The Project

Create a central hub where a fan can come throughout the day and catch the newest gallery, article, game stats, videos and social content that has been published.

Automated Updating

The previous system for Nets Central was a tedious affair where, after creating an article, we then had to slice the article's various pieces up and add them to Nets Central as a code block. The same was true for photo galleries - after posting a gallery, we then had to create various graphics and then add those to the old Nets Central as a chunk of code.

With the new system that I implemented, I tapped into the API that contains all of the various pieces of content we create (articles, galleries, etc.) and fed those into Nets Central. The new system now means that all we have to do is simply create an article and then it is automatically populated into Nets Central in chronological order. This new system also applies to the "more" articles that appear below the main Brook-Lenn's Own article as well as the 4 photo galleries that appear on the page.

Aside from creating this new system, I also created the page as a whole - designed and implemented.

The Result

The amount of time spent updating the site during and after Nets games has decreased dramatically. The amount of time spent per visit on Nets Central has also increased.
