Back in Action!

After a beautiful weekend filled with World Cup excitement and amazing weather, we were back to work at the Forest Hills Public Library.  With our website and template still being set up for us by our friends in the Golden State, we focused this meeting on drafting some writing for the website.

First, we wrote descriptions of some projects we were involved in.  Each description features basic information (location, years active, and status), a brief summary of the project, a list of interns and mentors involved, and a section for media related to the project.  We added these descriptions to our database and will continue to build our collection as we learn more about other projects that will be presented on the site.

Additionally, we brainstormed some ideas for the design of the website itself, including a logo.  We’re thinking of an infinity sign (for the “infinite” part of our name) with “The Infinetwork” written along the curve.  As soon as we get our hands on a graphics editing software, we can begin formally designing it. 

Until next time!

‘Bio’ Experiment

It was a gorgeous day today in the city, so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful New York weather. Central Park was bustling with runners, tourists, children, and dogs alike as we brainstormed our next steps for the website. We experimented with different intern biography styles (bullet points, paragraphs, Q&A style), and further familiarized ourselves with WordPress and our selected theme, Chariot, by watching tutorials on the website and YouTube. So far, so good! We’re looking forward to moving to the back end of the site.

We also did some team bonding today, attending Shakespeare in the Park’s production of Much Ado about Nothing! Granted, it’s only 5 P.M. and we’re still waiting for the show to start, but we’re excited and hope it’s going to be good!
