Want to Blog on Patch? Here’s How

First, you have to start a blog. If you’ve never blogged with us before, here’s how to start your very own Patch blog:

1. Go to Greer-Taylors Patch’s homepage. 
   
2. On the Patch homepage, scroll down below the stories and above the events. There’s a green box (“Who’s Blogging?”) highlighting our wonderful bloggers and a brighter green button that says “Start Blogging!” Click that bright green button to start a blog.
3. Next you’ll name your blog, write a description and choose an icon. These will be displayed on all of your blog posts, so choose a name and description that describes what your blog will be about.
4. Your blog is created! Follow the rest of the steps to post.

1. In the top right corner, click the button that says “Hi, Your Name!” (You must be signed in to see this.)
2. When the drop-down menu opens, click “Your Profile.”
3. On your profile is a list of blogs you have access to. Choose which one you want to post on and click on it.
4. Below the name and description of your blog, there’s a white box that says “Write a new post…” Click there.
5. Above your cursor, there are two words: Note and Article. Choose article for more formatting options.
6. Write! Don’t forget to add a photo.
7. Hit “Post Now.”
8. You’re live on the site!
