Wanted: A Few Good Bloggers

Starting this week, Charlestown Patch is hosting local bloggers -- and you're invited to be one of them. 

We're looking for bloggers who can riff o topics of local interest -- best places to walk the dog, life with kids in the neighborhood, where to shop, restaurant reviews. We want you to share your personality and engage our readers in discussions.

The goal is to be more than a news site -- we want to host an online conversation about your community.

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. Much like The Huffington Post has done, 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 Charlestown Patch to ensure there are no libelous claims. I might correct obvious typos, too.

If you'd like to chat about the opportunity to share your unique voice with our readers, let me know by emailing kristi.ceccarossi@patch.com or by calling me at 617-833-3751.
