Would you like to post events, follow and create a group on Long Beach Patch? Keep this article handy each time there is something you'd like to share with our community.
To follow a group: Scroll through the interesting list of groups on Long Beach Patch. When one strikes your fancy, click the green "follow" button off to the right. Now you'll be up to date on all of the happenings for this group!
To start a group or blog: Simply click the "start a group" button on our homepage. Answer the questions to let readers know what you're group/blog is about! You can make your group private or open. Once created, now get some followers to your group. Patch will allow you to choose invitees directly from your email address book. It's that simple! You can upload a note, article, photos - whenever the mood strikes you!
To post events to the site for free: navigate to the Calendar page and click “Add an Event” on the left side of the page. Tell us all the details about your upcoming event, then click “post my event” at the bottom of the page. That puts the event directly on our calendar. The end result is the same as if a Patch staffer had posted it for you. The only difference is, when you post it, it goes up right away. If you send it to us, you might have to wait until we're done reporting on the School Board meeting, photographing an event, meeting with community members, or something else that we Patchers are always doing.
