It's Easy to Blog on Duluth Patch

Now, it's easier than ever to blog on Duluth Patch.

As you know, Duluth Patch is including local bloggers, and the ranks are growing. Nationally, Patch now has more than 20,000 bloggers! We want bloggers who can write on various topics, share their personality and engage our readers in discussions.

Now, you just have to sign up for a Patch account. It's free. Yes, it's that simple. Sign up and start blogging.

Patch is more than a news site, it's an online conversation about your community.

• Are you passionate about Duluth issues?
• Do you have a special interest or expertise that you’d like to share?
• Do you have strong opinions about local government?
• Can you just make us all laugh?
• Can you write cleanly and compellingly?

Then we want to hear from you.

This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month. 

Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience.

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.

My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to Duluth Patch to to ensure there are no libelous claims. I would correct obvious typos, too.

We are not paying bloggers, but if you'd like to the opportunity to share your unique voice with our readers, click on "Start a Blog" on the Home Page and follow the format. You can upload a photo of yourself as well as photos and videos that relate to your blog.
