What Are Boards on Patch? Use Them to Connect with Community

Written by Julie Weisberg

Are there times when you are looking for a quick way to get the word out about something to your entire community?  

Maybe you saw a street sign that needed to be replaced, or had a question about a new store opening around town. 
You may also have an announcement to make about your school’s bake sale or your street’s yard sale.
Boards on Oakdale Patch are a great way to alert the town about whatever you need to say.

Ready to get started? Here’s how:

From the homepage, type what you want to say in the box that says “Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something.” Choose a category and click “Post.” It’s that easy!

The post will appear on the homepage and the Boards section of the site. You can also go to the Boards section to see what others are posting about.

You have a few boards to choose from:

• Buy/Sell/Trade
• Business Updates
• Opinion
• Announcements

Anyone can comment on your board post with a question or an idea, so it’s easy to interact with your neighbors. 

And with all that visibility, your post is guaranteed to be seen by the people that matter in your town!
