Guide to the New Ridgewood Patch Homepage

The new design aims to improve your Patch surfing experience while retaining—but improving—all the features you've come to expect. 

Some of the new features include:

• More prominently featured articles at the top of the page. Stories will stay fresh for longer, and large photos are an inviting gateway into the article.
• Announcements—with photos—also displayed in a larger format on the front.
• An easier-to-use community calendar.
• A column template at the bottom of the page that allows easier access to the different series we run, such as "Grocery Shopping With Gloria," "The Big D. in Bergen C," "The Maybe Chronicles" and others.
• A prominently displayed directory, also with photos, that will make it easier to learn more about Ridgewood's churches, government institutions, restaurants, shops and other such entities.
• A scrapbook featuring all the newest photos posted on the site. Clicking on a particular photo will take you to the corresponding article.

We hope you enjoy the new look! Feel free to leave your thoughts or questions in the comments section below.
