Give Dad A Public Tribute For Father's Day

Your father is the greatest. So why not spread the word?

Imagine his surprise Father's Day morning (Sunday June 17) when you hand him a laptop, smartphone or tablet and show him the glowing article you've written about him on Patch.

If your dad lives elsewhere, you can email him the link.

It's fun, free and easy — just follow these instructions:

1. If you don't already have a Patch account, join here.
2. Once that's done, come back to this page and register for your own Patch blog.
3. From there select "Post on Patch" and you're ready to start blogging. You can add photos and videos.

You can use your blog at any future time you like to write about anything that interests you.

If you don't want to become a blogger, you can also post your story as an announcement by using this simple template. You can add pictures to announcements as well. Think of annoncements as a one-time blog.

If nothing else, share a story about your dad in the comments below.

Whatever you do, your testimonial will show up whenever anyone enters your dad's name into a search engine.

Your story and picture would truly be the gift that keeps on giving.
