Patch 101: Posting Announcements is Easy

Are you the proud parent, sibling, grandparent, friend or admirer of a student who's made the honor roll? Did you earn an awesome promotion or get engaged? Do you have a press release with news you want our readers to see?

Share the good news on Hellertown Patch!

Whether your kid got straight A's for the first time, you've become a black belt, your company is looking for interns or you have a volunteer opportunity, Hellertown-Lower Saucon Patch is the place to let it be known.

Go to the new announcement page.

We have a category for almost everything (births, deaths, sports awards, religious occasions, thank you, etc.), so feel free to post an announcement for just about anything.

Make sure you're a registered user on Patch (all you need is a name and an e-mail address) and you can upload your own announcements. Once logged in, scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Announce something to everyone" under the Contribute category.

In the announcement template, write a title. Select a category that best fits the announcement. Write a brief description. You can even add photos and video to accompany your announcement, and after posting you can share the link with your friends and family.

It's that simple.
