What exactly is a blog?

A web log, or blog, is a place where an individual or group can share information, ideas, and participate in conversations.

At Patch, we offer a combination of original staff content, a blog platform for local bloggers, events, announcements, updated business and community directory listings, and community message boards. 

Patch offers each reader the ability to publish their own blog on an established website with a wide, local audience. For Patch purposes, the blog platform is your space to share what's important to you and your immediate community.

We have local residents communicating information about an array of topics already such as: businesshigh school sportscyclinggeneral maintenance and repairrecreationpoliticsvolunteerism and charity, and so much more!
