will give us some feedback, but most people seem reluctant. This is still very much in the development stage, but I’ve seen some screen shots of what it’ll all look like, and well, it’s going to be good when we get it implemented. I’ve been promised the chance to learn some more about the business side of things over the next few weeks, which sounds really good. There are so many interesting facts and figures to do with TSR that I’m sure most people would be pretty surprised to hear.
I can’t really say much about what the other dudes are working on, since they all do stuff that’s far more important than what I do, but they’re all working really hard on their respective development and advertising tasks and what have you. This sounds quite a lot like propaganda, and tbh it is; but I’m being paid, so I don’t mind too much :$
In other (similarly FASCINATING) office news, there’s another intern in the office right now, and no one knows who. Isn’t that exciting! </insert ‘teehee’ smiley here.>
I think that’s all I have to say. Keep it real, TSR fans.
