Have Something To Say? Come Blog on Patch!

You probably have noticed: Minnetonka Patch features local voices on our website. And we'd love to have you join us!

We're looking for bloggers who can riff on various topics, share their personality and engage our readers in discussions. It's super easy to get started. Just visit this link to post your very first blog!

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

• Are you passionate about Minnetoka's core issues?
• Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
• Do you have strong opinions about local or national government?
• Do you have an insight into education topics?
• Can you just make us all laugh?
• Do you want to share things you've already written?
• Are you a manager or business owner looking to drive web-based traffic?

Then we want to hear from you.

This isn't a reporting job. It's like writing your thoughts in a notebook. 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 website or to 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.
