Westport Patch Office Hours: Come Tues., 1 - 3 p.m.

You're invited to Westport Patch's "Office Hours" on Tuesday, July 31 at , 159 Main Street, from 1 - 3 p.m.

Join me, the local editor for Westport Patch, for a beverage or snack on us and to discuss what stories or features you'd like to see on Patch, or how you'd like to use the site.

Ever thought about becoming a Patch blogger? We can help you do that! Interested in posting a review or rating of a local business? We'll show you how. Would you like to know how to upload an announcement or event listing? (If you're planning to hold a tag sale this summer, you should post an event listing for it.) We can show you just how that's done.

We can also show you how to post pictures to Westport Pics & Clips, our community picture gallery. Posting pictures to works the same way.

If you know of any young person interested in becoming a journalist, send that person over and I'll do my best to talk him or her out of it. You'll thank me when they're out making real money with much less grief in some other (OK, any other) job.

Patch is meant to be your site and serve you, so let us show you how to use it and tell us how we could do it better.

We're looking forward to seeing you there on Tuesday!
