Meet the new intern, Coco

Please join me and the unicorns in welcoming Coco, Offbeat Bride's new intern! She'll be doing the behind-the-scenes gruntwork that keeps OBB running smoothly — stuff like producing Real Wedding posts, moderating comments, cleaning up tag clouds, and emptying the digital composting toilets.

Coco just finished her degree at LA's Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and when I asked her why she wanted to be an Offbeat Intern (seriously: web grunt work ain't glamorous), here was what she said:

Through my internship at OBB I hope to learn more about blogging, marketing, and writing. I want to fine-tune my blog writing skills and learn more HTML. I also hope to become more web savvy so I can use terms like "SEO" and "link-rot" and actually know what they mean. Lastly, I want to learn more about weddings in general, more specifically photography in order to be the best second shooter EVAR!

For those of you who've been around OBB for a while, you know that Shrie, my first intern, went on to become my Contributing DIY Editor. Megan, my second intern, went on to become the Managing Editor. For all we know, Coco may murder me in my sleep and usurp the entire Offbeat Empire!
