Wiki Assignment #1 - Screen Time Exercise

Scottish Young Labour

Scottish Young Labour's swish new logo

Scottish Young Labour's swish new logo

For this first assignment we've to write about something online that we like - a website, a blog, a game. Well, what better thing to write about than something that you and your friends have created themselves!

Outwith university, I'm quite active in politics, and am currently the Chair of the youth wing of the Scottish Labour Party (trust me, it's really not as fancy as it sounds). Lyndzcmedia (talk) 13:49, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Basically, the new committee decided to do a mass rebranding of the youth wing. A fresh look. So, we started with a brand new website. Take a look, explore the content, come back another day and check it again.

One of the simplest but perhaps my most favourite thing about the rebrand was creating a new logo for all our social media and for the website. I also like the fact that, as we created the website through Nation Builder, at the bottom of the website it has an area entitled 'Powered by People Like You', where there's a profile photo stream which automatically updates when new people connect with us through Facebook. Plus, using Nation Builder mad it a lot easier for people more used to a bit of Photoshop than making proper websites. The mobile optimised website is pretty nifty too if I do say so myself - there's a nice 'slide out' menu when you tap the menu icon, and everything actually fits on the screen pretty comfortably!

We also have started a new weekly blog (our first which you can find HERE), where members are invited to write their thoughts on what is happening in the political world.

Without doubt though, the best part about the website is the little 'Easter Eggs' we've hidden in it...click hereto see one of my favourites.

The website is still in it's formative stages, and still has it's hiccups but it's something we are all really pleased with so far and look forward to making better in the future.
