Fall Sports Bloggers Wanted: Share Your News on Patch

Windham Patch is looking for bloggers for the fall sports season.

With the new Patch platform, blogs are automatically featured front-and-center on the Windham Patch homepage. As soon as you post, the community can join your discussion. 

After your blog is live, feel free to promote it on your Facebook and Twitter account. We'll share your post with the community in our daily newsletter.

1. Go to the Windham Patch homepage.

2. Click on "Join" on the upper right side of the page.
3. Follow the simple instructions to confirm your account.
4. Log in and click on your name in the upper right.
5. Click on "Edit Profile" on the right and add a photo and a brief bio

And here’s how to start a blog:
Once you’re logged in, go to the homepage. 
1. On the homepage, scroll down to the “Who’s Blogging?” module which is below the “News & Blogs” feed.
2. Click on the “Start blogging” button at the bottom right of the “Who’s Blogging?” module.
3. Complete setup by inputting the name of your blog, description and choosing or uploading a blog icon image
4. Click on “Create your blog.”
5. Now you can either “Write your first post,” “Dress up your blog” or tell people about it.
6. For your first blog all you need is a category, a brief description, a photo and then your text in the body of the article.
7. Click ‘Post Now,’ or if you are not ready to post, save it as a draft and come back to it later.

Patch bloggers are not paid and they own the content they produce. So if you are already blogging and want to share with our readers, too, let us know.
