Do-It-Yourself Tip: You Can Post Your Group's Announcements & Events. You Don't Need to Run It by Us First.

Cool little-known feature about Patch: It's by the people for the people. You can post community-worthy announcements and events directly, all by yourself.

Do-It-Yourself Tip: Post your own organization's announcement or event.

You no longer need an intermediary like the local news staff to bring your organization's events and announcements to the people you want to reach.

Social media means many-to-many communication, with you, dear readers, being the first many, and the people you want to reach being the second.

See the lime green plus signs in two places on main page?

One is in the middle-left, below the "Read More" and above the "Nearby News" columns. That's for announcements.

The other is on the righthand side, after the comments section. That's where you can post your organization's events.

Please be nice. Don't abuse the privilege. Your postings should be a legitimate public service, not a free self-promotion.

We will remove inappropriate postings and, if necessary (and I hope it never comes to this), block you from the system if we find abuses.
