We Want Your Voice! Blog on Patch

Hey Lake Viewers, it’s your editor Andy.

Are you passionate about something? Anything? Then I want you to speak up and blog on Lake View Patch.

I personally think blogging on a local site like Patch is a cool, 21^st century way of interacting with your neighbors outside the occasional nod-and-smile while walking by someone on the sidewalk. That’s not exactly being neighborly!

So let’s talk! I want you to start sharing your opinion or expertise on anything you’d like. Your blog can be one paragraph or one hundred – I don’t care. From political junkies with something to say to a kitchen fanatic with the best recipe for a roasted chicken, you should start blogging about it on Patch.

Still don’t think you have anything interesting to say? Here’s a list of insanely successful blogs ideas I’ve seen in the past on Patch:

• International Recipes
• Ask the Car Guy: Auto Tips and Tricks
• Movie Critics
• Local Political Junkies
• Gardening Tips
• Fashion Gurus
• Parents, High School Students, Teachers or Professors
• Local Sports Junkies (Cubs, anyone?)
• Extreme Couponers

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, folks. Lake View Patch’s first blogger is Garry Albrecht from LakeView Historical. He just posted an introduction of cool photos and stories to come, so why not join him?
