Introducing the All-New Patch!

Today, we’re very excited to present a new and improved Patch, with lots of new features that make it easier to stay connected to what’s happening right here in Great Neck.

Great Neck Patch has been redesigned from the inside out so you can find what you need faster and enjoy a smoother experience all around – at your desk, on your tablet or phone, and from your inbox.

We’ve also added more local voices to the front page. Now you have our dedicated news reporting alongside the latest know-how and opinion from neighborhood bloggers and businesses. Plus, we made it easier than ever to start a blog yourself, anytime.

And, we’re introducing Boards so you can connect with the community and make things happen as a neighborhood – whether you want to post a big announcement, sell something, ask a question, or just speak up.

With Boards, it’s easy to:

• Make Announcements – Instantly tell the town anything, whether it’s an upcoming civic association meeting, an accomplishment to celebrate, or a lost cat you need help finding.

• Share Opinions – Concerned about that pothole down the street? Got things to say about the last town meeting? Looking to spark up a conversation? If it’s on your mind, post it and be heard!

• Buy, Sell & Trade – Got a stroller to get rid of? Need a personal trainer or guitar lessons? Want to get that dining set out of the house? Now you can deal with people you know you can trust: your neighbors.

• Post or Follow Business Updates – Boards are open to local business owners too. And now it’s easier than ever to hear about what’s new and notable at your favorite local spots.

But most of all, we want to thank you for being a Patch reader. We really appreciate your interest, and hope you'll check out our new and updated features. And let us know what you think of the new Patch by posting your thoughts in the comments section, or emailing us at rich.jacques@patch.com
