To Blog Or Not To Blog, Is that your question?

Hazelwood Patch is giving residents, business owners, teachers, principals and most importantly, you, a platform to express yourself.

We're looking for bloggers, new or established, that can be themselves, sharing their personality and engaging our readers in discussions. Choose your own topics.

Patch is more than a news site, it's an online conversation about your community, be it one where you currently live, or one in which you grew up.

• Do you have strong thoughts on our local government?
• Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
• Do you have strong opinions on what should be coming to Hazelwood?
• Are you from or live in Hazelwood and have content specific blogs?
• Can you write a compelling blog post?

Tell us about yourself. 

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.

While there's no pay involved, you'll get to put your valuable views on a site that is increasingly serving as a community hub. And since we're part of the Huffington Post Media Group, we may occasionally be able to put your submission in front of a huge audience. You can write as often (or as infrequently) as you'd like, though we'd love it if you’d come back again and again.

Patch won't own what you post. You are using Patch just as you would any other blogging platform, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Patch also takes no stance to the right or left as it pertains to politics, but you are free to express your opinions as a blogger.

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself. 

My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to Hazelwood Patch ensuring there are no libelous claims. I might correct obvious typos, too.
