This Father's Day, Immortalize Dad on Patch

You know he's the world's greatest, but until now spreading the word has been limited to how many people might see a coffee mug or a barbecue apron.

But this is the 21st century. Imagine his surprise on Father's Day morning—which is Sunday, June 17, by the way—when you hand him a laptop, smartphone or tablet and show him the glowing article you've written about him on Patch.

It's fun, free and easy to do, just follow these instructions and you'll be ready to start in no time. You can even add photos and videos.

Just remember that if dad's a Patch reader, too, you may want to wait until the night before to upload your testimony to his greatness.

And once your blog is set up, you can use it to write about anything that floats your boat.

It really is a gift that keeps on giving.

So get typin', Carrollwood and Northdale, and share your favorite dad stories. (Come on, everyone's got 'em.)
