First Day At HollywoodLife!

Today I completed my first day interning at HollywoodLife by Bonnie Fuller. I arrived to the office, which is located in New York City near Times Square. Walking to my office was not a far walk from Grand Central, which I greatly appreciated because I am commuting into the city.

Once my boss arrived to the office, I was immediately put to work. I figured I would be making coffee, stapling papers and being of assistance to whoever needed help; however, that was exactly the opposite of the work I performed on my first day! I greatly appreciated that. My boss, Katrina, who is a very lovely lady told me to sit next to the other interns who were currently writing a story for the website. I was told to take notes on how to use the websites blogging system and how to ultimately create a finalized blog page. I learned how to embed videos, photographs, create polls etc. At first it was very overwhelming trying to learn how to use our systems program called WordPress; however, I eventually mastered the basics and was able to write three stories for Katrina by the end of the day. Two of them actually went up on the website which I was super proud about!

Below are the blogs I created on my first day at HollywoodLife which were actually published to the website. Check them out if you're interested!

Below is just a screen-shot one of my blogs that were posted onto the website today. I was extremely excited to see what I wrote be put up online and have my name at the end of the article. It was a very gratifying feeling!

I am very excited to return back to work tomorrow and look forward to all that I will learn here interning at HollywoodLife.
