How to Publicize Your Local Announcement

This nifty video tutorial shows users of any Patch site to post an announcement, including full press releases, by using the tools available to all users on the Patch.

Have you sent her a birth announcement or perhaps an obit (which are published free on Patch sites) or school award—only to wonder if it was ever going to be published?
