Hello all!
This is Brittany. I’m your resident online editor; I do believe that I’ve yet to actually surface in this blog.
Katie informed me that I should write some sort of blog entry. You know, as I’m updating the website with all the week’s stories and pictures. And, with any luck, this blog as well.
I’ve just finished uploading the majority of the site. What I typically do is come in after Katie and Kate have made the final adjustments on the paper with the help of the rest of our staff. I get the fun job of seeing all the little mistakes that are still left in there after it’s too late to change them. I get to hang out in The Transcript office into Wednesday evening so that everything is up by Thursday morning.
This particular evening, I’m listening to Mozart L’opera Rock. Yes. A French rock opera. No, I do not speak French. My roommates went to France last semester and got me utterly addicted to it. As I’m writing this entry, I’ve listened to the soundtrack once all the way through and am on the twelfth song of the second go-round. I’m hoping to get out of here by the time I finish the second go round.
Anyway. Online stuff. My big hope this semester is to make a lot of improvements to the site and to expand it – to get some genuine online content. There are already some pictures that are only online. Hopefully, everyone also noticed the video that went up last week as well. We’re planning on have more of those. I also want to add online columns. This blog, of course, should also draw a large crowd. My big battle of this evening was getting the pictures up to quality. They’ve always gotten resized and pixellated when I upload them. Tonight, I think I finally conquered that problem. My roommates will be hearing about it for the rest of the night. So will Katie – for the next week.
In any case, I am ready to wrap this up, upload the blog, double check everything and send out some kind of witty email saying that the site is up.
Night all!
- Brittany
