Today on Patch: New Features and a New Look

Welcome to the new Patch! We’re really pleased with it and we think you’ll like it, too.

First of all, we think the site looks livelier, and more like Wayland. See that big photo on the top of the site? That’s the mural at Wayland Middle School. Yes, we know that the story of Wayland reaches well beyond its acclaimed schools, but we needed a standout recognizable central image and the mural was recommended by you, our readers.

Speaking of reader voices, the freshest thing you’ll find on the new Patch is our Boards. The Boards are a place on Patch where you can post Announcements about anything you want — lost cats and dogs, school plays, wedding announcements, or a photo of that gorgeous sunset. 

There’s an Opinion Board — because everyone in town has one, so why not put it all in one place? The Buy/Sell/Trade Board is where you can post your garage sale and get rid of the stuff that’s taken over your basement. And there’s a Board for Business Updates — a dedicated spot for business owners to post news about sales, specials, openings and closings.

Patch is all about our community — living our best lives in town, and making our town better for ourselves and our families. So please, tell us what you think of the new Patch in the Opinion Board, or through the feedback form. We can’t wait to hear from you!
